Gray tabby cat found near Campus Martius Park
Description
I found a gray tabby cat this afternoon around 3:15 p.m. near Campus Martius Park, along Woodward Ave by the old Book Cadillac building. It’s a medium-sized cat, about 9 pounds, with a white heart-shaped patch on the chest and a slightly crooked left ear. The cat is wearing a blue collar with a tiny silver bell that jingles when it moves. It was a bit skittish at first, but warmed up once I spoke softly and offered a little tuna. I didn’t see any ID on the collar, and I’ve kept him safe in a quiet corner nearby while I try to reach the owner. If this is your cat, DM me with distinguishing marks to confirm it’s yours.

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.
