Charlotte, a tortie-point cat with bright blue eyes
Verified outdoor cat

Charlotte, 3

Less than 1 km away. Possibly in your kitchen.

Lost right now

I’m not lost.

This time I really am lost.

I live around the corner, I’m allowed outside, and I’m out making friends. You don’t need to do anything.

My family is looking for me. Please keep me safe and call Em or Shaun, any time of day.

Home: 2095 James White Blvd West, SidneyGet directions

One tap shares this spot with Em and Shaun so they know whose porch I’ve claimed. Only they see it.

This sends your location to Em and Shaun so they can come and get me.

Call Text

Do call or text if I’m hurt, stuck somewhere (a shed, a garage, your car as you’re about to drive off), or something seems wrong. If I’ve let myself in, you’re welcome to carry me back outside.

More about me

The basics

I’m looking for

Something casual. A warm lap, an open door, maybe a quick ride in your car. I’ll be home for dinner.

Me when you ask if I’m lost.

Please don’t panic

I am not an escaped convict. There’s no bulletin out for me. Nobody is combing the neighbourhood with flashlights. I’m just a very social cat with no concept of personal space.

My love language

Walking straight into your house like I pay rent there.

An extreme close-up of Charlotte’s nose and eyes
Up close and personal is kind of my thing.

Two truths and a lie

  1. I’ve been in more strangers’ cars than an Uber driver.
  2. I act more like a dog than a cat. I love cuddles.
  3. I’m lost.
Reveal the lie

Number three. I know exactly where I am. I just don’t want to be there yet.

Green flags

Sunny porches. Open car windows. Belly rubs (yes, really). People who say “oh, hello” in a high voice.

My idea of a first date.

Fair warning

If you feed me, I will come back. That’s not a threat. It’s a promise.

Red flags

Closed doors. Being posted in the neighbourhood group as “found”. I was never lost.

When you close the door before I’m done visiting.

My people

Em and Shaun, over on James White Blvd. They know I’m out. They get a lot of phone calls about me. They’re lovely about it, but you really don’t need to call.

Charlotte looking off to the side
Ready for my close-up. Or a cuddle. Either.
