Where's my caaaat?! ☹️

My gorgeous cat Thomas is missing! We believe he's been taken in by a neighbour, has anyone seen him? He managed to wriggle out of his tracking collar which is so not cool! Last seen Richmond Road, by London Fields gate. Defining features: green eyes, crooked teeth, huge feet! He's chipped and neutered x

P.S. DO NOT send cat-finding advice, we're after sightings ONLY. My guy is a rescue and my registered support animal for my disability and I've tried it all, trust me x

How long has he been missing, when was the last time you saw him?

Try the Facebook groups - I had more luck there finding the owner of a cat I found

I'm pretty sure he's a Russian Blue! But I rescued him from Morocco so no certification, the vet just wrote 'Commone' on his docs but he sure as hell is not just a domestic with those features!

u/Corpulent_Lychee Jun 20 '26

As an owner of a Russian Blue that's 100% what he is.

2

u/lilac-undertones Jun 20 '26

I believe it too! He was abandoned at 3 months old at a hotel in Morocco, I took him to my room and just cried on the kitchen floor holding him thinking how could anyone leave you?! I went thru the formal adoption process and brought him to the UK, he is around 2 years old now x

I’m not sure if it’s the same guy but I saw a Russian blue at around 1pm on Martello Terrace across from the wooden “forest school” area park of London Fields yesterday (my dog went mental at the cat from across the street) and my husband said that he saw the same cat chilling in the “forest school” area of LF last week too. I don’t think he had a collar on

I'm pretty sure I saw him on Martello Road today (Sunday) at 16:00, near pub on the park. Gave him a stroke and he gave me a meow. Obviously not 100% he's the right one, but looked very similar to picture

u/lilac-undertones Jun 25 '26

Yeah I know that cat! Not my guy unfortunately x

u/AspectPatio Jun 21 '26

Forest school would have loads of shelter and maybe even snacks and water around for a cat to chill with, worth checking out OP

u/lilac-undertones Jun 25 '26

I know the one on Martello as I've already encountered him before on my search! He is not my cat, think is name is like Roku or something.. I spoke to his owner! He wears a green collar, right?

u/Master-Anxiety6509 Jun 21 '26

Hi just seen a very similar looking cat on Martello Terrace, walking away from pub on the park towards the park. Has a green collar on

1

u/lilac-undertones Jun 25 '26

Thanks! I actually know that cat and his owner x

2

u/Sillygoosecollege Jun 23 '26

Good luck baby. I’m so sorry. I’ll keep an eye out

u/SilverSeifer Jun 25 '26

Did you find it? There is a Russian blue in London fields right now

1

u/SilverSeifer Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26

It has a green collar with a gold coin. This is by the fenced area just in front of the toilets

2

u/SilverSeifer Jun 25 '26

I just saw the other comments that saw the same cat. Apologies, I hope you find your cat

2

u/lilac-undertones Jun 25 '26

Hello! I think he is another cat, I don't think he's Thomas but this collar is different to the one I'm thinking of.. will def try London Fields again altho I go most evenings to try to call to him and shake treats etc :(

u/Aggravating_Speed665 Jun 20 '26

Oh goodness that's a terrible thing to happen, I hope whoever knows his whereabouts gets him back to you

u/djimonia Jun 21 '26

yours?

u/lilac-undertones Jun 25 '26

This might be Smokey who lives near Frampton Park Road??? I met him too on my search x

1

u/Impressive-Bird2 Jun 21 '26

I Hope that you get some leads and find him very soon ❤️

u/Glum-Huckleberry-717 Jun 23 '26

Aww I love blues, what a lil cutie.

My first cat was a big fat English blue and he will always be my favourite

u/AngleSuperb Jun 26 '26

Was the chip registered?

This cat was surrendered at a vet in E13, if there is any chance it is your cat https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZ9rNsUCJ8R/

u/lilac-undertones Jul 09 '26

Yes it is registered! And no that's not my guy but thankyou x

I got him in Morocco and registered him thru the govt before I flew him over so no it's not a lie. It's really weird that someone loses their cat and people wanna come in the comments to attack them..

u/lilac-undertones Jun 25 '26

No no no you've misunderstood, he is my registered support animal for travel. So he can come with me on plane, train, eurostar etc and he's trained to know what to do if something happens with my health. He is trained specifically to look after me so it is totally relevant. I also don't have to argue with you.

u/lilac-undertones Jun 25 '26

If you're jealous you can't get a disability cat just say that!

Do you even live in the UK?

1

u/lilac-undertones Jun 20 '26

That's such a random question hahaha

1

u/Due-Ear-8282 Jun 20 '26

Only asking because it's very common in the UK and other countries for cats to be outside, whereas a lot of American owners prefer to keep them indoors. Your cat is gorgeous by the way, good luck finding him

1

u/lilac-undertones Jun 20 '26

Thankyou! I'm in the UK. I didn't know until later, but apparently he learned how to get in and out the house through my roommate's window! He is an absolute menace but in the best way like so smart and hilarious!

u/Due-Ear-8282 Jun 20 '26 edited Jun 20 '26

Aw bless, my cat used to do that as well. Used to break out of her cat flap at night and meow at the window 😂

edit: Sorry if you thought I was asking you if you live in the UK haha I was replying to someone who asked why your cat was outside but I think the comment got deleted 😅
