Lost Breeds near Blennerhassett ferry dock

Friday around 6:15 PM, I realized my Breeds was missing along the Parkersburg riverfront near the Blennerhassett Island ferry dock. It’s a small weathered folder with a blue cover and my initials on the spine. I retraced the riverwalk toward Market Street, hoping the wind hadn’t carried it away toward the food trucks. I’m anxious and hopeful—this folder holds notes I’ve poured countless hours into, and I’d hate to lose it forever.

Blue budgie parakeet with red leg band

I lost my blue budgie parakeet yesterday around 4pm near Riverfront Park on Market Street in Parkersburg, right by the river walk benches. It's a small bird, mostly blue with a white belly and subtle black wing markings. It has a bright red leg band with the number 42 on it. This bird is the family's little chatterbox—my daughter named it Sky—and it means a lot to us, especially since we just moved here last month. If anyone spots him or finds him perched in a yard or tree, please reach out. We'd be forever grateful.

Dwarf hamster with gray fur, white patch

I lost my tiny dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm in the Parkersburg-Marietta area. He’s about the size of a ping-pong ball, with gray-brown fur and a small white patch on his left ear, plus a cream belly. Last seen near the Market Street entrance to City Park, by the gazebo behind the fountain, in a clear plastic cage with a blue wheel. He’s gentle and curious, and this little guy has sentimental value for my family—especially my 4-year-old daughter. If you’ve seen him, please reach out; I’d really love to have him back.

Grey tabby cat with orange collar, lost near Market Street

I lost my grey tabby cat yesterday around 3pm in the Parkersburg-Marietta area, last seen near the Parkersburg Library on Market Street. He's medium-sized, with a white heart-shaped patch on his chest and a tiny notch in his left ear, and he wears an orange collar with a small silver bell and a tag that reads 'Niko'. This cat means a lot to us—my daughter is really worried, and we've had him for over two years. If you spot him around Riverfront Park, along Market Street, or anywhere in town, please drop a note here so I can come get him.

I lost my pet hamster, Cookie, near the Parkersburg-Marietta area yesterday while I was taking her out for some fresh air in her little travel cage. She somehow escaped while I was setting up and I didn't notice until it was too late. She's tiny and very friendly, so if anyone spots a little white and brown hamster, please let me know!
