UPDATE: FOUND! And I love all of you sooooo much for it!! I cried like a baby! I love you Reddit and I love you Philadelphia!!!’**** Missing black kitten in a bow tie collar. Name is spooky and is very friendly. He has some white in his belly and is very talkative. He is missed dearly and if anyone has any information please contact me. I miss him terribly and this could not have happened at a worse time. Thank you!

Cats (and kittens especially) don't roam very far when they escape. My roommate's cat got out for 3 days around the Race/Vine BSL station and we ended up seeing her running around our street and brought her back in. Another time my ex's cat escaped and was just hiding in a bush across the street for a day.

Cats are generally nervous homebodies who hunt by staying in a small, secluded spot waiting for prey to come to them. Odds are your kitten is hiding somewhere very close to your house. Hope you find him

my sister lives near 4th and ritner and saw a black cat near her house this morning. she was wondering if she should feed him. if she sees him again i’ll let you know! i hope it is spooky and you can be reunited!

edit: she said he had no collar but was very meow-y. he could have slipped the collar though?

Put out his litter box, bed, or something of similar size. The smell and familiarity might help bring him back to your front steps.

I’ll keep my eye out as I don’t live very far and have cats myself so I understand. Assuming you did but post in some of the local Facebook groups with photos on the off chance someone scooped him up. Fingers crossed you find the spooky boi

so my sister hasn’t seen the cat again but she put some food on her step. she has a ring camera so if she sees him again i asked her to reach out here.

i really hope this works out, i am unfortunately dealing with finding out that my own cat may have cancer so a win would be awesome right now

One thing I will add here that has worked numerous times for the people I've recommended this to... Put out some of your dirty laundry as well will the litter. I have like 90%+ success rate with this.

Check behind the Asian market. There's a huge cat colony there and is monitored by someone who kinda stays over there (?)

Lol which part?

If we're thinking of the person who stays over there: I can't say that they live in the minivan that sits right at the cat colony entrance. I say they stay there because about 90% of the times I've driven by there, I see the van there. It's usually during the day I see them there. They'll be there as early as 6am and as late as 8pm. I don't know if they actually live out of their van.

If you mean the cat colony directly behind the Asian market, I frequent that supermarket and the pho restaurant there; all good.

I know Oregon Ave is a huge street and a cat crossing it would be a nightmare. But from one cat handler to another, they find a way. With such a big colony nearby, your cat might make its way over there.

I hope you get them home
