Grey tabby cat with blue collar
Description
I’m really worried—I lost my grey tabby Milo yesterday around 3pm near the Manchester Arndale on Market Street. He’s a short-haired cat, about 4kg, with a white patch on his chest and white paws, green eyes, and a tiny notch in his left ear. He wears a blue nylon collar with a tiny brass bell that jingles when he moves. He tends to disappear into back streets, so he could be anywhere between Exchange Square and the bus station near Piccadilly Gardens. Milo means the world to me; he’s been my companion through a lot, and I’d be over the moon to have him home soon. If anyone spots him, please email me at [email protected] or drop me a message here.

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.
