Lost hamsters near Falls Park, Sioux Falls

I’m Sophie Larson, and two little hamsters escaped from their cage yesterday evening in my apartment near Falls Park in Sioux Falls. I last saw them around 7:15 p.m. near the back kitchen door, but by the time I checked again they were gone, scurrying under the sofa and into the small gaps behind the radiator. They’re brown and white, with a tiny squeak that always makes me smile and a habit of poking their noses out when I call their names. I’m worried sick and would be grateful for any sighting near Falls Park’s Arc of Dreams or the surrounding neighborhood.

Orange tabby cat with green collar

Last night I lost my orange tabby cat with a white bib and a green collar with a tiny silver bell. She answers to 'Milo' and has a small scar on her nose and one ear that's slightly bent. I last saw her around 6pm yesterday near Falls Park overlook on North Phillips Avenue in Sioux Falls, but she tends to wander toward the bakery district near 41st and Louise. She’s a sweet, curious girl who’s microchipped, so if someone scans her, the vet can reunite us quickly. I’m really worried and miss her a lot—she’s been part of the family since she was a kitten.

Orange leopard gecko with speckles, lost near Falls Park

I lost my orange leopard gecko yesterday around 4pm near Falls Park, specifically by the Phillips Ave entrance and the pedestrian bridge. It's about 4 inches long from head to tail, bright tangerine with darker speckles along the back, and the tail has a tiny kink from a past scramble. There's a small white nick on the tail tip that will glint when it sheds. It's my kid's pet and has been part of our little family for months; I’m really hoping to get him back, he means a lot to us.
