Lost felines near Annapolis City Dock
Description
I’m posting this because my two cats slipped out when the back gate rattled open after sunset. On Friday at 7:15 p.m., I last saw them near the Naval Academy Gate 4 area, just above the water by the City Dock. One is a shy gray tabby with a white patch on his chest; the other is a small calico with bright green eyes. They’ve lived with me since they were kittens, and I’m worried they’ll wander farther if I don’t find them soon. I’ve checked the paths behind Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts and along the marina, calling their names and tapping a familiar tuna tin on the ground. I’m heartbroken and missing them terribly, hoping a friendly neighbor spots them 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.
