Hi Weezerweeks:
That is heartbreaking when they go missing. So sorry for you.
When I boarded my horses I was of course known as the cat lady to all the kids. lol As with most barns people would dump strays there all the time. I always took them to the Vet and fed them. I found homes for quite a few, but if they were to live at the barn then someone had to take care of them. That was the only deal the barn manager would go for, he didn’t want to have anything to do with them. Some went missing over the years and I would always go scouting on my horses, but I never found them. 🙁
A few months ago about ten huge crows had a bunny cornered in one of my paddocks. They were trying their best to get her. I got out there just in time to shoo them away. Poor bunny also had a nest near by with babies to take care of. I have also saved some squirrels from hawks too. They love to perch on my fence and wait for them to come out foraging. I know it’s part of nature, just not on my watch!
