Description

Ginger/orange tabby with purple flea collar. Microchip says Sparkles but answers to Nero. Golden eyes. Super friendly. Has black freckles around mouth and nose.

Message from Owner

Nero is a sweet baby who refuses to be an indoor only cat. Sometimes he loses his sense of smell and can’t find his way . We’re worried he’s been catnapped or become coyote lunch and we’re just trying to find out what happened to him. Neighbors on Nextdoor said they saw him as recently as the last week of April but no one has responded anything solid.

General Information: Set up a scent station. Hang clothes with your scent on it (Worn clothing from owner) high up outside so the familiar scent can travel and guide the cat back home. Ask your neighbors to check their yard/could be accidently stuck in their garage or shed. (If applicable) Check doorbell or home camera - or ask neighbors to check their camera. Post Fliers with a picture of the cat and your contact information in the area the cat went missing. Not everyone is on Social Media and posters have worked in that if spotted a location can be provided. If a cat is scared they make themselves safe by finding a good hiding spot and often times hide in silence. Look in bushes - bring a flashlight and look for shining eyes. Best time to find your cat is in the early morning hours when the noise level is low and they feel safe. Leave an access point open for the cat to return. This is important if they do come back in the middle of the night. Prayers your cat returns/ or is found safely. Beware of scammers.

Samantha Basquez I really don't care about your excuses. I was just trying to help you with some tips to find. But, you might want to reconsider owning pet if you cannot keep inside

Laura Nelson the main issue is that many many neighbors reported him visiting them on and around our block but NO ONE will respond to me about how recently they’ve seen him, like they’re punishing me for not forcing him to be an indoor only cat. I live with people who have slow reflexes and several dogs that go outside multiple times a day, as well as a 4 year old who won’t stop opening the door. There is no way to force this cat to stay in the house. And the last place anyone confirmed seeing him was in a field next to a park called Coyote Gulch

Please go out at night after traffic noise has down, shine flash light under bushes and things cat can hide under and also in trees. Check out any green spots looking back at you. Call cat and wait for a meow back. CRITICAL INCASE CAT IS TRAPPED SOMEWHERE; start from where cat went missing and workout for a radius of 2 miles, knock on doors and ask in person if they will check sheds, garages, window wells, and other outside buildings for cat. ALSO, put cats bed or an old pair of your tennis shoes to help cat know where your porch is. NOT, a litter box that will attract other animals that may keep your cat away. Scared cats usually don't travel far from where they go missing and will wait for YOU to come find them. Also stop by local shelters and rescues everyother day to see if cat has been. turned in. GOOD LUCK
