Lost Orange Cat in Wilkes County Rest Area

My cat was lost on Friday at 9:45 am when we stopped to give him and my dog water and food at the rest stop in Wilkes County. He was on a harness and leash but managed to contort out of it and ran after being spooked by something at the rest area. He’s an orange cat with stripes and one clipped ear. He’s 6 years old and 11 pounds. He’s a bit shy but friendly with people.
