Message from Owner

LAKE RONKONKOMA neighbors: Our dear cat is lost, south of Portion Road/west of Patchogue-Holbrook Road. Winchester is a mostly black adult 11 pound cat with white chest, paws, and belly. He escaped through our patio door this AM. He was an outdoor stray we rescued in late March. He is now neutered/ear-tipped/shaved (due to severe matting). We nursed him back to health, and he is very loved and bonded with us and our other indoor cats. We are terrified he may get injured or worse. Chess suffered maltreatment in the past and is likely in survival mode. Do not chase. Do not call his name. Contact us with location where you sight him. Chess is scheduled for dental surgery July 1st and he has a chronic autoimmune condition that needs lifelong monitoring/treatment. We need to get him back indoors to safety! Thank you for keeping an eye out for this sweet, frightened cat and contacting us with location seen. Thank you for caring and sharing locally.

Marcia OConnor Thank you. We talked to neighbors along our street and Duncan this afternoon. I handed out and posted flyers on these two streets. Chess has been neutered since March 27th. Do you feel I should canvass further out than a few blocks from our home?

They usually don’t venture far. It’s probably scared & hiding near by in bushes or an open garage. Most kitties will stay put in their safe hiding spot. ( if they’re not fixed they can wonder further, depends on circumstances) Ask neighbors to check their sheds, decks, garages. They usually venture out at night after 24-48hrs when they start getting hungry. The “witching” hour when they come out is 3am. If you see your pet, don’t try to grab it, it’s still on survival mode and will run. Just sit down maybe with some treats and let your pet come to you. (Remember, never put the litterbox outside. Other cats will mark it & scare your cat away. Just in case, also set some humane traps near by, hide them in the bushes where your pet might hide. Good luck & don’t lose hope. Pray to St Anthony, he hasn’t let me down. 🙏🏻🐾
