Free adoption day at a shelter
I had to pick up more meds for Leroy today. I brought along some donations for the attached shelter. Turns out the shelter was waiving adoption fees for small animals for the day. I dropped off my donation and went to see the small animals. Just to "look" but you know how that usually goes Long story short, I wound up adopting a mouse The application was easy. I'm surprised no one questioned why I wanted to adopt a mouse when I have two cats. I've had mice before so I'm know how to care for them and all that. I still have the mouse cage and accessories from my last trio.
Leroy and Emma have zero interest in mice. They seemed interested when I put the mouse into his new cage (box, really. It's a modified storage box) but then lost interest. I would like guinea pigs (plenty of them at the shelter) but I have no space for a cage and I don't know how the cats would react to a critter the size of a football. They've never been around anything larger than a gerbil.
My new furry addition is an approximately 7 month old lilac male. He's been at the shelter for 3 months. His original owner no longer had the time to care for him. Well, mousie will get plenty of attention now
