Davidsonville Business Owner Desperately Seeks Missing Cat

DAVIDSONVILLE, MD — When owner Steve Koza unlocked the door of Tropic Bay Water Gardens at 600 West Central Ave. in Davidsonville June 17, he was greeted by the friendly brown tiger tabby Miles who lives at the store. Miles darted outside, but sadly hasn't been seen since.

After calling his name and searching high and low for the feline at the end of business on Monday, Koza realized Miles was missing and now is frantically trying to find his pet.

"Miles is four, almost five. I've had him since he was one. He spent his first year on the streets of Baltimore right where the riots were. He's not afraid of other animals and will stand up to them. He is very street smart ... he is extremely friendly, sometimes too friendly," Koza told Patch in an email.

Koza is worried that Miles hopped into someone's car or the back of a customer's truck, or might have been stolen. He plans to scroll through security footage to see if they can figure out what happened to Miles.

"He's such an incredibly wonderful cat. All my customers love him," Koza told Patch. "He is an incredible animal. I love him so much!"

Miles should still be wearing a silver and black breakaway collar with a bell, his rabies tag and a black FOB on it. The rabies tag number is Lot #17417-10419 Tag #705. He also has a very small nick at the top of his one ears.

Anyone who has information about Miles can contact Koza at 410-340-2700 or [email protected].
