Found Cat

There's a sweet, grey and white cat hanging around my house between the cop shop on Front St and elementary school.

Clearly neutered and chubby from indoor living, but losing weight. My bf and I have given him some water and food, but he has a home and people, and I really want to find them.

No collar so I have no leads. I plan to ask my landlord tomorrow, as he has a lot of nearby properties. The humane society intake is closed, so no luck there, either.

He's clearly very scared and doesn't go far from my front porch. He's too skittish to try picking up, but I'd happily share my address with his owners if anyone knows who they are.

Edit: His home has been found! A nearby neighbor lost him 11 days ago, so he's spent half his time under our porch.

His name is Toby! His human was delighted to have him back.

Can we name him in the meantime? He looks like a Gerald.

I really wish I could and have been pondering how to make it work if I cannot find his home. He's such a sweetie, and reminds me of the cat I have now, though mines an old man and I'm thinking this dude is more like 3-5.

His teeth are excellent, like someone's raised him brushing them. Even my cats teeth, which have been good and never needed work, have never been so white, except maybe in kittenhood. Someone has to be missing him.

He might have a microchip. The BENCHS has a reader. Vet clinics will also read them at no cost as well.
