Message from Owner

Harvey was in the back yard in a harness on a leash, with my son, when Harvey became startled by something, panicked, escaped the harness and leaped over a tall wooden privacy fence. We have been unable to find him since. We adopted Harvey from Sav A Pet around two years ago. He developed urinary crystals, had an obstruction, and had to go the emergency vet where he was hospitalized a few days after a procedure to clear it all up. He's been doing well since and eating specifically urinary formula cat food only. He's a very sweet little guy that likes looking out the windows and watching the birds. We're all very upset, especially the kids. We want him back. He sleeps with my husband almost nightly, so he won't be next to him tonight. If anyone sees him, please contact us or animal control. Thank you. Please call or text the following numbers: and. Also, you can email maj7976@yahoo.com.

Go out before the sun comes up If you have a garage , open it Leave open. Put worn clothes out . When you look call name in normal tone, no yelling. Look under cars, bushes,decks, porches, up trees Post on PawBoost and Nextdoor. If the neighbor who I read feeds him, set a humane trap. Check Craigslist. Go in person to shelters. Get photo out. Good luck!

HARVEY SPOTTED TWICE: He seen Last Wednesday June 3rd 2026 in our backyard around 7AM. Husband was putting wet food out for him and Harvey was watching him from the corner of the backyard or from under our trampoline (same area pretty much). Husband assumed Harvey would come to his food, went to get our daughter, and he was gone when they came back. They left the door open all day for him, but he didn't come back inside. I received a text last night, Saturday June 6 2026, around 8:47PM but missed it due to watching a movie with the family. Went out close to 9:30PM and walked the street they said they saw him run into some bushes at. The street is pretty close to our house still, but he is obviously wandering the neighborhood now. Which I don't like, but maybe he will get picked up by animal control or something. We were shining flashlights and caught his big white chest. He wouldn't come to us and ran off. We circled the block and spotted him again at a different house, but like one or two doors down. I played meows of our other cat as he'd usually come see what was up when the other cat was whine meowing and Harvey did look curious and interested, but he didn't come to us. We kept calling him. I laid on the ground and he seemed to do the slow blinks (couldn't tell due to eye shine if he was simply just blinking), but he again just stared at us for awhile, then ran off. I'm afraid to just wander into random strangers' yards at night and I was afraid of scaring him away, or I would have just tried to grab him. I didn't have a treat bag or anything, because I wasn't really thinking I'd find anything. We already had some false alerts as there are a lot of tuxedo cats just running the streets around here, but we know that was him due to his markings and mannerisms. I'm getting ready to go over there again. Hope I can get him back into the house.

Please, ask your neighbors!! Anyone on other side of that fence! And look under bushes, he might be hiding. Continue to leave water out for him ❤️ Hope he turns up soon.
