Description

He is a 4 year old Orange Tabby. His biggest identifying feature is that his purrs sound like a bullfrog. Very loud, you can't miss it. He's always purring. He's a very distinct orange color with darker orange stripes running from his head to the base of his tail. He has a little bit of white on the bottom of his jaw and down the middle of his belly. He usually will respond to his name if you use a nice tone. When you scratch near his butt he'll stick his tail straight up. He also loves to do this little roll move onto his back or side so you can scratch his belly.

Message from Owner

He is our best boy and has been such a comfort. He is usually back in 3 days but it has now been a week and we haven’t seen him. We are distraught and so is his sister. We would just like to see him again.

I'm so sorry about your baby.🥺💔 Most cats stay close to home so it is critical to stay as proactive, and persistent, as possible--even when it's an outdoor-access cat. ●Crack your garage door or leave a porch door open so it can get inside. Cats return at night when you're sleeping so you miss them. This also ensures if your cat was chased away, it can sneak back inside when it can. ●Check everywhere outside even in drain pipes and drains, in logs, under bushes and cars, up in trees and anywhere it's collar could get hung. ●Use a flashlight after dark as it will make your cat's eyes glow. ●Check under your house and your neighbor's houses, in sheds, garages, basements, etc. ●Indoor-only or new to the area lost cats tend to not recognize their owners outside because it is a different environment and they are scared. Sit outside every single day especially in the morning and at dusk/night so your cat can get used to you being there. ●Put food in a plastic container with a lid and periodically shake it and call your cat's name. ●Print flyers for neighbors and businesses in the area. ●Put posters in public areas, like on street signs and in your front yard, and offer some type of reward, if you can. ●Put the reward amount on the flyers and posters. A reward will incite people to intentionally be on the lookout for your cat or to return it to you. ●Work with a cat rescue to immediately set a cat trap or you can purchase one at Tractor Supply, Home Depot or on Amazon and set it yourself. You will need to monitor the trap(s) ●Post on the Ring app, on Nextdoor, and Pawboost and visit pet rescues/shelters in person regularly to see if someone has found your cat and has taken it to one. Give them a flyer and report your cat as missing. ●Consistently visit rescues and shelters. They only hold a cat 3 to 5 days before putting it up for adoption. Even if the cat has a microchip, the chip can float and be missed by the scanner. ●Set notification alerts for the Facebook lost and found pets groups in case someone has found your cat.

Shared with prayers. Cats roaming outside are always in danger.
