Updated: Missing Cat Found Deceased; Carjacking Did Not Happen
September 20, 2022
Update: We are told by the Friends of the Escambia County Animal Shelter that Slinky the cat has been found deceased, and there was never a carjacking as first reported by the group.
Monday night, the Friends group told us that foster kitty “Slinky” was believed to be inside a vehicle carjacked Sunday night at a convenience store at Nine Mile Road at Pine Forest Road.
Tuesday afternoon, Friends of the Escambia County Animal Shelter said the individual was not carjacked but appears to have suffered a medical emergency. Friends President Kim Rainer said the vehicle was located Tuesday across the intersection in the Publix parking lot with Slinky deceased inside.
“Slinky came in as a stray in late July. She was shy and a little fearful, so the shelter put her with an experienced foster to help her come out of her shell,” Rainer told NorthEscambia.com.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday afternoon that it did not appear that they responded to a carjacking in the area on Sunday and are not investigating. An Escambia County spokesperson was researching the incident. Check back for further updates.

This is such a sad story, RIP Slinky
I just want to say to the foster volunteer how I am praying for you. So sorry that this happened and hope you are well. Thank you for taking care of the MANY wonderful animals that find themselves hungry, scared, and homeless. I see such an abundant need all over the city and county. Thank you to ALL the animal rescues and volunteers! You are amazing individuals and so kind.
