Calico cat missing in Deep Ellum, Dallas yesterday

I lost my calico cat yesterday around 4pm near Deep Ellum Station on Elm Street in Dallas. She’s small to medium, mostly white with orange and black patches, and she wears a green collar with a tiny silver bell. She has a tiny notch on her right ear and a faint scar on her left hind leg. She tends to stay close but gets spooked by loud noises, so she’s likely hiding nearby in alleyways or behind storefronts. This cat means the world to me—she’s a rescue and has sentimental value. If you’ve seen her, reach out at [email protected] so we can arrange a meetup in Dallas.

White cat with orange patches, green collar

I lost my white cat with orange patches. I last saw him yesterday around 6pm near the Bishop Arts District in Dallas, right by Velvet Taco on Davis Street. He wears a green collar with a tiny brass bell and has a heart-shaped orange patch on his chest; his left ear also has a tiny notch. He's an indoor cat who usually sticks close to home, and this has me worried because he means the world to me. If you found him, reply to this listing or email [email protected]—he's really missed and I want him back.

Lost blue dog collar with silver ID tag for a dog named Buddy in the Trinity Park area near Fort Worth, TX.

I lost my dog's blue collar with a silver ID tag while walking in the Trinity Park area near Fort Worth. It might have slipped off when he was playing in the grass. The tag has his name, Buddy, and my phone number. I'm really hoping to find it as it's really important to us.
