Neighborhood Watch
Lost Cat
Have you seen me? I am lost. My parents last saw me around 19th and Lombard on October 16th.
Allistor is a medium / small, short-haired light-brown Burmese / Siamese mix with green / yellow eyes, no collar, very friendly, and meows a lot.
His parents miss him very much and hope to find him soon. Please call day or night with any information or if you hear lots of meowing. (215) 735-1087

Pet Health
FREE 24-hour Poison Control Hotline
Kansas State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital is offering a free 24-hour poison control hotline for pet owners and veterinarians.
(785) 532-5679 is the number and the services has been available since 1969. Dr. Oehme, a vet and professor of toxicology and pathology oversees the hotline. Dr. Oehme offers these suggestions:
- Please limit calls to true emergencies and save curiosities and non-emergency inquiries for your vet.
- Be patient. The person answering the phone may have to take a few minutes to consult the vet on duty.
- Call as soon as possible. Immediate attention might save your animal. But waiting to see if there is a reaction could cost your animal their life.
- Have any product labels available for answers. The vet might need to know how milligram and generic names.
