‘Coraline’ cat statue disappears from downtown Portland, organizations plead for its safe return

A giant cat sculpture has disappeared and the organization behind it is issuing a public appeal to return it.

KATU News reported about the 31 “Coraline” inspired cat sculptures that were placed around Portland in August.

The missing cat had been located near Southwest Naito Parkway, near the Portland Saturday Market, just south of the Burnside Bridge, the Portland Metro Chamber said.

Officials say the cat disappeared late Friday night or early Saturday morning.

The cats are a part of the “Coraline’s Curious Cat Trail” that celebrates the beloved film from Portland’s LAIKA Studios.

Each cat on the trail will be auctioned off as a fundraiser for OHSU’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
