Kinder is located next to the front driver side tire of a car in some wreckage to the left of where you placed the injured citizen on the gurney. Interact with the cat to rescue it.
File 02
Walnut is located around the part in the story where you have to save the group of people from the chimera. After the battle instead of following the path down the alleyway where the giant hand is waiting, head to the opposite side past the Coffee Shop to find another alleyway. At the end of the alleyway is a dead end with the dumpster containing the cat. You will need the Arm Legion to open the dumpster.

File 05
Smee can be found in the subway after you rescue the Shaken Woman and Injured Man during the Out from the Smoke blue side case on the bottom level underneath a yellow bench near track 3. To reach Smee, head to the middle platform on the top level of the subway with the officers. From there, head past the vending machines towards the third wounded civilian and enter train car 6 (across from third wounded civilian). Work your way through the train car, avoiding the lasers until you get to car 4. Exit car 4 and head to the platform on the bottom level to destroy the bulb. This will remove the lasers blocking access to the rest of the cars. Return to the train car and head to car 2. Exit car 2 and take a right to find the cat under the first yellow bench on the platform.

File 07
Nero can be found on a large rooftop A/C unit. After exiting the elevator, head to the helipad where the homunculus fight takes place. Instead of taking the ladder up to the helipad, head around the building on the left (facing the helipad) to find another ladder you can shoot down using the Arrow Legion. Climb up this ladder and chain jump to the adjacent roof. Head left until you are across from the helipad then drop down on the A/C unit below to rescue Nero.
