Update (05/10): Pigpen was found the other night and is back home (see Comments).

Neighbor Stacey is looking for her beloved cat Pigpen who seems to have gone missing. Stacey believes he escaped last night as she was letting her dog out before bed and she unfortunately didn’t realize he was missing until this morning.

He’s a small, thin, orange cat, approximately 10lbs., wearing a bright red breakaway collar with an identification tag (unless it came off of him). He’s normally very friendly and chatty but he’s not used to being outside so most likely he’s scared and holed up somewhere. He was last seen on Sunday, May 6, at 10pm on 49th Street between Walnut and Locust.

If you’ve seen Pigpen, please contact Stacey at: litelysalted@yahoo.com

Update (05/03): Mario has been found and is back home (see comments).

Mario is about 5 years old, 20 lbs, and totally black. He is often very jumpy and scared (even inside with folks he knows). He will hide.

Mario loves food, maybe too much. He will be very cautious with new environments even with food available.

Once comfortable Mario will cry your ear off. He loves to narrate his every move with a meow. He is very friendly.

If found please contact Nick Hunter at nickehunter@gmail.com or by phone at 804-519-5224.

Reader Margie recently sent us the following information:

“[On Thursday] a cat escaped from a trap that hadn’t been properly latched. He had just come from the PAWS clinic for neutering, and I was putting him in my cellar for recovery when he escaped from the unlatched trap.

I last saw him [Thursday] evening near 46th Street (west side) between Hazel and Cedar. I have a trap set in a back yard there (with permission of the owner), but I don’t know if he is still around there. He is not from this area, so he is not attached to a location yet. However, I don’t think he got very far as he probably slept off his anesthesia last night.

He is a brown tabby with some white markings: only a little white on his face around his chin. He is an adolescent: small, sleek and thin (but not skinny). He is ear-tipped, and shaved in the region under his tail. His feeder/trapper tells me that he is very vocal; of course he might be quiet when you see him. He is feral and will not come to anyone.

If you think you’ve seen him, please let me know where and when. I suspect he is still close by.”

Update (04/09): Mango has been found and reunited with his owner.

Mango, a 1 year old, blond-orange male with yellow eyes, slender face, long legs and tail, is missing from 48th and Warrington. He is very sweet and loving, but shy of people. He had on a cheetah-print blond fur breakaway collar, with a bright yellow tag. He is microchipped.

He has never been outside before – disappeared after moving furniture into the apartment on Thursday night.

If you see this cat, or take it in, please call Karen at 847-331-3864.

Update (03/17): Greyer is still missing. Please call if you think you’ve seen him. He’s likely to be close to home, between 40th & 43nd, Spruce & Woodland. His family is very worried about him!

Update (03/08): GoGo is back home, but Greyer is still missing.

Two cats went missing after their owner’s house on Delancey Street (between 40th & 41st, Pine & Spruce) was broken into Sunday morning. The cats are possibly injured, scared, and hiding out.

1) GoGo is a large male Maine Coon (long-haired), with white toes, 17 years old, mostly deaf.

2) Greyer is a Grey Tabby male, with white chest, belly and legs.

If you think you’ve seen either of these cats, please call 856.325.8666 and ask for Mary. Email: mnixon [at] dca.net

Update (03/06): The owner reports that Clawdius is back home.

An orange tabby named Clawdius has been missing since Thursday. He has one eye, so he is very distinctive. He has a tendency to wander into open basements. He frequents the backyards between Pine and Osage on the 4400 block.

If you have seen him, please call Susan at 267-307-5957.
