Iguanas? Really? They're the ubiquitous middle-school science class animal. I personally know of at least one kid whose teacher has one at school.

And zebras—that's funny. Some guy has a zebra and a white pony out in Coney Island, I think? Anyway they got loose and were running all over the city and some guy got it on his cell phone and it was all over the news.

And snakes? I thought only the poisonous ones were banned.

Live and learn!

Just want to post a shout out to anyone who knows anyone who does foster care for cats and dogs. Can you please refer them to Pet Pardons on Facebook. There are so many pets that need foster to get off of death row.
This epidemic is so out of control it is heart breaking.

Thank you

The ASPCA has set up shelters in NYC to help with overload of cats and dogs from hurricane Sandy. The shelters will close on Dec 17th, and there will be a flood of pets that need foster and adoption.

Now is a good time to mobilize rescue help to the NYC area. If you are in contact with a rescue from another state please consider taking some of these animals and helping NYC out.

Post here if you can help and I will put you in contact with rescue volunteers in NYC.

Thank you
