 Due to housing difficulties his owners could not keep him temporarily and so he will stay with us until they are able to take him back. They did not want to place him or give him up , but also knew he needed a place to live with the best of care.
It will be ineteresting to see how he and Zoey get along!
 
 So far she is mildly interested- curious as to what is making the same cage protective noises she does.
 
 
UPDATE on our 75 rescued critters from the Texas SPCA in the Global Exotics Case and the new ratty colony!

The three ratty girls with tumors had surgery this week and came through with flying colors! They are recovering nicely! One is spoken for and the other two may be available for adoption as well.
We need donations to help cover the expense of the operations!
