There is a very thin light fawn or light orange tabby kitten around 5-6 months old with a ringed tail that has been meowing and coming up to people off of Horizon Run in The Village of Pennecamp. I know there have been some missing orange tabbies but this one appears very young. Very sweet and appears domesticated. Don't know it's sex, sorry.

Umm. ..Well, it wouldn't be QUITE so thin, if someone would feed it and if you petted it, it wouldn't meow so plaintively...but then you might just get real attached..........

Don't look at me. Sweetie says, one more kitty, one less Gracie.

I have three cats already .... can't handle a fourth or everyone will really be calling me "Cat Lady". This was the first evening it has been around. Just checking .....

Hi Wkogto,
Contact Community Watch and The Villages radio station. The radio station will announce it and maybe the sweet kitty will find his/her way back home. Thanks for posting.

I have rescued kitties and emailed or called every rescue agency in the area or even an hour away until I found one to take it. Then I gave a donation to help with spaying or neutering. I searched "animal rescue agencies central florida" and went from there. I agree it's work but these kitties can't help themselves.

There are many ferral cats running around Florida.

Sounds too young and loving to be a feral cat. Hope someone takes it in...

[ann8dote]

It sounds like a longshot..but I HAVE to ask...

please see pics of my lost grey tabby..he's small with an orange undercoat, so his color is very light. I have posted here under lost grey tabby, red collar.

If you think ANY chance could be him, please let me know. THank you! Am missing my little boy something terrible. And no, can't take a new one yet. Just looking for my little guy. thx!

Feral cats, even young kittens, do not come up to people and beg for food. This was someone's kitty got lost.

[Bonny]

Isn't there someone who is nice enough in the area to take this kitty in til an owner can be found or to take it to a shelter ? If it's friendly, it's probably not a feral kitty.

[wkogto]

I'm going back out this morning to see if it's still there .... did not see it late last night.

They will, if they have been fed before.

[wkogto]

The young cat/kitten is not around this morning .... if it shows back up, I'll try and catch it.

My experience is that the difference between a domestic cat and a feral (wild) cat is that the domestic cat or kitten will come up to you and enjoy being held.

AND...I have heard and read and experienced that you cannot domesticate a feral kitten.

[duffysmom]

Gracie you are so right. A feral cat can not be domesticated. I've had experiences with feral cats and they are forever wild (just like me).
