Kat0121 Kat0121 and kashmir64 kashmir64 I just looked and saw the black one up on site, for sale. Hoping you can get this solved and either get what you want, or maybe find it elsewhere. You might try looking for something similar on hauspanther.com because she has links to a lot of different manufacturers/sites/products. And there is kittywalk, too -- search that to see if you find anything you like. They have a lot of different enclosures.

I've followed companies all over cyberspace, sometimes to the void. Stuff comes and goes, to our eternal consternation. Best of luck, everyone, in finding something just right for your cats at a good price.

Very glad you came through that, @catspaw66 !

They are still insisting that it's out of stock regardless of what the website says. I still have the original playpen I got from Amazon. I was just getting a backup one because of the price.

Chewy has them, but they are a different brand and more expensive. However, Chewy's CS is awesome from what I hear.
Tractor Supply also has them. I've never dealt with either online site before.

Maybe they have to manually update their website and just haven't got to it yet?

Oxgord only has a "C" BBB rating, so I guess they aren't terrific. I was only ordering spares because of the good price so I'm not too broken up, as long as the refund goes through properly. On that note, I'm using the one I got from Amazon and it's great! I fully recommend it for young kittens. It's the same brand/same price as the one from TSC.

I'm sorry about Oxgord. I got mine directly from CAL Ranch and only pulled the web address from the item itself.
It is a great price, but price itself is not always a good thing.

I love Chance and pray they are serious when they say he will not be harmed! He is just living his alligatorly life, after all, and has every right to do so.
My mom's people were from around there. So I love it, too. She'd talk lovingly of the weather. From here in la-la land. :lolup: And she'd talk about her one dress and shoes she had to put cardboard in the bottom of, to cover the holes. So it's understandable, I guess. ;)

Alicia88 Alicia88 Didn't catch up on this thread for some unknown reason and am just now reading the updates on Shane. My *PRAYERS* for him and for all of you in his family are ongoing.
Everyone who's experienced losses recently, my *PRAYERS* and heartfelt condolences for your losses. May you be comforted in time by precious memories, and by the knowledge of reuniting with your loved ones in due time, as is promised to us.
And for everyone with injuries, illnesses and general maladies, *PRAYERS* and best, best thoughts for you.

Thing is, someone had to have put him there - it's not like alligators are native to the Chicago area, after all. But we shall probably never know who did. I'm just glad he was rescued safely and I also hope he is able to happily live out his days in a sanctuary.

Oh, yeah, absolutely on all counts. I do a lot of advocacy for banning exotic "pets". It's a HUGE industry full of abuse, neglect and worse, and most people are completely unaware of it. People have lions and tigers, and other nondomestic animals, in private homes. Some other people think it's "cool" -- it's NOT. It's horrific. So I've been advocating for #HR1380, the "Big Cat Public Safety Act" for years and will keep on until it's law.

I'm with you on most animals. However, most people don't realize that almost all aquarium fish are wild caught. One reason I get so angry when I see a Betta in a little viewing dish. Or Goldfish in a bowl. I wish people would just do research and learn to take care of them properly.
