Lost gray tabby cat with pink collar
Description
Hi, I’m Priya Patel. I lost my gray tabby cat Milo yesterday around 3pm. He’s a medium-sized cat with a soft gray coat, white paws, and a pink collar with a tiny silver bell; there’s also a small notch in his right ear and a faint scar on his left hind leg. I last saw him near the Princeton Shopping Center on Nassau Street, between Barnes & Noble and the cafe by the bus stop, and I’m worried he slipped into a back alley behind the shops. Milo means a lot to me—this cat is my comfort here in Central NJ, and I’d really like him back. If you’ve seen him, please message me and we can arrange a safe meet-up in Princeton.

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.
