I have a zoo going on...ten cats, nine rats, five guinea pigs, two rabbits and a ferret. They are, as follows:
CATS
Max, male, got him from a friend who was moving, 8 years old now (had him for 7)
Blanco, white male, got him from a friend who couldn't handle him and his brother, 7 years old and had him for 6 years
Azule, Blanco's brother, same age and color except for his big blue eyes--he's deaf and special needs
Taylor, gray female and got her from a friend's cat's litter, 5 years old
Eli, black and white male, free kitten and too cute to resist, 3 years old
Codi, black and white female who was a stray behind my building, adopted almost two years ago, about 5 years old
Piper, tuxedo black and white male, one of the kittens Codi presented me with about a month and a half after I rescued her, a year and a half old
Gulliver, black male, feral cat foster I took in for a few months who turned out to be FIV+ and no one wanted him so I kept him--vet estimates him to be at least 9. He's started to mellow out this past year and come out for visits and treats.
Merlin, orange tiger male, came to live with me when his former owners couldn't keep him from being beaten up by their other cats and also because after having bladder and kidney surgery he had incontinence problems. 6 years old now
Cordova, female siamese/ragdoll mix, gift to my girlfriend, 5 months old
GUINEA PIGS
Chip, black and white female, was supposed to stay with me for a few days and that was over two years ago, about 3 years old
Apu, caramel and white male, adopted because he was "unsellable" due to bumblefoot, 4 months old
Squeaker, black teddy male, bought to be a companion for Apu, 4 months old
Tweaker, tan male, bought as a companion for Apu and Squeaker, 4 months old
Oreo, black and white teddy male, too cute to leave at the store
RATS
Diver and Honey--girlfriend's rats
Ellie and Harmony and Mama--girlfriend's little rats
Scooby and Shaggy--girlfriend's boy rats
Cookie--our biter rat, my female
Sweet Pea aka Pinkly Wrinkly--female hairless who was adopted after a serious ear infection left her deaf
FERRET
Frankie the female ferret, adopted from local college kids who couldn't take her to their new apartment
And there you have it
