Description
I lost my calico cat yesterday around 3pm. She's a medium-sized girl with a mostly orange-black calico coat, white chest, and a tiny white tuft under her chin. She wears a red collar with a small brass bell and has a distinct notch in her left ear and a heart-shaped white patch on her throat. I last saw her near Battery Park Book Exchange on Rankin Ave in Asheville, darting toward the alley behind the Odditorium. She's my baby and really means the world to me; I adopted her last year and she's become part of the family; I'm so worried and missing her.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
