A black cat named Mocha got out of her house near 1st Avenue NW and NW 72nd Street on July 3, and is still missing.

Her owner, Julie, said she wants to thank everyone who has been looking for her. She also asks neighbors to please check the hiding places in their yards, because Mocha is “a true scaredy cat who won’t approach strangers.”

Mocha is about 7 years old, all black (including whiskers and nose), about 10 pounds, with large round eyes.

If you’ve seen Mocha, call Julie at 206-406-5704.

Update July 14: Widger is still missing, but friends say he has been spotted numerous times recently around North 84th Street and Dayton Avenue North. Neighbors and family are still looking for him, and ask anyone who’s seen him to call his owner’s friend Annie at 206-617-6683.

Earlier: Laurie says her male orange and white tabby, named Widger, is missing.

He has a camo-colored collar w/tag & black magnet for his cat door (& he has a chip). He was last seen on Wed 7/6. Widger’s normal neighborhood is N. 73rd between Fremont & Dayton. He’s very friendly & curious and is known to wander into people’s homes & basements or hang out on porches. Please call Laurie w/any information – 206-419-4683.

Update 7 p.m.: Mina has returned home safe and sound.

Stephanie tells us her cat Mina is missing from their home in Crown Hill.

My indoor cat is missing. We’ve combed through the whole house and have even used the bag of treats trick to get her out of when she is in curled up in a cubby to no avail. She seems to have made her way out of the house when I was out last night when the family was home. She’s always been an indoor cat and she is now 8 years old. She’s a smaller cat (around 8 or 9 pounds) and a bit nervous around people she does not know.

We live near 9th Ave NW and Holman. We have checked with the cat shelter and they don’t report any found cats near our location with her description.

If you’ve seen Mina, call Stephanie at 206-501-8256.

Julie says her indoor cat, named Mocha, got loose this morning, near 1st Avenue NW and NW 72nd Street.

My indoor cat escaped out of an open window this morning when I wasn’t looking. She hasn’t been outside since I found her as a stray kitten 7 years ago. She’s all black–whiskers and nose included– about 10 pounds, with large round eyes–a true scaredy cat who won’t approach strangers.

If you’ve seen Mocha, call Julie at 206-406-5704.

Kylene tells us she’s found a stray cat, and is hoping someone recognizes him.

I have a very friendly cat who is always inviting friends over. His current new friend does not have a collar but does have a terrible limp in his back leg. This morning I found him sleeping on my back porch and letting out a very sad mew every once in a while. I was just wondering if he has a home and a family who misses him. I live between Fremont and Linden on 97th.

Update 5 p.m. Tuesday: Romeo has just been found.

Kelly is hoping someone has seen her lost kitty, Romeo.

Romeo is a handsome black & white short hair male approximately 4-5 years old. He has a short black tail with a crook at the very tip, gold/green eyes, long teeth that jut past his upper lip a bit and a black chin & spots on his white muzzle. He’s a rescue who was an outdoor cat before his adoption but has been kept indoors over the past year. He snuck out an open bathroom window this morning about 9:30 into the alley btw. N85th & N84th St & Greenwood Ave & 1st. Sadly, he did not have his collar on. Romeo is a very social & sweet guy. If you spot him please call Kelly @ 206-601-4104.

Update: Luther has returned home.

Annie sent us a note saying her cat, Luther, is missing.

Luther is a very large (~11 lbs) black and tan tabby cat who was last seen near our house at N 100th and Palatine on Sunday around 11am. It is not like him to stay out all night. He wears a spiky collar with a pink heart shaped tag and is not really very friendly to strangers but could probably be coerced with food. Please call if seen or found. 240-535-5327 cell, 202-368-8090 cell, or 206-526-6849 work (9-5 only).

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Jersey.

If there was ever a companion who truly knew the meaning of relaxation, it would definitely be Jersey. She enjoys showing off her luxurious, black and white coat while lounging around on her back, or sharing her cute and sensitive side as she curls up in her donut bed with her tail wrapped neatly around her nose. But do not be fooled, Jersey loves attention the most! She will spend her time exploring and pouncing on fleece mice but when the day is done, she prefers the company of her people and a loving lap to lounge on. She is a mellow, loving, curious, and polite three-and-a-half year old lady who can’t wait to meet you. During our Home for the Holidays promotion, her adoption fee is $72. Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon – 6 pm, Thu noon – 7 pm and Sat – Sun 11 am – 5 pm.

Jersey is waiting for your lap at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle). She is spayed, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on her vaccines.

The upcoming holiday season might be a perfect time for your family to welcome a new animal friend. Through January 3, there is a 20% discount on the adoption fees for cats and dogs six months and older. If you’re ready, come on in and we’ll help you find your perfect match!

Update: Alex has been adopted.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Alex.

Alex is a handsome, 4-year old gentleman with a quiet and peaceful disposition. This sweet boy may be hesitant at first, but he quickly warms up to a soft voice and gentle affection. Alex is long and lean with the most dramatic grey and black tabby markings – two tone colored whiskers – and soft, green eyes. Give Alex a little time and you will quickly get to know (and love) the sweet, curious, and affectionate cat within his shy exterior.

Alex is waiting for a chin rub at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle). He is neutered, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on his vaccines. During our Home for the Holidays promotion, his adoption fee is $72. Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon – 6 pm, Thu noon – 7 pm and Sat – Sun 11 am – 5 pm.

We’re overflowing with news of lost and found pets lately. Phinney Ridge Animal Hospital at 8205 Greenwood Ave. N. tells us that the Woodland Park Zoo brought them a female siamese cat that was found in their monkey cage this morning.

Seattle Animal Shelter is closed today so the cat is here with us until she can be picked up by them…She’s young, very friendly, and looks like she has a loving home..we just need to find it! She has no collar on and is not chipped.

Phinney Ridge Animal Hospital’s phone number is 206-784-9200.

Update Thursday, Nov. 11: The cat’s owners have been found.

The folks at Phinney Ridge Animal Hospital at 8205 Greenwood Ave. N. posted in the forum about a stray cat that’s been hanging around the clinic for a while now.

The staff here at Phinney Ridge Animal Hospital are hoping to find some info on a VERY handsome cat…thats been hanging around here off and on for the past few weeks but he’s also been spotted here as late as last summer.

He’s polydactyl on all four feet (has extra toes) and has BRIGHT blue eyes. He looks like ragdoll (breed) but with short hair! Brown and white with a lovely brown diamond splotch right on his nose!

He seems young, but is definitely an adult. He isn’t chipped and wears no collar, and has been showing up for twice daily meals (he’s smart!)but we’re wondering if he’s got a home nearby or if someone knows him!

He’s a big boy and healthy looking and seems to be doing just fine, but if you recognize him, we’d love to hear from you. Reach us at 206.784.9200 or come on by – we’re at 8205 Greenwood Ave N.

PAWS Cat City at 8503 Greenwood Ave. N. announced today that it is moving out of Greenwood and into a larger space in the University District.

PAWS Cat City has been in Greenwood for more than 13 years. It will move by mid-December to 5200 Roosevelt Way NE.

“It was a bittersweet decision,” PAWS Executive Director Annette Laico said in a press release. “Greenwood has been such a supportive, loving community, and we want to thank everyone for the many great years there. It is hard to say farewell. At the same time we’re excited for the possibilities at the new location.”

The new space will give PAWS Cat City more room for cats and a larger lobby for visitors, and it has parking.

Last year, PAWS Cat City found homes for more than 850 cats and kittens.
