Help Us Find Lost Cat

Neo was last seen off Breckenridge Rd off of Archer Rd, near Walnut,
Wayacross and Secor in Mahopac Falls. He returns to his feral roots
outside and is scared of people. Neo has a serious urinary medical
condition, and could die if given the wrong food. In addition, he must be
hungry to enter a trap. If you see Neo, do not chase him. Please contact us
ASAP with his location, so we may kindly trap him and get him to safety

before the cold sets in, before he gets sick or lost forever.
