Beacon Hill Blog

Lost: Iguana. Green. Five feet long.

Yes, you read that headline correctly. A five-foot-long iguana is apparently lost somewhere on North Beacon Hill.

Found today on craigslist.org:

My iguana headed out Saturday morning, Oct 17th. He cannot survive long in this weather. He was last seen near the I-90 trail at Atlantic & 17th AVE S, and may have wandered down towards 18th, up towards 23rd, or even climbed over the wall towards I-90. If you have seen him, please email me. If you live in the area or know people in the area, especially anyone who might have been driving Saturday morning, or running or biking on the I-90 trail, please let them know about this search.

Thank you,
Pete

Lost kitty: Nauney absconds again

You may recall when Nauney went missing last month. After returning home, she was fitted with a collar. A little while later, the collar went missing. A couple of days after that, Nauney did. There’s concern she may have gotten accidentally locked up in a shed or house under renovation nearby.

She was last seen Sunday, October 4th, on the corner of 13th and Hill Street. She is a very friendly gray tabby with green/yellow colored eyes and is a loud talker.

Please call Rosie at 701-610-4555 or Seth at 206-914-0557 with any info.

Have you seen Gracie?

Neighbor Dorcas writes:

My indoor cat has escaped in the neighborhood around MacPherson’s Market on Columbian on Wednesday night. She is a black cat, big and fat. She doesn’t wear a collar — she always would take it off — but she is micro chipped.

I don’t have a picture of her on my computer — but she is just a regular, hefty black cat… She is also very loved and missed. She’s been part of my family for 8 years and she’s never been outside before except for trips to the vet.

If someone finds her, her name is Gracie. Please contain her if possible and call me: 206-419-8986.

Cat found attacked by wild animal

A sad message came to us on Sunday:

Hi Wendi & Jason,
We live at 20th and Lander and found an attacked blackish brown cat this morning.  We think it was killed by a wild animal last night sometime but didn’t hear anything.  We don’t recognize as one of the regular cats around and it doesn’t have any tags but looks too well groomed to be feral. We’ve already called Animal Control and they said they’ll be up to remove the body. We have a picture of the face (not too gruesome, but not postable either).  We can e-mail it to anyone who thinks that it might be theirs.
Thank you,
Patrick & Leigh

You can reach Patrick at pnelson101@gmail.com.

There are quite a few wild animals in and around the Hill, including some coyotes. We hope your pets are safe and sound.

Lost dogs, found cat, and a loud rooster (Updated)

We hope all of your pets are at home, happy and healthy after last night’s fireworks. Unfortunately, we’ve gotten a lot of reports of pets going walkabout lately, even before the July 4th noise.

This message was posted yesterday on the Georgetown neighborhood mailing list by seaofcarnage@yahoo.com:

Friday night July 3, a very well mannered and nice yellow dog appeared at
the 9 lb Hammer. He is definitely not a stray. No collar or tags were found,
I have taken him into my care until his owner is found. If you know of
anyone that lost a dog last night, he is at my home on Warsaw. I will
contact the shelter on Sunday to see if he has a chip and to report him,
however I will not be handing over custody of him to the shelter. Please let
me know if you know where this dog belongs, I believe he came down from
Beacon Hill.

Henry, a neighbor at 19th Avenue South and South Lander, found an adorable little black kitty in his yard on July 4. The cat has a pink collar and bell, but no tags. Is she yours? Contact Henry at hlouie1979@msn.com.

On Friday evening, a four-year-old brindle lab/pit mix dog, Bruno, was lost from the area of 19th Avenue South and South College Street. He’s 85-90 pounds, and has a black collar with ID tags. If you find him, please call 253-218-9635 or 253-332-6944.

One other possible pet was reported to be making its own noise — a rooster. Roosters are, of course, illegal in the city of Seattle (you can have three hens, though!). Rumor has it that at least one rooster is running wild in North Beacon, however, so the one that’s been cock-a-doodle-dooing this week near the area of 15th Avenue South and South College Street may be the that one.

Update, July 6: We are told that the rooster near 15th and College really does belong to someone (see the comments below) and has been living there for some time now. Also, we were apparently misinformed. Roosters are not illegal in Seattle. But neighbors can make noise complaints to Animal Control at 206-386-7387.

Chesnut has been found

(Editors’ note, May 21: Chesnut has now been found. Thanks for your help, everyone!)

Saber Head writes, looking for a lost cat:

Hi there-

I lost my cat last night on Saturday, May 9th on 12th and Atlantic. He is a male domestic silver tabby and goes by the name Chesnut. When called he does come to the sound of his name. His stripes are very faint, and barely visible, he has lighter coloring on his chin and has white lines around his eyes (looks like white eyeliner). He is quite friendly, but I dont know what his behaviour might be outside. He likes shrubs and bushes, if you happen to see this cat around, please call us! He is an indoor cat and has been outside once or twice. Please let us know if you see him. I am so worried about him!

Last seen: May 9th, 10 PM
Name:Chesnut
Type: Silver tabby-Faint stripes-lighter color around mouth and underbelly

Lost black and white cat near 17th and Stevens

Kristen writes:

Greetings Neighbors!

This morning about 11:15, it seems our black and white tuxedo cat made a run for it. The cat disappeared from the corner of 17th and Stevens St.

The kitty’s name is Ivy. She is a VERY LARGE (overweight) tuxedo (black and white) cat. Ivy is an indoor cat. She’s probably out there and scared silly.

She is friendly but shy, but will be easy to catch because she sort of waddles. She looks like she is wearing a black tuxedo jacket that doesn’t close in the front. She has a round face and very large round gold eyes.

Thanks for keeping your eyes open for her–

Kristen Turner

If anyone sees her, please contact us here at the Blog and we will forward your message to Kristen. Thanks.

Lost a cockatiel?

Jeffrey Cornish writes:

“At approximately 1500 hrs on Saturday, I (Jeffrey D. Cornish) while on patrol around the Amazon.com building observed a yellow cockatiel on the sidewalk beside one of the concrete columns on 12th Ave in front of Quarters #10 at the intersection of 12th Ave and Judkins. I called Animal Control and Officer Matthew Belue responded and picked up the bird.

“If you need the incident # or the report you can call Wright Runstad & Company Security and we can furnish this information. The bird was transported to the animal shelter at approximately 1525.”

You can reach Wright Runstad & Company Security at 206-255-3974.

Kitten found near 13th & Shelton

Kathy wrote to alert us of a kitten found near 13th Ave S and S Shelton earlier this evening. He’s described as a young, several-month-old black and brown male tabby. He’s healthy looking and appears well-cared-for, and so probably hasn’t been lost for very long.

She took some photos (click for larger versions):

He’ll likely be taken to the shelter to be examined for an identifying microchip tomorrow, but if you can help determine who this kitten belongs to, please mail us and we’ll put you in contact with Kathy to get this kitty home.

Is this your dog?

Matt wrote in a post on the mailing list:

“I’ve seen this female dog wandering around 13th avenue south between Plum and Holgate for the past few days. She runs away when approached and appears to be pregnant. She has a black collar so I’m assuming she is someones lost pet.”
