We’ve been feeding this stray cat since the middle of october. it’s only come close enough to eat in front of me but it runs away if i get too close. and they’re way too smart for a trap. we’ve caught other things trying to lure it in (hence the photo.) It’s getting way too cold out so they only come out quick enough to eat then run somewhere for warmth. elm is about a few minutes away from minns. hoping their owner is still searching.

Yoga - Female Cat https://www.pawboost.com/landing/pet/e-2XXJQGBOmk9D14KpwoLn6ViQGW9FmZ/lost-yoga-loves-park-il-61111?utm_source=api Loves Park, IL 61111 - Near Croydon Ave, Loves Park, IL 61111, USA Black female cat with a white patch on her chest between her front legs She is spayed, independent, and very shy around strangers. She does not allow unfamiliar people to approach or touch her. She spends a lot of time outdoors, usually stays within about 500 feet of home, and is an active hunter. She has been missing for three days, which is very unusual for her. If you see her, please do not chase or try to catch her. Contact me immediately by phone or text at with the exact location, time of sighting, and a photo if possible. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This cat looks a lot like our missing cat, Yoga, especially the way she sits and the thin fur between her ears and eyes. She’s 4 years old but smaller than an average adult cat. She has a small white patch on her chest between her front legs, which is only visible when she lies on her side or back. She loves rolling around. She was missing for a few days in mid-October, which matches your post. We live on Croydon Avenue, about a mile away, across a busy road. She came home after that but disappeared again around October 25–28 and hasn’t returned. She’s very smart, patient, and an excellent hunter. She spends hours outside, even in winter, and isn’t afraid of opossums. She can be very vocal and loves communicating by meowing, but she won’t let strangers get close to her. She’s friendly only with our family. I’m worried she might still be in that area and unable to cross the busy road to get home. Has anyone seen her recently? Could you please share the exact location where she was last seen? Thank you!
