A resident in Byron noticed a cat carrier on her porch on Friday. The door was open and when she took a quick look inside, there was no cat.
She left the tan carrier, with a black handle, on the porch not thinking much of it until today when she looked inside and found a male black and white cat.
The unneutered cat is about 9 months old, said Animal Control Officer Agie Jaroszewski.
The cat has apparently been going in and out of the carrier since being abandoned.
Jaroszewski said there was a blanket in the carrier but this morning it was covered with snow.
The cat is now warm and safe at the shelter.
If anybody knows who abandoned the cat, call the Sheriff's Office at (585) 343-5000.
