Clyde The Cat Returned After UWS Petco Theft: 'A True NYC Miracle'

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — In a bit of good news to start your week, Clyde the cat — who was snatched from an Upper West Side Petco at the beginning of October — has been returned to his rightful owners.

Clyde, who is a six to seven month-old black and white tuxedo cat, was snatched by a group of boys on Oct. 8 from a Petco on Broadway near West 92nd Street.

Animal Project NYC reached out to Patch to say that someone had let them know they had been given a black and white cat in a black carrier, and reached out after seeing fliers for Clyde hung up near West 125th Street.

"We had her text us pictures, and once we saw them we knew it was him," Carol Moon, the director of The Animal Project, told Patch. "Clyde’s safe return is a true NY miracle."

Clyde is now safe, healthy, and happy to be back with his foster siblings.

He is also up for adoption, and must go in a pair with one of his siblings, Inky, Blinky or Pinky.
