Our beloved family cat, Bella, has been missing since April 22nd from the Lake Magdalene subdivision in Valrico. She is a 7-year-old gray and white longhair who was last seen in our backyard near a jasmine bush. Bella is an indoor cat, declawed, and wears a distinctive pink collar with bells.

We're heartbroken and asking our wonderful neighbors to please keep an eye out for her. If you spot a gray and white longhair cat matching this description, please don't hesitate to reach out. Even if you think you may have seen her, any information could help bring Bella home.

Please check your garages, sheds, and enclosed spaces—frightened indoor cats often hide in small, dark areas.
