Gray tabby cat with orange collar near Old Port
Description
Hey, I'm Amina Hassan in Portland, Maine. I lost my gray tabby cat yesterday around 5:30pm near the Old Port, especially along Fore Street by the Portland Fish Exchange. He's a medium-sized cat, about 9 pounds, with an orange collar and a tiny silver bell that still jingles when he moves. He has a small white patch on his chest and a faint scar on his right hind leg from a playful tumble last summer. I'm really worried—he's been my companion since I adopted him as a kitten, and the apartment feels empty without him. If anyone finds him, please message me in the app so I can come grab him quickly.

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.
