Message from Owner

I have been so hopeful that my boy Palo will show back up. I found him as a stray back in 2022 at my mom’s hse. He was an outdoor barn kitty that lived on a massive amount of land for years - he knows the wildlife and being outdoors. We sold my mom’s hse in April of 2025. I then moved to Las Vegas and he came along with. I moved back to CA in October of 2025 due to being pregnant and wanting to be closer to family. He and his sister were acclimated correctly and once again became outdoor kitties. I gave birth in early December and unfortunately had several complications that led me back in the hosp. Since then, I have been in and out of the hosp more than a handful of times. My boyfriend would feed them twice a day as always, but the schedule was a little off - not what they were used to. There was also quite a bit of construction going on. Both kitties started to slowly show up less and less. I posted on Nextdoor several times and actually had both of them come back due to great neighbors. I tried to re-acclimate them, but with all the construction and schedule change - they soon were off again. My girl kitty adopted herself a new family (my wonderful neighbors). They came to talk to me about it - she gets to go inside - which unfortunately we cannot do. Having a newborn and being that I was back and forth to the hosp, we were okay with it. I was just happy to see her have a loving and caring home, which she definitely does. Our boy Palo on the other hand did not stay as close as she did. He liked to take off farther from the hse and explore. I’ve posted on Nextdoor several times, and have done all the things to look for him when I have not been in the hosp(unfortunately have still been back and forth). We’ve put out his food, litter, driven around looking in all the spots we think he may be, gone to the shelter several times and have been keeping an eye out for him. I know coyotes are ruthless here, but we’re hoping his knowledge of being a tough barn kitty have helped him. We want our boy home, or to even know where he is and that he is safe. I look for him daily when I am home and able to and think about him daily. I miss and love him so much. Any help is appreciated. I do apologize for the long story, we just really miss our y boy - Thank you so much.
