Otto the cat is missing. A large, 9-year-old tuxe Otto the cat is missing.

A large, 9-year-old tuxedo with a sweet disposition, Otto was last seen Sunday morning near the corner of Bliss Road and Wilbur Avenue in Newport. He lives just off Eustis Avenue and never usually strays far from home, which makes his disappearance especially worrying.

Otto’s family is heartbroken and desperately searching the neighborhood. They’re asking nearby residents to please check their garages, sheds, porches, and any quiet spaces where a scared cat might hide.

If you spot Otto or have any information that could help bring him home, please contact Taylor at 401-208-6363.

Every sighting helps. Let’s bring Otto home.
