Orange tabby with blue collar lost near Salina Library
Description
I lost my orange tabby cat yesterday around 3pm after stepping out to grab the mail; he darted toward the alley behind the Salina Public Library on Iron Ave. He is a short-haired orange tabby with a blue collar and a tiny silver bell. He also has a white chest patch, a small notch on his right ear, and green eyes that look a bit surprised when he is nervous. He is generally friendly but can be wary of strangers, especially in loud places, so he might stay hidden under porches or near parked cars. We adopted him last year and he has become part of the family; the kids leave him drawings and he is really loved. If you have seen him, please text me or call; really hoping to bring him home tonight.

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.
