Found felines near Milwaukee lakefront
Description
Friday at 7:15 p.m., I found two felines wandering behind the Milwaukee Art Museum along the Lakefront promenade. A calico and a gray tabby circled my feet, clearly hungry and curious after the light drizzle. I brought them to a sheltered spot behind a nearby cafe, offered water, and checked for collars or microchips, but there was no ID. They seemed well cared for, not skinny, and they stayed close to me as I walked toward the East Town area. I’m posting here because I want the rightful owner to reclaim them. If you recognize these felines, please reach out through the site with any details.

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.
