Please spread the word for this lost cat. Fisher was LOST on September 14, 2024 in Dayton, VA 22821 near Westview Street, Thompson Street, Sunset Drive

Message from Owner: Fisher was last seen before dark on 9/14. He’s likely scared from the vehicles on the road, as he wasn’t completely used to those sounds yet, but was getting braver. Very friendly, very sweet, but also likes to “play a little rough”. Will almost always come to the sound of a plastic bottle cap being tossed on a hard surface. High pitched meow. Known to “make biscuits” when he walks, if he’s really happy. We miss him dearly.

Description: Brown and grey tabby, fixed, last seen with dark blue break-away collar. On the smaller side, sleek and slender.
