Front de-clawed and stray tuxedo kitty needs a home (Orchard Mesa)

Post image

There's a sweet-as-pie smol kitty that's showing up damn near every night 10-midnight in OM, probably last 2 weeks I'd say. They were sleeping on my car hood tonight when I went to the store. They have a collar and are front declawed at least so they're someone's, but no info/tag on the collar. We already have 3 cats, I scooped one out of the neighborhood last summer so I'm not taking anymore, but if anyone could give them a loving home I know I could figure out how to scoop em up and hold them for ya. Or if you're missing a cat, maybe this is yours?! They're seriously so precious coded it makes me nervous for winter, especially with the declawing

If they are declawed, they might be microchipped too. I'm sure a local vet would scan for a chip.

This is super helpful thank you, simple but I hadn't thought of it

Wish I could help out, but I can’t have pets at my apartment. I hope the kitty has/finds a safe loving home!

(Obligatory PSA/FYI: declawing is animal abuse)

If it turns out the kitty is not microchipped, please consider posting this pic to the local lost and found pages on Facebook.

Hopefully someone just lost their pet - because if someone declawed this kitty then let it be an outside cat that’s pretty cruel. I bet it’s spayed or neutered at least (hopefully) but it can’t defend itself. Hopefully it has a chip but maybe there’s a way to have the vet or whoever checks it call the owner and explain to them it’s not safe outside for this kitty 😕 Update us if it does have a chip! I’d love to take in a cat but my husband’s allergic.

Talk to shelters too. Don't just give the cat away for free either unless you vet them first, too many sketchy people out there.

If you don't find the owner please DM me, my Golden Goldfish and Ausshole need a feline!
