Orange-and-white guinea pig with patchy fur
Description
I lost my orange-and-white guinea pig yesterday around 3pm after she squeezed out through a slightly open cage door. She's about the size of a small grapefruit, with fluffy fur, white belly, and an orange back. She has a tiny black dot on her right ear and wears a light blue ribbon with a tiny bell that jingles when she moves. I think she wandered toward Market Street and the Susquehanna Riverwalk, possibly near the Market Street Bridge or around the downtown Williamsport riverfront. I'm really worried—she's shy with strangers and this pet has sentimental value; it was my daughter's birthday gift last year, and it's hard to sleep knowing she's out there. If you’ve seen her, 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.
