Where in MD do they have transport to?  And when might  this take place?

*edited because I can't spell...lol

Okay, here goes...  My trip to New York is surely scheduled now for September 19th-26th.  I will be staying in Rochester, but the whole reason we're going up (well, I'm going to visit friends) is that my friends Sarah's mom is going to a class on the new computer system the Suffolk library installed.  She's the assistant director for the city's libraries, and they are sending her up for this.

Anyways, I will prolly be driving her (she can't drive anymore) and I know she loves rats as much as I do.  I am not sure where in NY she is going for the class, I only know where I will end up.  I know Rochester is kind of on thw wrong side of the state, but hey...  I am getting them that far, it should count for something!     Sooo...  Yeah.  My friend Jen can prolly keep them for a little bit, if anyone needs a little more time than I will have up there to come pick them up.  (I can even ask Jen if she would be able to drive 30 minutes or so somewhere...)

Please let me know if this is feasible, I don't want to waste a trip over such a distance when I could be transporting rats!!

Rochester is about 8 or so hours from me.... If I could go that far, I'd just go down to MD and pick them up.  But I don't want the ratties to end up in Rochester with no foster home there, or without transportation east from there.   

I definately could get to Arlington.... I am going to be away from the 28th of August through Sept 7th, but before or after that is great.....

Yay! Ok, so I'll try to get them HERE within the next week. They have not been around other rats or small animals and are healthy, so I'll have no need to quarantine them. Then when ever Rattie wants to pick them up, she can. I'll have Marissa call Erin tonight or tomorrow. And as soon as they get here, I'll post pics.   

Erm, I think we had some miscommunication.     Musichick will be in Rochester, but she is traveling in August, and I don't go up until September!  I misinterpreted her post as a reply to mine, as in the dates she mentioned (I thought her dates were in response to me saying I would be there the third week in September...)

So...  now what?   

I live in Northern MA and I too would also love to see these guys go to a good home.  I can drive anywhere within a 2.5 hour radius.  CT, ME, Western MA, anything you want just let me know.

Well, I am still going north in September...  If someone can meet me off the interstate and head west to OK, then that would work. 

Here is a post I found:
I can travel just about anywhere in the South, as long as I don't have
any major classes and I can get off work. I'd rather not go farther than
East: Memphis, TN, North: St.Louis, MO, West: Oklahoma City, OK, and
South to Bossier City or Monroe, LA. I could go to Dallas, too. I like to
travel. As long as I can get there and back within 24 hrs and I have
plenty of notice, I'll go anywhere ya'll need me to.

So is that person willing to go to Raleigh NC? That would work out great. Where did you find that post? And have you contacted the person yet? Sounds like it might work out. Sorry Blu, we tried. These ratties just need a home. And thanks for offering them a home. But like you said, if it's easier to get them to OK, then so be it. Yay for the ratties.

I am still bugging Marissa to get them over here, they may possibley be here by tomorrow as she is going to a party tonight with Erin, for Erin's B-Day. So I'll ask her to pick the ratties up when she drops Erin off at home. Then I'll post pics.

Oh and when can this person get them? I can't have them here too long as the landlord is gonna be showing the place in Sept. (we're moving in Dec.) so I can't have another cage. We already have 4 rat cages between my room-mate and myself. We told him we only had birds and fish and turtles.
Most landlords are turned off by rats, so we didn't mention them. Anyway. Depending on when (s)he can get here, that would work out great.

Here is the most recent reply I have gotten from the lady willing to help!

I would be happy to help with the transport.    My
school starts on the 30th of August, so if it isn't
before that, it would have to be on a weekend.  I know
Thoma is in Little Rock, and I believe she would be
willing to help with the transport (she's on the
list).  If someone could bring them to me in Memphis
(I might be able to meet themjust east in Jackson, but
it would depend on when the transport was), I can take
them to Thoma in Little Rock, or whoever else wants to
help.  Can you find out how their health is?  If they
have not been around any other rats, and the people
they live with haven't either, I can keep them
overnight.  If other rats have been in and out of the
house, or if one of the humans they live with has been
around other rats, they could have something and I
cannot let my rats be exposed.  I could ask my cousins
if I could leave them at their house overnight, if
necessary, that way they wouldn't be in the same air
space as mine.    Good luck getting something set
up, and let me know when/where to be if you can get
the transport set up.

BUMP!

Do we have any volunteers to bring them to Memphis? Anyone heading that way? Or even to East Jackson? Come on, we've done way better than this before.
I can only drive them about an hour or so which doesn't help much, unless someone lives an hour or so away and wants to pick them up from me and take them to Memphis. . 

Bump again...
