Now I feel so bad. I was finally able to leave a message on the rescue woman's anwering machine and she called me back and we had a very nice chat. Yes, Houdini is still available for adoption!!! .

The volunteer was referring to a woman who was supposed to be at Petsmart's adoption event last Sat. but she never showed up. The rescue woman said that my former roommate is still in the first spot for Houdini's adoption. Since they don't have an online adoption form, she's going to scan it into her computer and e-mail it to me tomorrow morning. Then I'll copy it and give it to my former roommate. She can then fax it back to her when she's done. This will save a lot of time during the interview/adoption process which is set tentatively for 9am on Sat.

She told me that the lady in charge of adoptions works with sleep apnea patients so it's hard for her to answer her phone calls. She's also dealing with some very sick kittens right now and several have already passed away. I think that there's only 2 left and one may pass away soon. They were found without their mother and were a little dirty but seemed to be doing well a week ago. Now they're all doing poorly and the last two may not make it. Please keep them in your prayers. I felt so bad when I heard this.

So now unless the interview or something on the application sets off a red flag. I'm sure that everything will go well. She also wanted to know if she could adopt 2 cats but I told her that it would then cost her an extra $100 a month. Right now it's $50 extra per month just for one animal and she'll have to sign a pet lease agreement. Pet friendly places sure do make it hard to have animals. This place used to not charge anything extra but then 1 cat did a lot of damage to a unit so they changed their policy.
