Thank you Lyra for the dapper rat link, it was really cute, I like it.
Nickel the guinea pig was first to be adopted. He was featured on our recent newsletter. His story was very sad.. but just turned happy. Nickel was found by an apartment tenant, he had been abandoned without food or water by his previous owners, and the owners had moved out a week before he had been found! He went that long without food , water, warmth, love .. it really is infuriating that anyone would leave their helpless pet without any care at all! I do understand if someone is forced to move and is unable to take their pet, but please PLEASE, make sure you find a home or someone to care for the pet until a home is found. I know that everyone who reads this blog would never do such a thing , I just wanted to write how I feel about that situation. It is amazing and a miracle that Nickle survived that long. He was a bit thin and very hungry and thirsty , but he bounced back into a very healthy and active piggy. And someone fell in love with his picture and story and had to adopt him, he was already a part of the family by the picture they saw :)
Next to be adopted is Chomper and Raphael the red eared slider turtles. Chomper had been with us for almost two years. The only reason she was difficult to place was due to her size. She's a BIG GIRL. She was ten years old when she arrived here, so that made her 12 years old at adoption. She's about the size of a dinner plate, maybe a bit bigger. And everyone that was interested in her over the years didn't have large enough enclosures to meet her needs. Then along came Raphael, he had been bumped from home to home at least four times, people just got tired of him or didn't want him anymore. Raphael was big too, not as large as Chomper but decent sized. Females of this species do grow larger than the males. I was told Raphael was 13 years old. Chomper and Raphael did bond together, many times I found Raphael basking on top of Chomper underneath the heat and UV light, like Chomper was a sunning deck. Happy news is, Chomper and Raphael were adopted together, YI pee!! I am so thrilled that Chomper has finally found her forever home and with her boyfriend in tow.
Then Envy was adopted. Envy is a female rabbit, she arrived here as a baby with Zachary and Anthony , her brothers. Soon after arrival, Zachary passed away under anesthesia, he had a foreign infection that circled his neck that didn't respond to any treatment, it was very difficult for us to bear. Next , Anthony was adopted and he is very much loved and has a girlfriend by the name of Layla. This left Envy, the last to be chosen, but she was still loved by us. She was skittish to be picked up by her new Momma, but she always has been afraid of being picked up. But then the uncanny happened, she melted into her new Momma's arms, she wasn't afraid anymore, it was meant to be :)
Yesterday, a Mom and daughter, who are fellow hamster lovers stopped by to help us with fostering hammies. Everyone knows that we are presently overloaded with hamsters. Plus there are two litters that are quickly growing up, they have fur now! They took home Power Puff Girl, Ben, Bart and Bill , and Ribbon, Lace and Thread. This helps me with having more room in the house for rescues and helps me with the amount of cleaning needing to be done. Foster families are always a blessing.
In just a short while , three sugar gliders will be arriving. They are on a road trip right now, they are coming from NJ. We are located near Buffalo , NY. It is snowy and slick right now, I hope they have a safe trip. I will give more details about each glider after they arrive.
Here is a picture of Chomper , Nickel and Envy.
Enjoy everyone, and have a wonderful weekend. I'll do my best to, even though I am working all weekend. Oh well, need to make the money for all the sweet critters.
