Orange tabby cat found near Towne Square
Description
I found a friendly orange tabby cat with white paws outside the Kroger on Frederica Street, near Towne Square, this afternoon around 3:10pm. The cat is medium-sized, has bright green eyes, clean fur, and is wearing a blue nylon collar with a tiny silver bell. It has a small notch in its left ear and white socks on its front paws—really distinctive. It wandered near the parking lot, then settled by the store entrance, clearly comfortable around people. I gave it some tuna and a few pets, and it followed me for a moment before I brought it to a safe shaded area to wait for its owner. If this is your cat, please reach out so we can reunite you.

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.
