Is this your cat?

Sorry, but this is definitely an adult cat. It's quite pudgy actually.

I really hope someone claims it, it's such a great cat and I'm sure the owners really miss it. You should see it "sell" itself to passersby, almost nobody can resist stopping to look at it and pet it.

Thanks for the inquiry and please pass the message along, let's get this one back home ASAP! A neighbor has posted in Craigslist as well.

Hi, thanks for responding. We were thinking the exact same thing, but it seems a bit suspicious that it suddenly appeared at our doorstep. Also, I saw it scurrying around in the rain last night. I don't know about you, but I don't know too many cats that like being out in the rain. Granted, we have been feeding it (how could we not, he's SOOO great!), so it is possible that someone has been letting it out. Right now, we just want to find his/her owners. If that doesn't work out, then we'll find a good home.

in my brother's neighborhood, there's an outdoor cat with a collar tag that says, "i am not lost"

yet another excellent idea, thanks!
