Guinea pig with gray-white fur, pink bell harness
Description
I lost my guinea pig yesterday around 3pm. It's a small, shy guy named Mochi, about the size of a grapefruit, with gray and white fur and a tiny pink harness with a silver bell. The last time I saw him was outside the Kroger on Willow Avenue in Cookeville, near the parking lot by the little gas station. He loves to chew on cardboard and gets skittish around crowds, so he might be hiding under shrubs or in a cardboard box somewhere nearby. He has a distinctive white stripe on his forehead and a tiny scar behind his left ear from a minor scrape. This little guy means the world to my daughter; he's our cherished pet with sentimental value. If you've seen him or picked him up, email me at [email protected]

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.
