This week’s Featured Adoptable is Deeogee, a female domestic short hair / black and white Tuxedo mix from Kitty City Rescue of KCMO:
A young couple had Deeogee for a few years and moved into an apt that didn’t allow cats so the girl’s mother reluctantly took Deeogee in but really can’t keep her because of her other cats….thus she needs a new forever home.
Deeogee likes other kitties and is very inquisitive and likes to be on the outskirts where the action is…not a pest but very interested in any activity and sociable.
She’s a little elusive around strangers at first, but then is sweet, affectionate and CUTE!!
She has been spayed, tested, vaccinated and flea/worm treated.
You can find out more about Miss Deeogee here.

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.
We do this for several reasons:
- To highlight the plight of companion animals in the Kansas City area.
- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal.
- To encourage members to adopt a furry friend.
- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.
- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.

New American Dream: New Dream News: Issue No. 54, August 11, 2008
Now, I know rats and, to a lesser extent mice, get a bad rap, but….
ZOMG, RATS! So cute! Me want!!!
Those faces, how can you resist?
Seriously, tho, domestic rats and mice can make wonderful companion animals. According to the Rat and Mouse Club of America (RMCA),
The average lifespan of a pet rat is between 2 and 3 years. However, genetics, husbandry and love will ultimately determine how long your pets live. […]
Love and attention can sometimes play a big role in how long your rat will live. A neglected animal will be depressed and sometimes just wither away, while an animal given lots of attention and love will live months beyond its life expectancy because it is happy and has a much stronger will to live.
Both sexes [of rats] make wonderful pets. Females are smaller and considerably more active than males and their fur is softer. On the other hand, males are normally happier sitting on your lap and having you scratch their head.
Whichever sex, consider getting pairs or trios since rats are very social animals and do not do as well if kept singly.
We also strongly recommend visiting your local humane society or animal shelter when looking for pets. Homeless pet rats and mice are euthanized daily simply because people don’t think to go there to adopt small friends.
The RMCA has a wealth of information about rats and mice on their website at www.rmca.org. Rats and mice require special care, so do your research before adopting a furry rodent friend!
With that in mind, allow me to introduce you to Annie (top) and Janie (bottom), a bonded pair of female rats currently staying at the Lawrence Humane Society.
Annie is described as a Medium * Young * Female…
Annie lives with her friend, Janie. They would love to be adopted together, as rats are very social and do better in pairs!
…while Janie appears to be the runt of the pair, i.e., a Small * Young * Female:
Janie lives with her best friend Annie, they love each other and it would be great if they could be adopted together! They are both very sweet and LOVE to play with people!
A full list of the Adoptable Pets from Lawrence Humane Society (located in Lawrence, KS) is available here. If rats aren’t your thing, there are plenty of dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils and guinea pigs to choose from.
