Found calico cat with blue collar near Cumberland Valley library
Description
Found a calico cat this afternoon around 2:15pm near the Cumberland Valley Library on Oak Street. It’s a short-haired calico with orange, black, and white patches, white paws, and a small white spot on the chest. The cat was wearing a light blue collar with a tiny silver bell. It looked a bit nervous but seems healthy—I offered water and a bit of tuna and kept it close while I scanned nearby for a microchip. If this is your cat, please text or email with a distinguishing feature or a recent photo so we can meet up in Cumberland Valley, possibly by the library steps or the CVS on Market Street.

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.
