@wandering_spirit , your Loki is very handsome. Can you post more images of his size, or the size of his litter box? Is is one of those corner boxes? Looks like Loki will be about 7-8 lbs or more when he matures.
Oh gosh, Californians or an type of bunny, I feel they are wonderful quiet emotional support companions after those *%&# hormones get fixed!
Our sanctuary has rescued many and a couple years back we found an adopter for an unwanted Californian boy. The Californian was dumped outdoors with talon marks in his back (luckily he did not get picked up and dropped to crush all his bones*), plus he had an intestinal parasite that needed tx by our DVM.
*I just heard from our vet clinic about a Flemish who was picked up by a r.t. hawk then dropped, his hind bones completely irreparable. Person was unaware that hawks exist outside and are opportunistic predators.
Our rescue knows that shelters do euthanize if over capacity (online forums are CONSTANTLY advertising rehome needy pets) and no rescue in the area can accept more than physically manageable! I know a few in Florida that do their best to sp/euter, treat diseases, and find truly devoted homes).
I am happy to hear you and your husband know what it is like to have a baby who poos in diapers, spills things on the floor, or vomits on your clothing when sick or upchucks formula AND a toddler who gets into all kinds of trouble if you do not take appropriate steps. Sounds like you cherish your pets and will give baby hormonal jet-spraying Loki a good home! --- We had many episodes of jet-spraying males (right in your face with their urine!) and marking females prior to the sp/euter appt. at our DVM.
@samoth , you have words of wisdom wrt what babies, toddlers, and hormonal children or teens do.
wandering spirit, having pets (or children) teaches us patience and responsibility to care for another sentient being. We have a biter aggressive lionhead and she is finally mellowing and being less of an unruly child.
I look forward to more photos of Loki. Very relieved he will not be returned for meat or fur or breeding purposes. Kisses to baby boy Loki. If you need help wrt referrals for rescues, perhaps I can lend input.
