Calico cat Luna with orange collar
Description
I lost my calico cat Luna yesterday around 3pm after I pulled into the Stearns Wharf parking lot off Harbor Way in Santa Barbara. She's a medium-sized cat, mostly white with orange and black patches, and she wears a bright orange collar with a tiny silver bell. She has a white toe on her right front paw and a small scar above her left ear. Luna is shy with strangers but incredibly affectionate once she warms up, and she means a lot to me, she has been a quiet companion through some tough times. If anyone sees her near State Street, the Santa Barbara Mission area, or around the Santa Barbara Zoo, please contact me. I am really worried and would be grateful to be reunited.

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.
