    Default Animals sense that I'm a sucker (Rat)

    I was hanging outside in the hottub having drinks with some friends when an albino rat ran up to say hi (it's a sunken tub, so it was by our heads). My first reaction was "eek!" but my bf pointed out that it was a pet rat since it was albino. I could tell he was correct because it was trying to be friendly. So, my friend picks it up and I take it upstairs and put it in a cat carrier with some water, paper towels, and two dishes of cat and ferret food. (Um, and out of reach of both of those pets of mine.) Get this, someone had dyed this rat with pink and blue spots. Anyways, I put a sign in the complex's laundry room and I put an ad on craigslist. The thing is, I can't keep this rat. I have no desire to keep this rat. I already feel like I'm running some sort of zoo with my blind kitten and my ferret and I just don't have the room. She's really sweet and will just sit on your shoulder and do the teeth grind-chatter thing.

    So, I'm going to pick it up some actual supplies tonight for the time being but if no one claims this rat, I don't know what to do with it. I can't take it to the pound. No one adopts rats from the pound. I can't seem to find a rat rescue in San Diego. I'm spreading word through the grape vine in case anyone wants her... Anyone have any ideas? Anyone want a pet rat?

    Bella, I feel you both people and animals know that I am a sucker thats how I just got dog number two...

    Hm. Since you don't want to keep it I say just post and ad asking the original owner to come forward on Craigslist and then if nobody responds in a week or so post another one saying the pet is available.

    Yeah! Where is Collette Calahan??? I'll take it if nobody else wants it but I really don't want to make the drive to san diego. I would give it a good home though.

    Maybe, but sometimes animals die in shipping. I have another idea (possibly?) I don't know if it'll work. People fly to vegas all the time: if you went to the airport when a flight was scheduled for vegas maybe you could ask somebody to take it on the plane with them. I don't think the airline will even charge them anything if they take it in a little plastic box or something as their carry-on.

    Then when they get to vegas, I can go meet them at the airport. I'll give them a little cash for their trouble and even give them a ride to their hotel if they want, so they don't have to take a cab. I don't know- what do you think? Let's see if collette callahan wants it first... It sounds like a very sweet rat by the way. And smart!

    Ha! For serious! "Hey look, people! Hold me, love me, take care of me, save me! For the love of... there are cats around here!"

    I am actually planning on hitting Vegas... just not until the end of next month. Hey, for all I know, the actual owners will answer... It just seems that if you lose your pet, you check the ads or something. When I found a lost dog, it took less than an hour for the owner to find my craigslist ad.

    Okay, someone agreed to take it. He's a friend of my bf's with a wife and kids. They don't own any rats but they love them.

    OH! I'm just seeing this!! Glad you found a home... (that's really good of you!) if it doesn't work, there IS a rescue lady right around here (I got my current rat Omri from her after Adiran died) and she would probably take him... PM me if this family doesn't work out and I'll try to make arrangements. Good luck!!

    He showed up with his daughter and the rat ran up to her shoulder and refused to leave... and there wasn't even a, "So, this is ok? You want it?" discussion, lol. That was that.

    double-awww i love a happy rat ending
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?
