Unfortunately no. A lady who lives a few blocks from me took a photo that looked very much like him but after close scrutiny I noticed some tell-tale differences.

If anyone see's him, please do not feed. I had a lady who lives a few blocks from me, while walking a dog claim she had seen him many times over the last several months and had been putting out food for him and other cats. Not all of these cats are wild or neglected. This cat was well loved and cared for since I found him abandoned in a shed on my property at about 4 weeks old. I do not know for certain that it was my cat she was feeding because there are other cats in the area with somewhat similar markings which would be difficult to discern with absolute certainty from the image I provided. I believe this cat would return home as he always did before if he were able to. I have been researching this exhaustively and have narrowed down the most likely scenarios as follows: 1) "Adopted" by someone who decided he should be their cat now, without bothering to find the rightful owner, telling themselves the cat likes them and wants to be with them. Keeping him indoors permanently so he can never get away, which he would try to do because he likes to explore, which is a deeply ingrained cat instinct. 2) Physically harmed or ed by a person who hates cats. Sad but true, these people are out there. 3) Trapped inside someone's shed or what have you. While this is a possibility, I am certain he would howl loudly if he were locked in this way and likely be discovered quickly. He would also bolt out if a door was opened faster than you could blink. He is not a timid cat that would shy away in retreat or hide out silently for very long IMO. Thanks for any snapshots or information of any kind concerning this beloved pet.

I see this cat all the time in Valley View off Merritt Rd. How long has he been missing? I just watched him and another cat mating in my neighbor’s yard last week. I assume he is an indoor/outdoor cat and we live by each other
