Lost & found small mammals in Altoona-Johnstown

Gray hamster in blue cage found near Walmart

I found a tiny gray hamster this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Walmart on Plank Road in Altoona. It was tucked inside a blue Habitrail-style cage with a little pink water bottle and a chew toy. The fur is clean but a bit muddy from the rain, about 4 inches long, with a white belly and a heart-shaped white patch on its chest, plus a tiny notch on the left ear. There’s no ID tag on the cage and I didn’t feel any microchip when I checked. I’d love to get this little guy back to his owner—pets like him mean a lot to families; if you think he’s yours, message me and we can arrange a meetup near the store entrance.
