Grey tabby cat with blue collar
Description
I lost my grey tabby cat, Kai, yesterday around 5:30pm. He's about 9 pounds, with white paws and a white chest, and he wears a bright blue collar with a tiny silver bell. I last saw him near the Boise Public Library on Capitol Boulevard by the State Capitol; he bolted when a dog barked and disappeared toward 8th Street. He’s usually friendly but a bit skittish with strangers, and this cat has sentimental value—he's kept me company through a rough year. There’s a small notch on his left ear and a faint white splotch on his right hip you might spot in photos. If you find him, please text me ASAP; I’m really worried and just want him home.

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.
