Hey guys, I thought I'd introduce one of my newest rescues, Skyler.
A lady called me on Tuesday, and said that she needed immediate homes for some animals, as her 10 year old son was deathly allergic. Skyler, along with a rat, and two cats, were found abandoned. She cleans and guts out abandoned houses for a living, to make them ready for rennovation or to be demolished.
She was gutting out an abandoned house that was about to be demolished. It the back was an old barn, and she heard cats crying. She went out to investigate, and found two baby cats left locked in a kennel cage, a ferret left locked in a kennel cage, and a rat in a hamster cage, with its head severely stuck in some hamster piping.
The neighbor came over and claims he had been throwing the animals bread for about 3 weeks. Don't get me started on why he didn't call someone. The landlord of the house, (the previous owners were renting, from what we understand), came over a few minutes after the lady called him to explain the situation. He showed up with a shotgun and asked where she wanted them shot at. Of course, she argued him down and took the animals.
I took the ferret and rat, and the cats went to the local no-kill cat rescue.
The rat has head tilt from a bad middle ear infection, but I'm treating it. Skyler, the ferret, is shockingly healthy! She went to the vet yesterday to get her distemper and rabies shot, and a check-up. She's estimated at 6 months old, and weights a healthy 2 pounds.
I also rescued two rabbits from somewhere else,who were SUPPOSED to be put up for adoption, when a loving family couldn't keep them anymore. As soon as the family left, the rabbits were purchased for snake food. Of course, I intervened, and my friend Wendy took them to her rabbit rescue and put them up for adoption. If anyone needs a bonded pair of boy bunnies in the Louisiana area, check them out:

Here are some pictures of Skyler, she is SUCH a sweetheart and a lap ferret! As you guys can tell from the pictures, I went out and bought Skyler a huge 3 story ferret cage!
