Calico cat with green eyes missing near MU campus
Description
I lost my calico cat, Mochi, yesterday around 7pm. She's a small, short-haired girl, mostly white with orange and black patches, green eyes, and a pink nose, and she wears a purple breakaway collar with a tiny silver bell. Last seen near the MU Campus Student Center by the Columns on University Ave, she tends to bolt into alleys when scared, so she might be hiding somewhere in that area. She has a small white heart-shaped patch on her chest and a tiny notch in her left ear—easy to spot if you see her. This cat means the world to me and this loss has me really worried; please email [email protected] if you’ve seen her, and I can meet in Columbia anywhere near Broadway, the MKT Trail, or the Student Center.

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.
