Description

Pelmen is a gray, short-haired cat with a plush coat and a lighter belly. He has very distinctive round amber/orange eyes and a round, expressive face. From the back, he can look a bit like a raccoon because of his thick, striped tail. He is not wearing a collar, as he doesn’t tolerate them, and he is not microchipped.

Message from Owner

If you see him, please do not try to pick him up — he may be scared and will likely run away. Instead, please call or text this number right away. He is not wearing a collar and is not microchipped. His tail looks like a raccoon tail (thick with dark stripes). We are actively searching for him and would really appreciate any sightings.

Look for him in the early morning hours and late at night when it is quiet outside.

If Pelmen is normally an INSIDE cat… then he is definitely scared and hiding and you will need to go out at NIGHT with a flashlight and look for his “glowing” eyes. He is VERY CLOSE to your house… most likely in YOUR OWN YARD. They usually find a hiding spot very quickly and very close to where they escaped. Look up in the trees and check under everything in YOUR YARD first… under decks, under sheds, inside bushes, wood piles and storm drains. Then check your neighbors yards. They are very good at hiding. THE BEST TIME TO FIND HIM IS AT NIGHT WITH A FLASHLIGHT AND HIS EYES WILL “GLOW” BACK AT YOU. Pelmen is so scared, he will NOT respond to you calling him, so you'll have to use your eyes instead of your ears to find him. When cats are suddenly outside, they go into "survival mode" and their entire personality changes. They will NOT wander. They find a hiding spot very close by and are very scared and will not come out for anyone... even their owners. I hope you find your fur-baby very soon!
