Hello again,
Just a quick update-good news. The nice woman for New Yorkers for Companion Animals talked to the Exec Dir of CACC, who confirmed that a real person went in and filled out adoption papers on Tawny. (I was a little afraid that maybe they were just placating us.) Now she still has to go get him, pay the fee etc, but I am listed as a back-up just in case.

Also, she found out that they did Tawny's evaluation and he's a 2. 1 is best, but 1, 2, or 3 are allowed to be adopted. 2 just means that the animal needs a little bit of work, probably that he's shy, or "nervous," needs some training etc.

Things are looking up!
