A friendly orange tabby domestic shorthair has been found wandering near the intersection of Lithia Pinecrest Road and Poley Road in the Bloomingdale area. The male cat, estimated to be 2-3 years old, appears well-fed and very affectionate, suggesting he has a loving home somewhere in our community.

When scanned for a microchip, no information was registered in the system. He is currently being held safely while we work to reunite him with his family.

If this is your cat or if you recognize him, please reach out immediately. We're also asking our Valrico neighbors to keep an eye out for any missing pet notices or to check with nearby households.

If you have any information, contact Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center at (813) 744-5660 or visit Hillsborough County Animal Services.
