Cream guinea pig with brown patch
Description
Hey, I lost my cream guinea pig named Mochi yesterday around 5pm near the Fayetteville Farmers Market at Hay Street and Gillespie Street. She's a small female guinea pig, about the size of a hamster, with a smooth cream coat and a tiny brown patch on her back. She wears a light pink harness with a tiny bell, and there’s a distinctive white blaze on her nose and a small freckle on her left hind paw. Mochi is more than a pet to me—she helped me through some rough days, and I’m really hoping she’s safe and someone can bring her back. If you find her, please drop me a line at [email protected]; I’d be incredibly grateful.

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.
