LOST

Orlando (Mars)

Name:	Orlando (Mars)
Breed & Species:	Domestic long-haired cat
Colour:	Ginger/White
SimpleColour:
Went missing:	2 months ago (11 March 2025 at around 22:00hrs)
Location:	Kemble Road, Croydon CR0 4JQ, UK
Health:	Healthy
Age:	2 years old (approx)
Sex:	Neutered Male
Collar:	No
Microchipped:	Yes
Markings:	Freckle on nose
Circumstances:	Orlando (registered name Mars) likes to wander the local area and to get into people's houses, garages, cars etc. He was last definitely seen (by neighbours) at Wandle Park tram stop (2 mins walk from our house) at 10pm on Tues 11 March, though there was an unconfirmed report of him at the same location at 10pm on Thurs 13th. It's just possible he may have got onto a tram (he did try to once before). He's also extremely friendly, inquisitive and placid so may have been picked up by a stranger.
Other info:	Part Maine Coon - very tufty ears and huge fluffy tail. Amber eyes (but can just look black when pupils are dilated). Pure white underneath and white front paws. Ginger on back, with a white flash (roughly T-shaped). He's very curious and good-natured and loves people. He was wearing a green collar with our mobile number on but he has a habit of losing these (and it's well hidden under his long neck-fur). He's reasonably large but not huge - was about 5kg.
Our ref:	PR112790

It turns out Orlando had managed to get on a tram at Wandle Park (very near our house), and stayed on to the end of the line at Elmers End. He was found there a day or so later by a Croydon Animal Samaritans volunteer. They were initially unable to track us down as there was a problem with his microchip (now resolved), and an email I sent them with his details unfortunately went missing. However, in the end they were able to find us so all is well!
