Lost & found small mammals in Merced

Cream guinea pig with blue ribbon found near Starbucks

I found a guinea pig this afternoon around 2:15 pm wandering near the Starbucks on Main Street, by the Merced Mall parking lot. It's a small, cream-colored guinea pig with a faint white blaze on its chest and a bright blue ribbon tied around its neck. It seems healthy, curious, and a little scared, with fluffy fur and tiny pink paws. I scooped it up to keep it safe and warm while I try to find its owner. If you recognize a pet matching this description, please contact me; I'd love to reunite them.
