Our cat, Freddie, is unaccounted for after I had some people come through our house briefly this evening. He went missing from the 5100 block of W Seminary Ave around 4:45 pm. He is the light of our lives and unfortunately not micro chipped (kept meaning to). Please help us find him and get him home, he is an indoor boy and we need him back!

Freddie has been found! He's acting very casual about taking years off our lives due to stress. 💙

He said “what? I just went for a quick trip”
I'm so glad! He's such a pretty boy.
I'm sure you will quickly gain those lost years back gazing at his cute face !!
So glad he’s found. He is adorable, I love his little nose! Please make an appointment to get him chipped ASAP! A microchip will be the best way to help him get reunited with you if this ever happened again. I volunteered at a county pound in college and microchips helped us reunite SO many lost pets with their people.
Omg we have five cats and a dog and he's the only one without a chip! Somehow it slipped through the cracks when he was a kitten, and we always say how we need to do it. It is on the agenda for January!
You're very blessed for an immediate result! Praise God 🙏
PAWBOOST.COM (you don't have to pay) and next door app were major. I had countless people in the area looking and sending pics.
Cane here to highly recommend Pawboost!!
I did do the lower tier paid option on Pawboost! It feels like forever, bit he's really only been missing a few hours, I'm hopeful we'll find him quickly 😭
I love his nose so much
Me too 🥺
Put a blanket with yours or his scent outside if you can. Typically they dont run far when they dont know the area, tho it can happen. Shake a treat bag while ur looking for him outside.
What a sweet boy. I hope he’s found!
Freddy is beautiful!! I don’t live in that area, but I hope he is found soon.
This is always my biggest fear. I chipped my cats, but I want to get them GPS enabled collars. The chip only helps if someone else finds them.
Both my cats are scared of strangers, one absolutely so. I'd be scared shitless, as I am sure you are. Best of wishes.

The Google AI search actually did a good job of compiling numbers of agencies you can call to put out the info and see if they've turned up.
Again, best of luck.
Our four other cats and dog are all chipped, not sure how he got missed initially, but we're always saying how we need to 😭
Cause we're always saying and life gets in the way. We all do it.
My cat just left for 5 weeks and it was awful. I can give you some tips people told me!
Open to tips!!
Prayers for his immediate return
Want to make a correction: he is missing from the 5000 block of West Seminary Ave, my cold hands made a typo
That's a beautiful kitty.I hope you find him!!
Alerted friends 2 blocks away on E Seminary about this and they're on alert will be looking out.
Oh no, best of luck finding your kitty!
I hope you find this sweet angel.
He is soooo cute hope you find him soon
Freddie !!! Get tf back home !!!
I have to pet sit in the area. I’ll do a slow drive through. I have cat treats in my car so I’ll free them if I see him.
Does he respond to people or is scared?
Show and tell the stray cats in your area a picture of your cat, to tell him to get his ass home.
