We miss him terribly and wish he would return home as soon as possible as we are so worried. He is a fluffy, medium-long haired grey-brownish (from the sun) cat and is a Russian Blue. He is also microchipped near his left shoulder blade.
We miss him so much and want him to come home. He moved from Remuera (Dilworth Avenue) to St. John’s (Greenbank Drive) over Christmas. He was wearing an old blue collar, and is friendly if you feed him. Leo is very loved and missed.
Please contact 0210737963 for any information or sightings and please look out for our Fluff. He’s a lovely cat, and is only 3, turning 4 this year. 😔 We miss and love you Leo! We have put out his litter, checked the old house, rubbed his fav food on trees. Would be happy to pay for his safe return! We miss you.
