Calico cat, lost near Main Street in Roswell

I’m posting because my fluffy calico cat Mimi slipped out this afternoon and I can’t find her. She’s a medium-sized domestic short hair, white with orange patches and a distinctive black tip on her tail, and she wears a pink collar with a tiny bell. I last saw her yesterday around 3:45pm near the Cup & Kettle cafe on Main Street, just north of the Roswell Museum and Space Center. Mimi is a rescue and means the world to me—she’s loved and I’m really worried, so please message me if you’ve seen her around Roswell.

Cream-colored dwarf rabbit with blue harness

I lost my cream-colored dwarf rabbit yesterday afternoon around 3pm near the Roswell Public Library on Main Street. It's a tiny bunny, about 2 pounds, with soft satin fur, and it's wearing a blue harness with a tiny silver bell. It has a distinct grey patch behind the left ear and a tiny white dot on its right hind foot. The rabbit means the world to me; it was a gift from my late aunt, and I'm worried sick. If anyone spots him, please text me; I'd really appreciate getting him back safe.

Blue Rabbitgoo No-Pull harness with reflective trim

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my blue Rabbitgoo No-Pull harness was missing. I’d last used it while we were walking along Main Street by the Roswell Museum and Art Center, near the corner of Main Street and 6th — right beside a small coffee stand. It’s a size M, navy blue with bright reflective trim and soft neoprene padding; the leash clip is a dull silver. On the back strap there’s a small white paw-print sticker and a tiny seam fray from wear. It was a gift from my rescue group, and it means a lot to us to get it back.
