I received a note this morning alerting me to a cat that was sadly found deceased.
I have some sad news to report. I thought I would inform you that this morning as I was driving in on the 20 East on the exit St-Jacques/Angrignon that there was a dead cat. The cat was a charcoal grey color. It was either very young or female because it was quite small. I thought maybe if someone had lost this cat and would like some closure (or to at least give it a proper burial) that I would inform you.
I’m sorry that someone might be hurt by this news, but still hope this cat was being looked for, and wasn’t abandoned…
Thank you or what you did. It’s a hard story but at least somebody gave him a decent end.
Thanks
An update on this roadside cat. I too drove past it every single day this week (it had been there since Monday, at least). This morning, the cat was still there. Frankly, I found it a little bit absurd that a dead animal could lie on the shoulder of the road for nearly 5 days without anyone from Transport Quebec or the city of Montreal taking action. The cat was in a pretty advanced state of decomposition, but it was lean, dark grey, and had no collar. At any rate, I returned after work and removed the cat myself and buried it in the woods near my house.
That was really thoughtful of you to look after it in the end. Thanks for the update too, I feel a bit better knowing it had been shown some decency.
My missing cat isn’t really charcoal but she is grey. I’m not sure if you were able to get a good look at the deceased cat but if you think that it resembles my cat:

please let me know.
Thank you.
Ashley, I’m so sorry Ellie is still missing, but I’m sure this couldn’t be yours by the sounds of it.
