If you’ve seen this cat, her owners are desperately looking for her since the October 20th fire on 824 Hyde where they lived. Her name is Phoebe, she is about 10 lbs and will turn 7 on November 3. If you’ve seen her at any point since the fire or have any information, please contact her owner Stephanie at 415-806-5419 or the Nob Hill Cat Clinic who was her vet (she has a chip).
Here’s the comment that owner Stephanie left a few days ago on the post about the fire:
I was a resident of 824 Hyde for the past 21 years and lived in the studio. I have lost my precious cat, Phoebe. My boyfriend and I do not know if she made it out alive or not. We are asking all the neighbors in the area to keep your eyes out for a beautiful fluffy gray and white adult cat with a little black beauty mark on her nose. I lost all my photos but will try to find a way to post a picture. She does have a chip and if you think you have her or have seen her I beg you to contact Animal Control or Nob Hill Cat Clinic.
We were scheduled to pack the moving truck on Saturday, October 23 and drive cross country to Florida beginning on Monday.We are devastated that she is not with us.
And here’s what Stephanie wrote when she emailed us Phoebe’s picture to help find her:
She is shy but loves chicken treats. Thank you for your help. My boyfriend is so depressed without her. He has epilepsy and she would always lay on his chest after a seizure. She is more than a cat! I have limited internet access (I’m a Gelato on Sutter Street sending this).
We are hoping to get access to an apartment that might have garden access so we can see in the back. We pray she got out. It’s the not knowing that is killing me. We are staying on Pine Street. Our friend had an empty apartment and we are staying there until we fly to Florida.

I used to live at 838 Hyde and used to see kitties in the garden area in the back yard. I would go to the medical building on the corner of Bush and Hyde and see if they’ll let you out in their courtyard which shares a fence.
Hopefully she is there! I know one of the residents of 838 used to feed cats in the backyard.
That’s a good idea, Princess.
We’ve been keeping our eye out for Phoebe.
Evidently she has been spotted inside the block, but Animal Control wasn’t able to find her. Locals, please keep your eye out for her.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the news. I understand from my local source that Phoebe may have been spotted in the rear garden of 824 Hyde Street. Everyone please keep your eyes open especially if you have a view of the garden. It would be a wonderful gift to have her returned to us after living a month of hell. We thank everyone for all the good wishes and prayers.

[...] I saw this on Sutter Street. It’s a much more reasonable thing than what can otherwise happen in a fire. I just can’t believe that there are three, count ‘em three cats in this place! [...]
Hi Hyde neighbors and old friends,
Please keep looking for Phoebe. We are simply heartbroken not to have her with us. We had hopes a few weeks ago but no more sightings. She is very special to us but especially to my boyfriend, Ayoub. He has epilepsy and she became a service animal to him. A great comfort after seizures. Our grief over her is beyond words. A heartfelt thanks to all the folks at Animal Care and Control for their attempts at retrieving her for us. I’m not giving up hope. If you have seen her please contact Home Again 1-888-466-3242. Microchip # 46686B2F20. Contact us at 407-373-3131.

Hi Hyde Street Friends and Neighbors,
We continue to pray to be reunited with our beloved cat, Phoebe. I’m praying for a miracle that she is still alive and safe. If you have seen her or have her please contact us at 407-373-3131. She has a microchip and is very special to my boyfriend who has epilepsy. She was always a great comfort to him after a seizure. Please keep your eyes and hearts open. The fire at 824 Hyde destroyed our lives and we think of her everyday. Thank you.
Stephanie
