I found a gray tabby cat this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the public library on 18th Street in Scottsbluff, out in Nebraska’s Panhandle. It has white paws and a tiny notch in the left ear. It’s wearing a bright blue collar with a small silver bell and a tag that reads 'Mia'. The cat is about 8-9 pounds, looks healthy, and was a bit cautious at first but warmed up after a gentle scratch behind the ears. It purred when I petted it. It seems well-fed and clean, which makes me think it might be someone's indoor cat that slipped out during the last storm. I’d really like to reunite it with its person. If this is your cat, tell me the name on the tag or any identifying details (like a microchip number) and I’ll verify and arrange a safe meet-up. For now, the cat is safe with me.
