Gray tabby cat, green collar, missing yesterday
Description
I’m missing Milo, my gray tabby. He’s a medium-sized, short-haired cat with a white bib and a pink nose. He wears a bright green collar with a tiny silver bell, and there’s a notch in his left ear plus a white sock on his right hind paw—unique markers that help him stand out. We adopted him last year; he’s shy with strangers but incredibly affectionate once he trusts you. Yesterday around 5pm, he slipped out of the back door near the Bullring Shopping Centre on Corporation Street in Birmingham, West Midlands. This cat means a lot to me—he’s part of the family and has sentimental value. If you’ve seen him or picked him up, please reach out; I’d really appreciate getting him back home.

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.
