URGENT UPDATE: A 6-year-old Tabby cat named Floki was kidnapped in West Hollywood, California, and the search for his safe return is intensifying. Surveillance footage captured the shocking moment on September 27 as a food delivery driver engaged with Floki before grabbing him and placing him in the trunk of a Prius.
The incident occurred along Shoreham Drive, just off Sunset Boulevard, and has left the local community in distress. Floki’s family and concerned neighbors are appealing for help in identifying the suspect, who has not yet been recognized.
In the video, Floki is seen interacting with the driver, raising concerns among residents who describe him as a friendly cat. Despite having crucial video evidence, neighbors have hit a dead end. They are unable to determine who received the food delivery and, consequently, cannot access the driver’s information through the delivery app.
The urgency has escalated as Floki is microchipped, making his safe return more critical. A $1,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to Floki’s recovery. Community members are rallying together, hoping that someone will recognize the driver or the vehicle from the footage.
Emir Uckardes, Floki’s owner, is urging anyone with information to come forward. He can be reached at 310-525-4308. A report has been filed with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at the West Hollywood station, who are actively investigating the incident.
As the search continues, neighbors are hopeful that their community can unite to bring Floki back home. The emotional toll of the situation is palpable, as families worry for the beloved pet and the impact on Floki’s family grows with each passing hour.
The clock is ticking, and the community is mobilizing. If you have any information, please act quickly to help reunite Floki with his family.
