As the title says, we are looking for our polydactyl cat Kunami, and I believe a small group of people or person that lives in my community could be inhumanely trapping any cat they catch (mine and who knows how many others + strays) and dumping them in places they have zero chance to survive. Kunami disappeared sometime in the early morning of 6/4/26 near S 222nd and 24th Ave S. It has now been 6 days of searching. Kunami’s description: polydactyl black domestic shorthair, yellow goldish eyes, smooth fur, 16lbs, MICROCHIPPED (was not able to verify if vets ever scanned him but updated info) neutered. Vocal. From the beginning, we have been living in this apartment for around 3 years now and adopted our cat from RASKC in 2024. Some time later, strange neighbor that my wife had met around our section and talked to one or two times, and eventually stopped ever walking her dog around our section of the complex. A month ago a note was taped on my front door around midnight. The letter stated: “People around here are catching cats & driving them far away to drop them off. They don’t care who’s cat.” We found out the next morning that it was the strange woman from before and she gave us very confusing explanations about how she is around a group of women that set up traps and take cats away even if they aren’t a stray and they abandon them by dropping them off in places that they have no way to escape and that she is basically a good person for telling us. The conversation went from intense on questioning why she would leave a note like that and if it was a threat, to deescalated and apologizing but explaining that we care about our animal. I did not want to incite some kind of on going conflict so I tried my best to make sure there wasn’t any static. After that happened, we decided it was probably her seeking negative attention so we decided to let go of it but to keep our eyes open. The morning of the disappearance the woman who wrote the letter was near our apartment again as well as in the afternoon this immediately made me remember the letter and that has led me basically to a vague understanding that my cat’s disappearance was deliberate and calculated. I have tried to reason with the people I feel so strongly were involved and they can’t even level with me where I’m basically telling them I don’t want anything from you I just want my cat and we will leave this apartment ASAP. Nothing, withholding life critical information. I have been trying to just refocus as if he were just at another persons home but I can’t after this experience I see where people aren’t honest and do really twisted things when no one is looking and I probably won’t ever see my cat again. What I seek is closure with Kunami, and closure that no other cats are going to be cruelly left to die. The mutual emotional toll and emptiness is overwhelming between my wife and I. I am asking if anyone has any advice, information, or where abouts on Kunami, even some suggestions for areas to check that a potential cat dumper could go. I will attach pictures of the letter and Kunami below. If you have any information please email me at: [morris8895em@gmail.com](mailto:morris8895em@gmail.com) submitted by /u/Feisty_Phrase9801 |
