Hey Ya'll! I have tried calling the Shelter that has this guy...no answer. Have no idea if he's still alive, how long,he has, etc. Someone saw him on Petfinder and thought it was MY YOGI!!!! I reported him to Ratbones . com address and some local rescues.No response as yet. http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=10090471 SOOOO hope someone can rescue him! He looks so frightened and lost.

Hey Everyone! I did hear from Caroline of Ratbones but have not heard back...she was going to send the info to her Georgia person. The poor little guy needs a home ASAP...the shelter IS a kill-shelter. I have managed to contact one local rescue group (Savannah's oldest) and they said they could spring him, but have NO foster homes for him to go to. I told them I might be able to be a temp foster if that is possible. Only concern I have is that Yogi is new to the house, just acclimating, and dealing with the still ongoing Cat "situation". Is anyone out there near Georgia, and might be able to help me find a home for poor Benji?

I'm so sorry, I don't live closer... Will the shelter take any donations to sponsor him until he can be rescued?

UPDATE!!! Ratbones contacted me as well as the County Shelter about Benji. Also our local Rescue group Save-a-Life called me and they were going to spring him if I would agree to temp foster him...they have no more homes at this time. I told them I would if it ended up a matter of Life & Death. (Funny...the Shelter insists he is a Jack...Jeez! LOOK at him! He's definitely a Rat! ) Turns out...the local Humane Society got him today. Maybe not good since the Rescue groups told me the Humane Society (here) does euthanize if the animal is Heartworm positive. Most of the private rescues treat if positive...unless too old, or too infested. Apparently, our Humane Society has a larger kill rate than the local SHELTER! But the local shelter has a relatively new guy who started showing the shelter rescues on Petfinders, and even holds "adoptables" waaaay past the 5-day shelter rule! Good man! VERY! So Benji's fate is in another's hands. Ratbones was quick and great!! I have offered to be transport volunteer...and, when we all have settled in here, I might consider fostering...since there are so few in this area. Right now Yogii is passed out...already had the (once daily) fight with the Alpha Cat, ran around the entire house wailing with a "bone-treat" in his mouth and trying to "find a burial location" (do ALL Rats do this????), and other mischief. OH...to have LABS again!!! HEH! And I refuse to LOOK at Petfinders ever again!!! ;-) Thanks everyone! LadyDi...and Yogi

Thanks for calling and emailing and trying to find this guy a way out. Hopefully he'll be adopted from the Humane Society!
