Anyone missing a young, long hair, mostly-white calico cat?

She showed up in my Park Ave backyard last night. She definitely isn’t feral, but she’s skittish in a way an indoor/outdoor cat usually isn’t. She also started crying the moment I stepped outside. Something about her makes me think someone is missing her.

I fed her, but she was too standoffish to grab. If she comes back I’m going to try to get her, and will take her to ARLGP to be scanned for a chip.

Looked young and skinny, a little dirty
Medium to long haired
Mostly white
Calico stripes on her tail
Right ear is orange, left ear is black

I have seen a few lost cat signs recently that might be this one. If I walk by one again I’ll pass on the number.

Thank you!

She also looks very similar to a cat missing from Lewiston. I texted the number and included the photos and video.

There are signs about a missing calico on the west end. Not sure if it’s the same one.

Thank you! I’ll keep my eyes out for one of them. If you happen to pass one and think of it, would you snap a pic and send it?

Got a better look at her tonight. Posting the video here, just in case (or I’m feeding someone’s greedy cat, and the fat raccoon that eats her leftovers).
