Translation needed urgently please

Postby Marina » Sun May 26, 2013 4:36 pm

Please can someone translate the following text. I can have a good go, but would like to get it right.

I've removed contact details as I don't want to post them in a public forum, but if you are in the Iznate are, please keep a look out for her.

Missing Cat

If you see Lucky please call Richard, or Marina or email
We are trying to give Lucky a new home but she has taken fright and run away. She is very timid, scared of people and other animals and doesn’t know the area. Please let us know if you see her as she will be hungry and frightened.

A description of the cat would help, has it a collar/name tag?

Yes, sorry. It is a smallish, pretty cat, black and white. Black mask over her eyes, patch under the chin and a black patch on each knee. She can be seen on this Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/axarquianimalrescue?fref=ts

White chest and tummy and black on her back. She has no collar or chip unfortunately.

I would like to get some posters up around the area, so if anyone could help with the translation I would be very grateful.

This is what I would write :

Hemos perdido a nuestra gatita. Se llama Lucky. Si usted la encuentra o la ve por la calle, por favor llame a Richard o a Marina, o mande un correo electrónico a... Ella tiene el pecho y el vientre blanco y es negro en la espalda. Por desgracia no tiene collar o chip.
La gatita es miedosa y ha escapado. Es muy tímida y no se fía de la gente u otros animales, además no conoce la zona. Por favor, contacte con nosotros si ve algún gato que se le parezca, ahora mismo estará hambrienta y asustada, Mil gracias.
No soporto ver la casa sucia, ahora mismo me levanto y apago la luz.

Unfortunately a lot of black and white cats in Iznate, Marina.
In the village or in the campo?

Thank you Julie.

She went missing in the campo at La Noria. I've put posters up on the nearest bins and at the venta nearby.She has very distinctive markings so would be quite easy to spot.

Unfortunately as she is so timid, I think she'll stay well away from people. I'm guessing she'll be able to hunt for food, but when the weather warms up she may struggle to find water.

I'm putting out food for her but I'm pretty sure I'm just feeding the neighbour's dogs.

Any update on Lucky, Marina?
I'm in Iznate for 2 weeks from Saturday and will keep my eyes open.

Thank you Gruff.

I'm afraid I've not heard anything at all. Sadly I am going to have to stop leaving food out as when I got home today her dish was swarming with ants. :(

Yes, the lady who feeds our cats when we aren't there was saying they are a real problem.
