Is This Your Cat?

Is This Your Cat?

This cat just came to my door to eat the food put out for the neighborhood strays. I have never seen it before today. I'm on West Valley View.

@Flower - I’ve seen a different black and white cat but I have never seen this one. Poor thing.

The cat may belong to Judy Truex who just passed away. The cats name may be Thomas. Judy lived at in one of the townhouses on West Valley View.

@ John C- that's incredibly sad to think that a cat who lost their owner is now roaming around in the cold. Is anyone able to notify Animal Control, or post on the Lost and Found Pets of Warren County Facebook page to get this little guy inside where he is safe?

If no one claims this cat I am willing to foster him/her. Just send me a private message. Tx

@Jacqui - If I see the cat again I will send you a message. It seemed a little skittish and only was around long enough to eat.

@John C - do you know for a fact if this this cat belonged to Judy? I can check with her son the next time he stops by her place.

I'm sure. It's either Thomas or Thomisina. Thomisina is always outside. Very skittish. Won't go to anyone but Judy.

Hi all,
I am Michael, Judy's son. We are having a difficult time getting the cats both inside and outside to come around us! We are leaving food and water daily. please contact me at(970) 699-0867 if you are interested in adopting any of them. We will try to locate and photograph all of the indoor cats when we can find them. As for the outdoor cats ( I believe there are 2 ) Please adopt at will if you befriend them. We can't get them to come close enough to I.d.

thanks, everyone share this on their FB. I will as well :)


@Michael - First, I am so sorry for your loss - Judy was a great neighbor and we will miss her.

Thank you for responding and updating the information on her cats. I wish I could help you out on the adoption situation, however, I have several cats myself. Post pics when/if you get a chance. I know the 2 neighborhood strays I am familiar with visited Judy. She even caught a few strays and took them and paid for their spaying/neutering.

I'm so sorry to hear of Judy's passing. All of the cats in Judy's place and outside were fixed. I helped her trap many. If they are outside and skittish they are not going to be adoptable unless you're ok with a cat that most likely won't want to be touched. If somebody in the area could continue to feed them, that would be great. Judy made it her mission to get them fixed so none would reproduce.

Judy paid for at least 6 cats there to get fixed... Maybe more! The stray population was getting out of hand in that area and she wanted to fix it.

The cats also need shelter. I will be more than happy to provide that to someone who is willing to feed them.

Judy and my wife and I drove a bunch of cats out to a vet I'm Allentown PA to be fixed. We adopted three of the cats.

I put food and water out every day as many people in the neighborhood do so the cats are covered in that area.

Re: Is This Your Cat?

Still available for adoption....
Judy's indoor Siamese cat Bucky is a friendly companion still needing a home. He is updated on all shots and neutered. Please reach out to Michael at 970.699.0867 or respond to this post.
Thanks!

Please be sure to vet prospective owners thoroughly... vet references, etc... the Internet is a scary place. He is a beautiful cat. :-)

Mike, have you asked Judy's friends if they would like to adopt Bucky? I know she loved him very much and maybe one of her friends would like to give him a home? I can also ask the rescue I used to work for if they have a foster and would take him and find him a home if time is of the essence? I belong to a private local 'animal lovers' group on FB . I could post his picture there if you would like. Let me know

FYI Mike D.
We sent a donation to New Beginnings Cat Rescue in Judy’s name, per the address in the obituary, and it was returned to us as Undeliverable.

This adorable kitty visits me everyday on Grand Ave. Guess because I am spoiling him/her. As soon as I try to get close away it runs. Lovely coloring..


Bucky update.... he is settling in nicely to his new home! He is effectionate and chatty with his new family! He is learning to be careful around his new baby sister and he and the other cat are slowly getting to know each other. All is going really well!

Any pictures of the kitty rose?


I will take a pic tomorrow when he comes around. Very skiddish, so need to move quickly


Try Pet Adoption League in Hackettstown, they may be able to trap them and adopt them out.

Re: Is This Your Cat?

That would be Thomas. He spent a lot of time in Judy's house so he may be accounted for. I adopted the only surviving kitten born to Thomasina and Thomas. Her name is Nikki.

There's an all black cat on West Valley View that's been hanging around on my deck on and off the last few weeks. I saw it this morning when I left for work and it's a little skittish. It looks very healthy and even has a tile locator around it's neck. Anyone else see this cat or know who it belongs to?
