West Hollywood Cat Returned After Video Showed Delivery Driver Taking Pet

The driver turned the microchipped cat in after seeing social posts, ending a neighborhood search.

Overview

  • Security footage from Sept. 27 captured a food delivery driver picking up Floki and placing him in the trunk of a Prius outside an apartment complex on Shoreham Drive.
  • Neighbors could not identify the delivery recipient from the video, preventing access to driver details through the app, and a $1,000 reward was offered.
  • On Oct. 10, the driver brought Floki to the West Hollywood Sheriff Station and contacted owner Emir Uckardes, reuniting the cat with his family.
  • Floki, a friendly six-year-old highland lynx/tabby mix, is microchipped and neutered and is known to roam the neighborhood.
  • A report remains on file with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and local coverage indicates no charges have been filed at this time.
