OThousands of fans are worried about Larry and are offering suggestions on how to lure him back home. Some, as far away as New York, wish they lived closer to assist.

“I wished I lived closer; I would help look for him,” said Linda Wilson, a fan from the Empire State.

A local Instagram fan is actively searching for Larry.

“I look for Larry every day and pray for his return from his adventures,” user neconpas posted.

The Condo is the creation of Kevin Mohn and he employs his family in everything from cat care to online technical support as the cat’s YouTube channel surpasses one-million views.

Everything began with the appearance of Such-A-Good-Mama, Mama for short, who was feral and pregnant.

“She was kind of lingering close, but she wouldn’t get too close,” said Kevin.

The family dog Ellie, who has since passed, was still around the house and the actual Cat Condo was originally a dog house.

“We didn’t know if she had a disease or if she was starving so I went to town and got a can of cat food, opened it up and backed off and she came up and scarfed without breathing,” Kevin said. “She was starving to death.”

Kevin’s wife Jill took over feeding duties and a week later Mama was looking much healthier.

“And then one day, I looked and there were three heads popping up over the riverbank—they were her kittens,” Kevin said. “Little by little because of feeding they would come and go back over and now they’ve stayed and they’ve just been getting friendlier.”

The popularity of the YouTube channel continues to grow and voluntary moderators supervise the chat and are joined by thousands of followers keeping a wary eye on the condo cameras at all hours of the day.

All of those eyes are peeled for the hopeful return of Larry before winter sets in.
