Description
Last night, around 11:30 p.m., I realized my kittens were missing after I stepped out of a late dinner near Grassmarket. I wandered the lanes of Edinburgh, calling their names and peeking under benches by Victoria Street, hoping they’d wander back. My heart is pounding as I think of them huddled somewhere cold or frightened, and I’m trying not to panic. One is a tortoiseshell with a brave little face, the other a fluffy grey tabby—siblings who stick close to each other. If anyone spots them, please keep them safe and tell me through the site; I just want them 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.
