PARSIPPANY — Capone, aka Mr. Kitty, is an indoor/outdoor cat. He got out without his collar, on Saturday, September 22, and is believe someone may have mistaken him for a stray or as being abandoned. He is the friendliest cat in the world and will walk right up to anyone and plop on his back as if he’s demanding you to rub his belly. He’s been a part of the family since we got him from the Parsippany Animal shelter as a kitten almost ten years ago and is a celebrity in the Dartmouth Village apartment complex.
The neighbors last saw him around 4:00 p.m. on September 22 and was noticed missing around 8:00 p.m., so it is believed he was taken between these hours. Being an indoor/outdoor cat, it’s difficult to keep him inside. So if a nearby neighbor had him in their apartment and let him out, he would have come home by now. For this reason, it is believed he may be out of the area. The owners put signs and posters all over Lake Hiawatha and have ads on Facebook and Craigslist.Myself, my other cat – his brother, and the extended community are really reeling from this loss as he was quite a character. The owner is offering a $300 reward for his return.
Anyone with information on a cat taken from the Dartmouth Village vicinity, can call the owner directly at (973) 602-7290, or drop Capone off at my apartment at 270 Baldwin Road, Apartment F20.
Alternatively, they can drop him off at the Dartmouth Village leasing office and he will walk home to his home.
