STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A New Brighton woman is looking for her lost cat and it is a matter of life and death. Can you please help find him?

Rev. Terry Troia, the lost cat's owner and Executive Director of Project Hospitality, said, "My very sick cat is missing. I had workmen in yesterday and somehow a window pane broke. Tux crawled out pane last night after 9 p.m."

Tuxie was last seen on Rev. Troia's porch at 47 Scribner Ave. at 11:30 p.m last night by a neighbor. Tuxie was wearing a red patent leather collar that looks like a bow tie.

Tuxie takes five medicines daily for his cardio-myopathy and mega colon. Without his meds and special prescription food, he will perish -- but not immediately. First he will become very sick and die on the streets. He cannot eat regular food.

The beautiful black cat needs meds to make his colon work and has had two surgeries in the past six months.

Without meds, he is also in pain and will react defensively. Please don't try to pick him up.

If you see him, please call Rev. Terry at 646-523-7274. Thank you.
