Please keep sharing, my boy is still missing & it is 8 long weeks now... We desperately want him home....

We recently moved to Stratford, down past the golf course & one of our cats - our black and white boy, Rascal is still exploring and may now be lost (since 6/5)...
He is 4 years old, neutered and chipped.
He may be trapped inside a garage or shed, so please check.
If you are aware that any neighbours have gone away, please also check their garages & sheds.
Please keep your eyes open and let me know if you see him. We are frantic to get him home safely.
