Description
I lost my cream-colored dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm. It's about 2 inches long, with soft cream fur and a small caramel patch along its back. It wears a tiny blue harness with a silver bell and a light tan heart-shaped patch on its belly. Last seen near the Dupont Circle metro outside the CVS on 19th Street NW, and it may slip into any crack or bin. This little guy is a gift and means a lot to me—if you spot him, message me and we can arrange a meetup.

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.
