Calico cat with blue collar near Garden of the Gods
Description
I lost my calico cat yesterday around 3pm near the Garden of the Gods Visitor Center in Colorado Springs. She's about 9 pounds, white chest and orange/black patches, and bright green eyes. She wears a blue nylon collar with a tiny silver paw-print tag, and there's a small notch on her left ear from a past scuffle. She's very gentle but can be skittish around new people. Last I saw, she slipped under the fence near the parking area by the Visitor Center and headed toward the red-rock trail. I adopted her last year; she's my only companion and has huge sentimental value to me. If anyone finds her, please contact me immediately—I'm really hoping to bring her 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.
