Description

Tuxedo short hair, he is skittish but friendly with people. Food motivated, has been indoor/outdoor before but usually came in every day. Very sweet and likes food and attention. Zen is almost all black on the top of his body including a completely black tail and almost completely white on his bottom half including his stomach.

Message from Owner

Please help us find Zen! He is a 7-year-old, domestic short hair, male. Zen is fixed, microchipped and has all of his vaccinations. He has been missing since late May 9th; he got scared and ran out the door. Ruffin is the last area he was seen but that area is new to him as we were preparing for a move and trying to get him used to the hse. Zen loves attention and to be pet, may seem skittish at first but responds to happy tone of his name and a few tongue clicks to let him know it's safe to approach. I have so many pictures over the years if someone is not sure if it's him. He is mostly black on top with a solid black tail and mostly white on his bottom half including his stomach, loves food. Please help us to bring him home, he is such a sweet boy. Thank you

BRING A LOST CAT HOME: Saw this in a magazine at the vet's office. Apparently cats can smell up to a mile away. The advice for bringing a lost kitty home was this: Put her used litter box under your porch or near your door. Make a trail of used litter from the street to the box. I turned on my porch light, too. Our cat had gotten outside and was gone for 8 days. I made the litter trail, put a box of used litter under the steps, and prayed that she'd catch the scent. 20 minutes later my husband looked out the kitchen door and she was waiting on the mat to come in. TWENTY minutes. I'm sure we got exceptionally quick results, but it must work for a lot of people. It was like a miracle to see her in front of the door. I hope you find your furbaby. I realize you may have cleaned the box, but if any other cats have used it, yours will still recognize the scent. At least that's what happened for us.
