Please help us find Charlie cat (bw tuxedo; lost 2/10)

Our cat Charlie is still missing! We are heartbroken and have no idea what could have happened to him. He is short-haired black & white tuxedo, was wearing a red collar with a bell and our phone number written on it. He went missing on February 10 (the Friday before the blizzard) early in the morning.

We used to let him out in the backyards on the block between Flatbush/Vanderbilt and Park Place/Sterling. He had gone outside for almost a year and he usually would go out for a couple of hours and then return.

There is no way out of the backyards into the street. So, he couldn't have been hit by a car or snuck into someone's car and been driven away. And the backyards are so small! There aren't really any dangerous places in the backyards as far as we know. We talked to most of our neighbors who have backyards and many knew him or had seen him before. But no one has seen him since Feb. 10.

We let him out at 4:30 in the morning and he usually would have returned by 7, so something must have happened to him during that time.

He is microchipped and registered, so we would know if he got into any shelter. (But we still check regularly with NYCACC). We have not had any leads so far from flyers or posts.

We cannot imagine someone would want to keep him--he is not purebred and looks like an alleycat. And he had his collar with our phone number.

If you have any ideas as to where or what we should do to look for him or what could have happened to him please email or call us. We really miss him.

Thank you very much!
