Blackberry is Missing in Stamford, CT

Description

Blueberry is a very skittish indoor/outdoor male cat who has been missing for an extended period of time. He may look thinner than usual and could possibly have healing scratches, singed whiskers, or a limp from being outside for so long. Any past injuries or limps were always treated appropriately. He has puma-like facial features, a lean/muscular build,tered white hairs on his chest and stomach, and a small oval-shaped lump under the skin on his tummy. He does not meow normally and instead makes a quieter/strange sounding call that doesn’t sound like a typical cat meow. He is not neutered, microchipped, or wearing a collar. I am actively trying to transition the cats to staying indoors full-time, and all vet care/appointments are handled and paid for by me directly. If found, please do not chase him as he is nervous around strangers. Please contact me with any sightings or photos, even if you are unsure. For context: I live with a family of 4 that has an outdoor cat only mindset. They oppose keeping the cats inside for long periods of time especially at night and will let the cat out behind my back when I am not there to stop them or soothe the cat into keeping quiet. They were stray kittens when we found them and got used to going outside after enough of them letting them out despite my warnings. As of recently the ability to financially fund and manage transportation has become available for me regarding further medical care that a regular vet can provide. Thank you.

Message from Owner

Found as a kitten under my porch, been raising him for two years. He has a tendency to do silly things and worry me to death but he’s just as big of a baby to me as he was when he fit in both of my hands. Never learned how to properly meow correctly, but has screamed loud enough to wake me up in the middle of the night or when it was time for his wet food of the day.
