New sighting at Van Ness and 44th in AU Park

This is as directly reported:

I saw Gigi at 4400 Van Ness St tonight (this morning at 1:30)! She was running down Van Ness St toward Mass Ave. I pulled over, but before I was out of the car she slipped under the chain link fence to the yard of 4400 Van Ness. I considered climbing over, but it's a huge back yard and I couldn't see her anywhere and I'm not sure that its fully fenced and she was actually confined.

In the moment that I saw her -- she looked fine.

I'll stop at that yard and slip a can of cat food under the fence to establish a feeding station tomorrow morning.

Nancy, you should see if you can make contact with the people who live at 4400 Van Ness to see if they will cooperate -- let us put out a feeding station, call if they see her, NOT CHASE her, POSSIBLY let us place a trap there if there are additional sightings or Sam from PureGold finds evidence that she is hanging out there, etc.

There were several Gigi flyers on my stairs when I got home tonight (great work!) so I'll drop one at their front door as well.

This is a quiet neighborhood -- not a lot of traffic. And it may be an enclosed back yard with limited points where she can enter and exit, so this could be very good news.

On a side note, I have NEVER driven home this way. I was on my way home and testing out an alternative route to work for tomorrow to avoid snow constricted Nebraska Ave. It is also incredibly rare that I'm driving home at this hour. It is nothing short of a miracle that I happened upon her. My fingers are crossed that this is just the first inexplicable miracle in the Gigi search!

WHEN I SAW HER AT 44TH AND HARRISON I CALLED "PUPPY PUPPY" AND SHE STOPPED, TURNED AND HEADED TOWARDS ME - THEN MY DOG BARKED AND SHE TURNED AND RAN OFF TOWARDS wISCONSIN

now that i have read how frightened she is it is interesting that she responded at all...
