Description
I lost my gray and white dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm. He was last seen near the West Side Market on West 25th Street in Cleveland, after I stepped out to grab a snack and left his blue plastic cage on the front stoop; the lid is a bit loose, so I think he slipped out. He has a white belly, a tiny black dot on his left ear, and a faint copper patch behind the right ear. His name is Niko, and he’s been with me for over a year. I’m really worried and would be grateful to anyone who spots him and lets me know.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
