The search for a missing cat turned tense when the woman who found it questioned the owner’s claim and requested $1,000 payment for vet and food costs.
Stomper Lily shared with Stomp a Facebook post by user Emellia Lullaby, who had appealed for help to locate and retrieve her missing orange maine coon kitten after disagreements broke out with the people who found and fostered it.
The case has since escalated, with both parties claiming to have filed police reports.
Kitten allegedly missing from home
According to Emellia Lullaby, her kitten went missing from her home on Nov 13. She said her helper realised the animal was gone at around 9am.
At about 2pm, before printing out posters, Emellia said she checked the Facebook group Lost and found pets in Singapore and discovered a post by a user named Cammy Kmzz, who had allegedly found a kitten that resembled hers.
She said she immediately messaged Cammy Kmzz and commented on the post. However, the post was deleted at around 6pm.
Dispute over kitten’s identity
Emellia Lullaby said Cammy Kmzz told her the kitten in her photo did not match the one found, as the paw colours were different.
She added that Cammy Kmzz later got another Facebook user, Bloom Siistax Chikaboomz, to contact her, and the call allegedly turned confrontational and he sounded “agitated”.
“He asked what colour the paws were. I said white. He then asked if I dyed the cat’s paws, which obviously not,” wrote Emellia. “He also asked if I’m willing to pay $1k for vet and food expenses, which I agreed to.”
