Description
I lost my gray tabby cat with white chest yesterday around 7:15pm near Ballast Point Park along Bayshore Boulevard in South Tampa. He wears a green collar with a small silver bell, and he has a tiny crescent scar on his right ear and white paws that twitch when he purrs. He’s microchipped, and I’m really worried because he’s been with me since he was a kitten; this cat is my little emotional support and he’s part of the family. If you’ve seen him, please contact me—he tends to respond to his name 'Milo' when you call softly. Any help is so appreciated.

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.
