Calico cat, Luna, lost in Bakersfield
Description
Hey, I'm really worried because my calico cat, Luna, disappeared yesterday around 3pm. She's about 9 months old, around 8 pounds, with orange and black patches and a white chest. She has a tiny pink collar with a small silver bell and a white heart-shaped patch on her chest. I last saw her near the Starbucks on 19th Street and California Ave in Bakersfield, and she darted into a little alley behind the shops, so she might be hiding. She's generally friendly but timid with strangers, so if you spot her please call softly and leave food near your door—she's my little shadow and I really need her back.

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.
