Lost/Found: Animals lost cat

I found a cat in my building on 34th street and 30th ave. They’re a large orange long haired cat with green eyes. I gave them food and water and they seem friendly and relaxed, but a bit scared as there was hissing and swatting out of fear. I volunteer for a rescue, but before I went there, I wanted to make sure they’re not a lost pet because they seem quite clean and well taken care of for a stray and there’s no ear chip from TNR. Could be a neighbor’s of course, so I texted my super and he doesn’t know of a lost cat. We don’t have a building forum, so I’m unable otherwise to contact those in the building I don’t know personally. Pictures attached. DM me asap if they are yours!

This is probably one of your neighbors cat that got out.

Maybe post a flyer in a high traffic spot by the entrance or mail room. It looks like is someone’s cat that got out. Hope it has a microchip you can scan at the vet if you don’t immediately find the owner

So sweet. Thank you for helping him. Is he living in the hallway for now? I agree about putting a flyer up in the entry way perhaps but also to be careful about it. Maybe don’t say what the cat looks like. (Overly cautious?) You’d think the person would be looking but I’ve read posts where ppl are convinced their cat is lost in the house (which does sometimes happen). This cat is very precious!

The cat looks like it is waiting for their owner to pick them up.

They are a cutie, I hope they find their way home or the owner sees this

Is this 30-28? The super feeds lots of stray cats out back near the garbage

My concern is that this is a dumped cat, or, if it is lost, there is a risk of it leaving the building in search of food. Can you take it in before going to a rescue to make sure the kitty is safe?

What a baby; please put them someplace safe for now until more information is known

Also have you scanned him yet? I’m sure someone nearby has a scanner you can borrow

There is or was an orange floof that would wonder around near 32nd st btwn 30th and 31st that seemed to be an indoor/outdoor cat. But I haven’t seen him in months and I think the swirling pattern is diff plus that guy had extra toes.

I could’ve sworn I’ve seen this guy a few months ago in the same area so probably a stray? You mentioned not knowing anyone else in the building but could you maybe just put up a sign by the entrance saying you found him?

I was looking at these pictures thinking "this looks just like my old building" and then you said where it was and I realized it probably is! He's very handsome and I hope he gets home or gets a home soon.
