Lost Cat in Phoenix, AZ, 85029 Male, Last Seen: 26 January 2022

15 yr uneutered stray male medium size cat..buff/cream/light orange, faint stripes, lighter color around muzzle..tuffy living in yard of rental when I moved in 2011..he seemed like tough feral cat..began feeding him several years ago & soon discovered very loving, allowing me pick him up, hold him..runs from most other people..unusually gets along with most other cats.. As preparing to move jan '22, did not want to leave, abandon tuffy, got him used to cat carrier for prep to vet & neuter, new he'd be very frightened..believed hed eventually forgive me & live at new place with me.. He disappeared days before, approx jan 25-26 '22..returned daily to hang around with food, in hope of his return..before his disappearance, was familiar & seen daily by neighbor.. Tuffy disappeared totally, no one has seen him.. Believe he sensed change, as I had not been spending as much time with him, but still fed him 2x daily.. Worried he once again felt another human he befriended had abandoned him & may be sick, injured, hungry, frightened.. He is older cat, has had difficult life as stray, no permanent home.. Please let me know if he shows up in your yard..tuffy is savvy at seeking out kind animal feeding people, but will run away if people approach, making it difficult to get good look or pic to post..I won't give up..feel awful for not taking him to vet earlier.. What became of my feline friend? Where is Tuffy cat?
