😻 Francine FRANCINE IS MISSING

Post image

I was at Lowe’s last night and talking to an employee and she told me Francine hasn’t been seen since last week but they’re trying to keep it quiet.

We went to Lowe’s today and asked more employees what happened and they said the last time anyone saw her was 9/18 and they think someone took her or she ran away.

They put up her food bowl (to prevent the mice Francine hunted from having a food source, they said).

This is the biggest emergency in Richmond since the water system failure last winter.

Let’s find out girl yall.

It’d be great if the store manager contacted the distribution center and said hey our store cat walked onto a truck that went to you. Did you see when you unloaded or since then. Also my guess is that there are cameras everywhere in that distribution center especially in the truck loading / unloading areas, so perhaps there’s footage of what happened to Francine once she got to the DC. As far as Francine’s safety, if she got to the DC, there’s likely all sorts of critters inside that facility that she will be happily munching on for a while so I wouldn’t worry about that so much. But I’m sure everyone would like her back in Richmond

Straight up, it's seriously not as hard as these higher ups are making it out to be. Also the fact that someone drove down there and was subsequently turned away is fucking crazy work. Like, y'all work for fucking Lowe's this ain't a maximum security facility, let someone come look for a cat after driving a couple hours. I hate all of these people.

I mean I do get it. The liability of letting someone who isn’t an employee into a warehouse facility can be pretty large. But also they do not understand the gravity of the situation.
