Found Pet Female Cat

FOUND PawBoost ID: 73188960


Clive, IA 50325

Super friendly and loving cat. She's been wondering the neighborhood since early June, but was too skittish at first. Vet estimated she's about a year old, and no microchip was found. She was definitely loved before you caught her, but I haven't been able to find any missing cats matching her description. She's also polydactyl with some extra toes, which is a very defining feature. Please contact me if she's your cat, or if you have any information on where she came from.
