Thanks for all the eyes! Giuseppe is home!

Plaza Midwood friends:
Please keep an eye out for Ms. Melissa Schropp’s sweet inside grand-kitty that escaped on Saturday if you are out walking the hood with the kids. He's a year-old tuxedo cat named Giuseppe, was last wearing a light green bowtie collar. This is her son's visiting cat, so he's in unfamiliar territory to begin with. He's a pretty social little guy and may come to you if you spot him. White nose/mouth, white chest and feet.
