I have 6 beautiful little angel girls and haven't been sharing them.... Missed showing a lot of cute pictures but I'm gonna introduce them all anyway and hopefully stay on the ball when I catch especially cute pics..
July 5/07 Kelley came into rescue with 50 rats taken from a breeder in a cruelty investigation. All would all be euthanized if not taken from spca within 3 days. Amazingly SARS BC took and placed them all. Don't know her age. She came to me Aug 6 because "quote" She's got respiratory problems and it'll most likely be a chronic thing as she went without any treatment for far too long so her lungs are damaged... She's not really adoptable as it is as she'll probably have to be on meds for the rest of her life She came awfully noisy but I'm happy to say she has no breathing problems at all now and hasn't had meds since the 1st 2 weeks. So she came and lived with my Erin & Wanda, then Savanna too, and they all passed within a short time and she was alone for 3 days until Oct 3. She's a funny girl, she nips fingers but lets you kiss her and bruxes when I do this power-trip on her when she nips:
Oct 3 Astoria came with 4 younguns - She's my grande dame. Don't know how old she is - she came into SARS BC rescue oct '06 with 20 kin. Left at spca in filthy cages. A tumor-prone lot, most are gone now. She & her sisters Harriet & Wanda all had tumors removed Jan 22/07 but all had recurrences. My Wanda lived here Apr. 17 til till she passed full of tumors Sept 23. Astoria lived in fostercare with Harriet who passed Sept 15 and she was alone, so she came to live here, I sure see my Wanda in her sweetness, tho she's not as affectionate with me.
And the 4 younguns - Woman in Oregon evicted from her home had 40 rats all in 2 cages (sexes mixed). Troutdale Rescue in Oregon found out Aug 16/07 that they were sheduled for euthanasia at spca on the 18th and took them all and contacted other rescues.. SAR BC took 7 girls & 2 boys for Ratamataz who'd heard about the rescue and contacted her. I was told there were 2 old nekked girls I said I'd take. The girls all got spayed and went into foster care to recover.
Nekked Summer & Sumone turned out to be young - not old at all
same age as Ratamataz' boys - she made their birthdays July 10. I wasn't going to take them as I want to be a respite home, and they were young and adoptable.... but I'd already named them - and got psyched - you know ....
I lost 2 of my 4 girls waiting for them so when time got close for them to come and I knew 2 others girls were still unspoken for I asked about their chances of getting adopted soon and was told they weren't too good, being pink-eyed.
So as long as my life was going from relaxing with the old kids to constant on-guard with young-uns, what the heck if it's 2 or 4? My biggest problem has always been agonizing over tumors I can't afford to remove from kids who could have more time if I could, and these girls are all spayed so there's a big hopeful plus.
So Summer & Sumone (who I named right off the bat for mamarat's Summer & SARS Simone & Susan who looked after my Savanna when she went to Vanouver for tumor removal) and Fidget & Sugar (who their post-spay dad named - Fidget for me ) came Oct 3 with Astoria to keep Kelley company. :grouphug:
They got along beautifully (with a bit of guidance) from the word go. My 6 lovely ladies...

Older Kelley who came permantly damaged to live out her life in as much comfort possible here is perfectly healthy - not a bad sound out of her. .... And baby Summer who came healthy turned out to be the one tortured with bad breathing & forced meds.... go figure.
