MESSAGE FROM OWNER

My cat Matteo, age 13, is missing from Huron St and Sawyer. He's neutered, but not chipped. He's a medium sized gray tabby short hair, with black stripes and pale green eyes. On his left ear, there's a distinctive notch from an old injury. As you can see, he's a handsome guy but definitely has Resting Gromps Face. With my husband and I, Matteo is a devoted, affectionate companion who we have raised from a kitten, but with anyone else he ranges from disinterested/not friendly to frankly hostile: he would paw tap, swipe or lightly bite a stranger who might try to pet him. (You know how cats grab your hand with their paws, bare their teeth and hold their teeth against your skin without breaking the skin, just to show you they can? That's Matteo's signature move.) I don't believe he'd allow himself to be taken inside by a stranger unless he was hurt, and even then, I think he'd put up a fight. It feels so very sad to not be fighting my boy for pillow space. Please feel free to reach out if anyone has information, thanks.

Pet finders can help. Humane traps can help. Look at night. Flyers can help. Check with CACC, rescues and vets. Hope you find him soon.

Check Chicago animal care and control online and in person check animal welfare league both locations and/or check your local police department and animal shelters and post lots of signs check pet and pet supply stores and vets and groomers pass out flyers to your neighbors and mail carrier and local businesses and garbage men check Craigslist lost and found and for sale ask your neighbors to check their garages bats and sheds and security cameras check under bushes and porches and stairways in window wells under cars behind buildings near garbage cans and dumpsters etc also check forest preserves and parks and animal shelters in Cicero oak park Evanston and Skokie search everywhere you can think of put out food and bedding with your scent to attract him or her notify the local police stations also post on neighborhood apps put a basket of dirty clothes in the dryer then put it outside you door he might follow the scent
