Help Find Niko: Lost Black Cat in San Diego

Amherst Street, 6895, San Diego

Lost Cat Report — Niko Name: Niko (spelled with a “K”) Species/Breed: Domestic short‑haired cat Color/Markings: Solid black coat, no white markings Sex: Male Age: Adult Size: Medium build, though may appear thinner now due to stress and weight loss Eyes: Green/Yellow (people describe them differently, but they reflect brightly at night) Identifiers (at time of disappearance) • Harness: Lavender/purple harness (thin) • Collars: Purple stress collar and white flea collar • Leash: Green tether leash (was attached, now missing) ️ Important Notes • Gear may be missing: Niko has slipped out of harnesses before. If he has lost weight, the harness and collars may have come off. No sightings have mentioned a purple harness—not even on deceased cats or discarded gear. • Behavior: Trauma‑sensitive. He hides, shuts down, and does not meow for strangers. He only responds to his owner’s voice and rhythm. Loud noises and unfamiliar humans may cause him to go silent or flee. • Bond: Deeply attached to his owner. He grieved after his companion cat Nika disappeared and found comfort in daily shrine rituals. • Survival: Strong instincts. Has traveled up to 9 miles while missing. Likely drawn to dumpsters, porches, and food corridors at night. My baby boy Niko is still missing it's been 19 horribly long painful days please I beg of you I have nobody all I had was that cat and he means the absolute world to me. I have nerve damage in my legs from chemo so walking is limited but I'm out here every night i'm an absolute pain and I will continue doing so i'm trying to follow the leads from what I've gathered maybe hopefully is that he was in City Heights until the 14th i've been looking there but I haven't seen any posts since so maybe he went North Park or or surrounding area but Even if you're not a surrounding area and you've seen a black cat maybe timid maybe for anxiety Roman trying to get food whatever the case is please let me know please share this so I can get him home I don't want to go to maze society where they can probably try to keep my kid here or problem i've been trying to I've been looking there II need help I need help I need you guys to help me please I can't stop crying Please help me Please help me get my baby back home. Although he's wearing a harness in the poster, he's been able to get out of his harness and collars before I had to keep them tight enough where it didn't hurt but if he is sitting there losing weight out there by himself he could easily have gotten out of those he is a sore Black Hat but he has a white vertical hairline in between his thighs on his tummy Please help me.
