Hello Friends! Our neighbors kitty has been missing for two weeks. She is a sweet black kitty (with a white chest), and her name is Sirius. She loves being an outdoor kitty and is VERY friendly! You might have seen her at the Dunkin Donuts off of 19 or the Lions Club across the street, in Tavares, Fl.
She had a collar with a tracker on but it was left behind. Thoughts are somebody took her because she is SO friendly and easy to love. But she has a loving family who misses her dearly! She is microchipped and spayed. If you find her or know of her whereabouts, please return her to the Lions Club pavillion or contact her owner Kaylin 321-591-8855. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Mount Dora, Florida's slogan is "Someplace Special." Restaurants, a thriving arts scene, and a plum perch on a beautiful lake are just some reasons this central Florida gem lives up to it.
