Grey tabby cat with white paws near Utica Public Library

I lost my grey tabby cat Milo yesterday around 3pm. He’s a medium-sized guy with white paws and a tiny white heart-shaped patch on his chest, and he wears a light blue collar with a small silver bell. He slipped out from the back door near the Utica Public Library on Genesee Street and wandered toward the canal path; he also has a slight limp on his left hind leg. Milo isn’t just a pet—he’s a gift from my grandmother, and I’m really hoping someone spotted him and can help bring him home; if you’ve seen him, email me at [email protected].
