Where Is BeeBop?

In an effort to keep BeeBop's name in cyberspace, I am reposting the latest post from Team BeeBop's FaceBook page.  Surely someone who knows something will come forward and help bring BeeBop and his family back together.  Let's start the new year off with a happy ending in memory of Jack the Cat who really brought the world a lot closer!

"Team BeeBop feels that as long as our hearts can stand this, we will keep looking for our BeeBop. But now more than ever, is the time that we really need the help! We've got the $1,000 funds and the best brain behind this mission to get the job done. Now we need just a few more pairs of hands and legs. We are still looking for a few more soldiers to come out on Saturday (bring your tape!) and ...help spread the word one more BIG time before Winter comes to Brooklyn. We have come so far and feel that BeeBop is right around the corner within our reach. Please, if anybody else can help out Bonnie Folz on Saturday, please call either me or her at 917-626-1374 or post here or pm me. Please if you can spare an hour or two of your time it will be greatly appreciated. Just think what stories you will have to tell at your NYE parties!!!! BeeBop is still waiting. Thank you everybody for your continued support and prayers. Thank you Jack!"

 

 

 

Where Is BeeBop?

Well, thanks to power of the internet, Jack the Cat was eventually found.  Sadly, Jack passed away but as a result, more awareness has come to other missing pets.  BeeBop is a cat who is still missing.  Here is a summary of BeeBop's story:

"$500 REWARD CASH REWARD. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. BEEBOP HAS BEEN MISSING OVER 5 MONTHS IN BROOKLYN, NY, USA. Please help us find BeeBop. Missing since June 28, 2011 in Brooklyn Heights, vicinity of Columbia Place/Willow Place/State Street, 2-1/2 yr old skittish neutered half-feral/domesticated male. Black body & legs, white belly, white chin with distinctive marking on right side of face. His feet are white and his 2 front paws are different and white-tipped. He got scared of the movers and jumped out through the screen window. He was found 2 days later on July 1, 2011 in the basement of the Heights Players theater around the corner where he was being held for me but was allegedly let out!!! We believe he is still in the area. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!! He's very shy, not the type of cat to be walking around sitting on a stoop. He could be hiding under your bed. PLEASE CHECK! I have had him since he was 4 weeks old. PLEASE HELP ME FIND HIM! WILL DO ANYTHING TO HAVE OUR BABY BOY BACK!!! THANK YOU."   This is BeeBop, please help reunite BeeBop with his family:     Map of where BeeBop disappeared:

RIP Jack

It is time for airlines to revamp their rules for how baggage is handled.  The airline industry has not only being ripping off their customers by demanding ridiculous fees for "real" luggage but the way that traveling pets are treated is disgraceful.  The recent disaster created by American Airlines in the treatment of Jack the Cat should be a huge wake up call to the industry!  Animals are living beings, they are not baggage!  If an airline cannot provide a safe travel environment for a pet, they should stop thinking about the mighty dollar and honestly tell a potential passenger the truth.  Traveling with a pet that gets put in cargo is inhumane!  Rest in peace Jack and may no other animal experience the horror of what you endured in the last two months of your life.

JACK The Cat & The Rainbow Bridge

After following the story of Jack the Cat and what appeared to be a happy ending when Jack was found alive, it is with great sadness that I have just read that Jack has passed away.  Rest in peace Jack and sincerest condolences to his family, friends and the "army" of supporters who did not give up hope that he would be found alive.

Where is BeeBop?

Jack The Cat has been found thanks to the will of people and the power of the internet.  An alert has been issued by the friends of Jack to help another family in Brooklyn Heights, NY find their beloved cat BeeBop who went missing in June.  As a blogger and animal lover, I feel the need to help in whatever way I can.  Here is BeeBop's story.  Please go to his FaceBook Page, Where is BeeBop? and hopefully we can help reunite him with his family too.

JACK The CAT MISSING AT JFK AIRPORT UPDATE

From Jack The Cat's FaceBook page -- a repost of an important point with full names removed for privacy:


 This from Lynne, a FoJ who is able to do search at JFK: "yesterday one of the horse assistants at Vetport told me of a small white poodle lost by Delta. Sometime later, he was found living alone in an abandoned building. Was brought to Vetport as black & when they washed him, he turned out to be white & was reunited with searchers & family. Maybe you could remind people to be aware that Jack's coat color may not look the same as his photos show. " It's true - Jack might be DIRTY!! So get a good look at that face and don't just focus on the color of the fur!! Thanks for the reminder, Lynne!!!

JACK The CAT MISSING AT JFK AIRPORT UPDATE

This story has touched my heart for many reasons.  I am an animal lover and traveled by air with my pets many years ago as I have previously written.  I would never consider doing it again unless absolutely necessary as was the case here.  Jack the Cat somehow got out of is carrier as he was waiting to be boarded on an American Airlines flight at Kennedy Airport heading to his new home across the country with his owner.  I have been following the story since it first broke and have been re-posting updates hoping to keep the story alive. 

Update on Jack the Cat as of this morning, 9/30/11:

"‎35 days. 15,000 people. 1 lost cat. Thousands of hours, millions of footsteps used to search. Immeasurable gratitude to all who have taken the time to care. Maybe today is the day..."

JACK The CAT MISSING AT JFK AIRPORT UPDATE

I am reposting my original blog post to keep the word out about Jack.  Jack is sadly still missing.  Please, if you are traveling with your pet, be very sure you know that they are securely locked in his/her carrier.  This is a terrible story and my heart goes out to Jack and his owner.

JACK The CAT MISSING AT JFK AIRPORT

I read this story in today's newspaper and felt it needed to be shared.  Let's hope with the wide exposure available through the internet Jack will be reunited with his owner! 

" After several years in New York City, Jack The Cat was bound for a new life in California with his brother Barry.  That is, until his adventure took a wild turn which has sparked a social network lashing against American Airlines.  On Thursday, Jack and Barry were kenneled and passed over to baggage handlers on Flight 177 from Kennedy Airport.  After clearing security,  their owner, who was moving out west after 22 years in the Big Apple to start a new job, received a call from an airline employee who told her Jack was lost in the inbound baggage claim area.  Eventually their owner boarded a later flight with Barry after an hour-long search came up empty.  She was assured that she’d get a phone call as soon as Jack was found."

Repost from the FaceBook page of Jack the Cat:

"September 21 marked 4 weeks of Jack being separated from Karen and Barry. PLEASE SHARE Jack's story with all your contacts on fb, and on any and all pet-friendly pages. Thanks to all for their support and concern!!"

JACK The CAT MISSING AT JFK AIRPORT UPDATE

I am reposting a post from Jack The Cat's FaceBook page that needs to be seen by all.  Sadly the search effort to find Jack on Saturday did not have the ending that was hoped for but this interesting twist.  Animal cruelty needs to be stopped and stopped now!  Please, if you live in New York or traveling through, anywhere near Kennedy Airport, keep your eyes open -- maybe you will be the one who spots Jack.

From Jack's Page:  "And another interesting bit from Saturday - an abandoned cat was rescued! Two of our volunteers ran across a box that was taped shut in a field... when they poked it, they realized there was something alive... and when they opened it, it was a kitty!! Probably about 9 months old!! One of the volunteers took it home to be vetted and will adopt him or her. Jack saved a life!!"

How EVERYONE Can Help

Jack DESPERATELY NEEDs people to fan out through the unrestricted areas of the JFK airport property and surrounding areas/neighborhoods to notify EVERYONE they see that he is lost. This can be done by anyone that is available at anytime, day or night since there are different shifts that come in and out of the airport all day and all night, 7 days a week.   Jack’s post cards are available at the Bobbi & The Strays Vetport facility – Bldg. 189 Cargo area C at JFK.

 

 

JACK The CAT MISSING AT JFK AIRPORT UPDATE

Great news for those following the story of Jack the Cat.  Word on Jack's FaceBook page is that Jack was spotted by a Kennedy Airport employee and volunteers are busy searching.  If you live in the vicinity of Kennedy Airport or planning a trip, please keep your eyes open.  Jack somehow got out of his carrier while waiting in the baggage area to board an American Airlines flight.  We can only hope that he is reunited with his owner and in these crazy times, we have a happy ending.

JACK The CAT MISSING AT JFK AIRPORT UPDATE

As of Tuesday, September 6th, I am sad to report that Jack is still missing.  I read the updates and apparently there is a search going on at Kennedy airport tonight.  Losing a pet is a horrible pain to endure and I hope that someone finds Jack and reunites him with his owner.  This is a sad story, and again, I have to say shame on the airlines for not having a secure system for people who travel with pets and cannot take them into the cabin with them.  It is not pleasant for the owner or the pet.  I traveled with my pets many years ago and would never do it again.  When I did this, it was way before 9/11 and the security measures that are taken now.  I was able to stay with my pets until they were boarded and it was still a stressful experience.  I can only imagine what the boarding process is like now since security is so much tighter all over the US.  Please, anyone living or working in and around the Kennedy Airport area, take a moment and look around -- maybe someone will get lucky and spot Jack.

Sadly, as of today September 3rd, Jack The Cat is still missing -- last seen in his crate at the American Airlines baggage area at JFK Airport.  American Airlines remains under fire from animal lovers as animal activists and concerned animal lovers continue to search for Jack, who was lost shortly before he was to board a flight from New York City to San Francisco on August 25 with his owner.
