We have three non-snake pets. Two cats and a rabbit. All of them have been rescue animals.
Steve, the mohawk kitty, was from a friend who found a pregnant cat that had babies. I adopted him from that litter. He's your typical smug cat with that "One day I'm going to kill you" attitude. But underneath it all, he's a real sweetheart.
Mary was a stray that wandered into someone's garage and had kittens (at only 9 months old!!); they found homes for her kittens, but she still needed a home. We couldn't resist her, and I always feel bad for the adult animals that never get homes, so she came home with us. She's one of the sweetest and most quiet cats I've ever known.
And Violet, the rabbit, was from a local rabbit rescue. She was rescued from a pound that had her with a bunch of male rabbits who would urinate all over her to mark her. When we got her she still had pretty bad urine stains and didn't like people at all; she had obviously been abused. But after a year or so, she finally started to come around. And now she is an absolute sweetheart. She couldn't be any friendlier and loves being around people and held and picked up and pet. I'm glad that she got a happy ending.
Freshly back from the groomer's!
"I'm going to kill you in your sleep!! Muhawahaha!"
Who needs fancy beds, when you have a box to sleep in!
First time they slept together (they were bitter enemies for a few months when we brought Mary home, but are now best buds)
She likes to hop up on the couch and start begging for some attention...
