Your cats are so pretty! Mayhem looks so busy! hahahha
Iām going to close sign ups around 2 pm tomorrow (Saturday) so for those of you I am spying sitting on a fence way out yonderā¦please come and play! After I close sign ups, Iāll ask you to pm me your shipping preference (please consider shipping internationally; we have several amazing international swappers that tend to get paired up a lot, and we want everyone to make a new friend!) and your lists so I know who you havenāt had the chance to swap with ever or many times.
I just remembered to send in my Q. Long one.
And I need to catch up on the thread, but all I have to offer right now are our current foster kittens enjoying a cold snowy day in front of the wood stove.
Rigel (tiger with white belly) Sirius (ginger) and Bee Gee AKA Betelgeuse (tuxie with white whiskers), about 4 months old. Going up for adoption next week, hopefully. 5 cats in the house is a chore, but well worth it.
At heart Iām a dog person, but my husband is allergic to all things furry. We currently have 1 bunny anyway which we get away with because sheās only in the living room. Her name is Zoey, just because she looked like a Zoey. š¤· Her husbun passed away a while ago and his name was Otter because he was sleek and gray and darted around really fast.
Oh she is gorgeous! I love her coloring and she looks so so so soft.
Oh yes! Sheās a Rex. When people talk about velveteen rabbits theyāre talking about Rexs. Really short fur that you can pet in any direction. Soooooo soft!
She is such a cutie
She is so cute! I had a Rex that looked like the velveteen years back. They are so soft and so sweet! Miss my buns
We have 2 aging cats they are now 19 years old. They were found as newborns in a building that was being demolished. The two I ended up with were bonded. Fluff is the big goof ball and will attach herself to anyone, her sister Vicious (so named because she was skittish we just kept the name) is just true empress cat! Vic will yell at you to come sit on the sofa because its her time of night. She wonāt cuddle at all but you have to do as told!
Fluff now has a brain tumor and sometimes has seizures, they havenāt ramped up so she is comfortable and still active. Vic is just skinny, cranky old lady that rules the home.
In the art I have had tons of pets, dogs, rabbits, cats, Guinea Pigs, rabbits and hamsters.
We are now looking to add a dog back in but its been hard here since Covid. The shelters and recuses all require vetted applications to see the pets but a lot wonāt take the application unless you have picked one, but, canāt go to see them if you donāt have a vetted application. I am almost convinced I can adopt a human easier these days. I think its good to keep down the people who flip animals and those that canāt care for them, but, its made it next to impossible for us. But, the hunt continues!
Last call! Iām closing sign-ups in an hourā2pm EST.
SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED.
Swappers: Please look at the list of possible new friends. Send me a pm with the subject Make A Friend Swap ā your username.
In this pm, please include:
- The swappers you have NEVER swapped with before.
- The swappers you have only swapped with a FEW times.
- Your shipping preference.
These lists include people you have swapped with on the old site. If you have only done say an atc swap and not a partner paired swap with someone, then by all means include them in the swappers you have never swapped with before.
Also, I know international swapping can be a pain, slow, and expensive, but I encourage you to consider being willing to swap with an international swapperāthis will help us make a friend!
As soon as I get all the responses, I will start working on partnering!
If you did not fill out the lengthy questions when you sent in the questionnaire, please work on those so you can send them to your new friend quickly!
Thanks!
Laura
Hooray! I can hardly wait for partners!
Iām amazed at how many of us have never swapped with anyone from this group! Just waiting on about 3 more people to send me their lists and shipping preference and Iāll start pairing people up!
I just realized we have 11 swappers. Would anyone like to have a second partner or was there anyone who was on the fence that would like to send in your info?
If not, weāll do a round robin.
I canāt balance a 2nd partner right now, but I am happy to be part of a round robin if you donāt find a 12th person.
If you havenāt got someone already, Iām happy to join in! I will work on questionnaire now ā¦
yes, thank you!! You are in! @jemimah If you want to just send the top info stuff, you can work on the other questions and just send those straight to your partner when I assign them soon.
Partnerās have been assigned. Iām going to start working on sending out the Qs. Remember, if you did not answer the questions, please do that and send it directly to your partner. And, make a friend!
Edit: You should have your partnerās info.
Yay for partners
Hey @seeuudee Iām looking forward to getting to know you!
Looking forward to getting to know you too - crazy how much we have in common!
