Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s missing beloved cat Emilio was found Tuesday following a frantic search through a wooded area in Vermont.
“We found him. Thank you to all of those who helped. I’m so grateful, beyond words,” Hilaria wrote around 2:50 p.m. local time alongside a photo of the wayward kitty safely back in his carrier.
“Emilio seems to have a broken leg, but he is alert. Fingers crossed he will pull through.”
The cat was found hours after a disheveled-looking Alec Baldwin, sporting a black shirt, pants and a scowl, searched through a wooded area in Manchester with a yellow cat toy in hand, photos published by the Daily Mail show.
The family is in Vermont after Alec accidentally fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie “Rust.”
In the post announcing that Emilio was back safely with the family, Hilaria also went on a rant in the caption and wrote she wouldn’t mention those who helped track down the cat because “the paparazzi and tabloid media are calling every single connection to us, and I don’t want you to be harassed too, in their frenzy to make more money.”
“As I write this, there are people, taking my picture, through the trees of the property we are staying at. They have not respected our ask to have space, even after the interview we pulled over to do the other day,” Hilaria wrote.
“We have been chased around in cars—with our children. Several scary moments…this is dangerous. Please listen.”
The Bengal was photographed in his carrier on Oct. 22 getting whisked away from the family’s Greenwich Village home, one day after the tragic on-set shooting — but it’s unclear when or exactly how the kitty went missing.
The Baldwin family has been holed up in the sleepy Vermont locale since the death, which has devastated Alec, 63, and left Hilaria, 37, concerned for his mental wellbeing.
The Bengal has been part of the family since he was a kitten after he was gifted to the couple’s 8-year-old daughter Carmen in April, Hilaria previously wrote on Instagram.
Bengal kittens, which are created by breeding Asian leopards with domestic cats, can cost as much as $3,000 and are known for their exotic looks, loving personalities and high needs for stimulation and play.
The cats are also hypoallergenic, which is a good thing for Alec as he is allergic to cats, Hilaria said previously.
Alec has yet to comment on Emilio.
