Description ²

This black cat has been infrequently spotted at the Van Leer green space off Atlantic Drive and the Instructional Center. Possible resighting of a different West Campus black cat, but camera trap evidence suggests that they are two different individuals (i.e. they were both spotted at the same time at different locations). In April 2024 this cat was spotted near the parking garage near Dunkin Donuts along with Void.

Behavior ³

Recent observations of this cat have reported that they are incredibly skittish. They fled rapidly when a student merely approached their general direction. Sightings have been rather rare for this cat, but they have almost always occurred at night (after 9:00 PM).

Adoption Plan ³

Adoption for this cat will be impossible unless it allows human beings to approach it.

Theories ³

Black Cats:
This cat is speculated to be one of four black cats on campus. When taking into account this cat along with Void, the fraternity black cat, and Fishcake's sibling, four black cats have been documented on campus.
