Jasmine is Missing in Santa Cruz, CA

Description

Tuxedo cat, black on top with white under chin and on chest and 4 white paws (mittens not socks). White whiskers. Had a healing cut on right cheek (when looking at her your left). When she disappeared she had a balding ring on neck (under some fur) from being so good at wearing her collar so I had taken off and she snuck out without it on.

Message from Owner

Jasmine is a very talkative small sweet senior cat. She was raised In and out of doors. As a senior cat she chooses to mostly stay inside. She does not know Santa Cruz that well as she grew up in Southern California. For the last couple of years in Santa Cruz she only liked to go out nearby and sit under the neighbor’s vehicle and feel the air. Mostly in the evening hours. That is where I last saw her, about 20 feet from my door at 10:30pm on June 14th. The neighbors didn’t mind as they also have cats. Jasmine grew up around other cats and around a dog: She knows her name very well. She also goes by Jazzy or Yasmina or mitten kitten. she will meow at you if you meow at her nicely and with interest.. Though a senior cat she had been receiving arthritis , and as of three weeks before she disappeared was still hunting and catching mice. She has a thyroid condition which was stable when she disappeared. She takes thyroid pills. I have had her since she was a kitten. I miss her very much. She is an amazing companion. She is very neat for a cat. I suspect that is because I am very neat. She has been with me through my father‘s stroke and my friend’s stroke and my mother‘s death and I am quite quite the loss without her. I graduated UCSC and had to move. I will come back for her within a day if she is found. All of my former neighbors are keeping an eye out for her. I have friends in Santa Cruz that will watch her and know her please if you have any information let me know.
