Gray tabby cat with blue collar missing near Bassett Place
Description
I’m Maria Gonzalez, and I lost my gray tabby cat yesterday around 3pm near the Target at Bassett Place on Gateway Blvd East in El Paso. He’s a medium-sized cat, about 10 pounds, with gray fur, white paws, and a white bib, and he wears a blue collar with a small heart-shaped tag that says 'Milo'. There’s a tiny notch on his right ear, and he’s usually shy by strangers but incredibly sweet once he warms up. This cat means the world to me—I've had him since he was a kitten, and I’m really worried he’s out there; if you’ve seen him, please text 915-555-0101 or email [email protected].

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.
