Dwarf hamster lost near Meridian Library
Description
I lost my dwarf hamster, Nori, yesterday around 3pm. She’s tiny, about the size of a grape, with gray fur and a white belly, and she has a small black dot behind her left ear. She wears a light-blue harness with a tiny silver bell that jingles when she runs. Last seen near the Meridian Public Library on Main Street, by the coffee shop entrance; she darted into the shrubs by the library bus stop. If anyone in Meridian spots her, especially around Meridian City Park by the fountain or near Sutter's Pet Supplies on Meridian Ave, please let me know. She’s family to us; I’m really worried and would be grateful to get her back.

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.
