Description

Neutered and microchipped male Siamese cat with black face, white chin, white paws, white chest and belly, and black tail. Is still missing as of December 2025. I can provide more photos and videos of him on request. $100 Reward. We lost another cat, Sky, a year later and a coyote was seen the next morning. There is a high likelihood Vito was eaten by a coyote. If you live nearby, please consider keeping small pets and children indoors at night. We have been informed that multiple people have had encounters with a coyote or coyotes who are highly resistant to hazing, even with large dogs present, around this section of Permanente creek. A very large number of pets have been going missing nearby, with several people finding the remains of dead pets.

Message from Owner

Vito has been missing since April 12th. He is very cuddly and gregarious at and loves spending time with us and our two other cats. We are grieving the loss of several other members of our family, both humans and pets, and are worried sick about Vito. If you spot him or have him with you, please call or.

Lost Cats‼️ Indoor only cats and limited outdoor access cats never go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and pillow cases outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in. DO NOT leave food or litter box outside, it can attract predators and aggressive Tom cats. Because indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of her eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum theyqq snap out of it but this is a dangerous time because they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for her as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. a lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap.
