Description

STILL MISSING Beloved Cat Toothless: We lost our beloved cat Toothless (He does have teeth). On a ride back from the vet he stepped on the window button and it automatically rolled down. Startled, he jumped out of the car onto Interstate 8 West at Lake Murray and 70th off ramp. I know he made it to the bushes. We have put out traps, trail cameras,food & no luck finding him. We have spent the last 3 nights under the freeway overpass. We think he has moved toward the streets on the North side of the freeway. Reward!

Startled, he jumped out of the car onto Interstate 8 West at Lake Murray and 70th off ramp. I know he made it to the bushes. We have put out traps, trail cameras, clothing ,food and we still can’t find him. We are heart broken and have spent the last 3 nights under the freeway overpass hoping he would come to us at night when it is quieter. The CHP has requested we leave the area. We think he has mived toward to s on the North side of the freeway. If you see him please call!

o! I don't know if you saw this post, but someone posted on nextdoor that they saw a black cat with a nametag that says Toothless: https://www.pawboost.com/landing/pet/s-Zz09w8uIAVVi5DiGhRgaCQHmoYXjJp/found-stray-72770418-la-mesa-ca-91942?utm_source=nextdoor&utm_campaign=nd_post_link

Kathleen OrsRivs OMG, hope he’s found. Please continue going to the location around dusk and calling his name. I’ve been helping neighbors with their loss cats and many have come back and told me that after days being lost they, walked up and down the street, calling their cats name, and the cat meowed from behind a bush-as if to say help I’m here. I would not say this if it wasn’t true. My niece called out her cats name who got out when her little girl opened the door for him, and was gone for 3 days. I told her go out in the evening call his name, she was so distraught she couldn’t sleep and at midnight, she went out and called his name, and he let out a little meow from a neighbor’s backyard. She got Shadow back! 🐾💙🐾 Ok please post update you have a lot of people, emotionally invested in him. 😢
