Description
I found these three tiny kittens behind NewBo City Market on 11th Ave SE around 2:45 PM today while I was taking a walk after lunch. They are a trio of sweet pockets of fur — one orange tabby, one gray tabby, and a white kitten with a black patch — bright eyes and tiny noses. They were mewing softly and seemed a bit hungry, so I kept them in a safe spot near the market alley and offered them water. They are healthy and curious, and I hope the person who owns them sees this and knows they are safe for now.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
