Description
Found this orange tabby cat this afternoon around 2:15pm near the gazebo at the corner of Main Street and Chautauqua Avenue in Chautauqua. It's a medium-sized, short-haired guy with white paws and a small notch in his right ear. He wears a blue collar with a brass bone-shaped tag that reads Milo. He seemed friendly and purred when I spoke to him, not feral at all. He followed me for a bit but settled when I sat on the curb. If this is your cat, please reach out with details about Milo’s collar tag or any distinguishing marks so we can reunite you.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
