Any rat rescue in Phoenix will be happy to help out with whatever we can. I will PM you my phone number.

Oh Therese, thats so awesome of you. I too would like to offer my services. I don't have any room at the moment for any rats but if I can be a go-between if there needs to be a transport from California to...wherever, I'm in Las Vegas and I would LOVE to help. If there is anything else you need, well...just let me know.

I finally got the OK from the parental units, Now all I need is to set up a meeting. =] I've emailed you bluerats.

Okay I've emailed Wishing4Rats & Bluerats. I need to OK it with Wishing4rats but I'm hoping she'll be able to pick up my kids too =/ My Mom is more comfortable with going to Wishing's house to pick them up, And it's slightly closer to us then Santa Monica. Wishing, Contact me asap. And Bluerats, let me know about dates asap.

Thank you ALL I really appericate all the help & understanding in trying to get these boys to me. I'm off to order a martins XD.

Wow -- this is great, all the response!!

Now, Darren isn't taken, right?
 
  haha... Just Kidding... I'm glad you're getting him, Wishing4Rats; you seem very excited!

At this point, I think Helen Keller knows Darren is taken.

Re: the article - it was a little strange.  I couldn't understand the lab comment.  They just euthanize - not drop off on someone's lawn.  I wish reporters would speak with the correct people.

It sounds like there may not be much of a need for an LA run - besides the few people who have theirs on hold.  It would be great if they all found homes up there as we are bombarded already down here.

How are the adoptions going?  Have they all been placed?  We are filling up fast in So Cal as we will be taking more in on Sunday.  I was just wondering what the update was.

I can still meet up with you - no problem.  Are you driving down here on the 8th or on the 7th?  It will be easier for me to meet up with you on the 8th but if we have to do it on the 9th, I can manage it.  I was hoping you had placed most of them as I wasn't sure how many the groups down here could take.  You all have done a wonderful job.    

That just might work.  When are you available?  I'm supposed to go to San Diego to pick up 2 rats but I know Fenella lives waaaay down there so that might really help me as it will be a long day.

I just might forget to stop at your place and keep on going.  I'd hate to take those 2 rats away from you since I know you are so attached to them.   

Menag - Wait, I have to run them down there? (jog)  I thought I could drive them there.     Sorry, the Christmas sillies have gotten the best of me.   

And, Wishing4 - sing along - you'd better watch out, you'd better not cry, you'd better not pout, I'm telling you why - Darren rat is coming to town.

I will meet you and take the piggie and then meet Menagerie92117 in San Diego and she will get him to Fenella.  (Menag is with Wee Companions) I need to meet up with Menag so I can pick up some rats so we will meet up and do an exchange.  I guess we can PM from here and work out the details.
 

Update: 12/31/04
i went to the shelter this morning and we have very few rats left. 2 males and 5 females. the males are in the small animal room ready to go but the girls are still in the back. 3 are possible pregos and need another week to be spayed and the other 2 ladies are being treated for lice. we also have and additional 8 boys in a foster home (2 months old). so everything is going extremely well and hopefully everyone will be safe for a while. Darren is at my home ready for his trip to LA. Still itchy but happy to have real food.  Elle's 2 boys are still at the shelter in isolation waiting to be neutered on tuesday or wednesday. Shantidass, I talked to fenella and she is happy to take the piggy. Could you email me with your number so we can figure out a meeting place for next saturday? Thank you all for your help and if there are any other adopters in the LA area or san diego area (and can get to wee companions) let me know by monday. I'll give you another update before i head to LA. I really do appreciate all that you guys have done to help out. Without this forum we wouldn't be in the happy state we are in. thanks.
