We found Ebbi!
My husband, Fang, went for his late night jog just now. On his way back, he came by the back of our HDB block. He saw a cat, crouching near the door of the service chute. The chute was on the ground floor, directly below our window. It was too dark to clearly. But he thought the cat looked like Ebbi. He went nearer for a closer look but the cat darted into the service chute.
Fang came back home and told me he thought he saw Ebbi. We grabbed a torch-light and rushed down. Fang opened the door of the service chute wide but there was no sign of the cat. I took the light from Fang and went in. It didn't smell too nice in there and the pipes were covered with cobweb. And right there in a corner was Ebbi! We found her at last!

From the looks of it, she has been hiding there all this while.
She didn’t seem to recognize me at first and struggled when I grabbed hold of her. I dared not put her down in case she dash away.
She looks dehydrated and she was definitely very hungry. Other than that, she doesn't have any visible injury from the fall. But I’ll have to bring her to the vet for a check-up. She’s very very dirty. Her white coat is now grayish. It’s going to take me a while to clean her up since she’s so terrified of baths. She went sniffing round the kitchen for a while and then finally allowed me to stroke her.
Missing for 13 days! I thought I was never going to see her again! She’s now purring away in the kitchen. Welcome home, Ebbi.
