Gray tabby cat with blue collar, missing
Description
I lost my gray tabby cat yesterday around 3pm. He tends to wander near Main Street and Academy Street in Newark, Delaware, sometimes slipping into the UD campus area. He’s about 9 pounds, with a gray tabby coat, white chest, and a small notch in his right ear. He wears a bright blue reflective collar with a tiny bell and a heart-shaped tag that says 'MILO.' He also has a small white dot on his left hind paw and a tiny scar under his chin from a past scrape. I’m really worried—he’s my only pet and he needs his daily medication. If you see him, please contact me; he means the world to me.

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.
