So, as you all may know, I’ve been trying to adopt a girlfriend for Mr. Warren.  We seemed to have everything set – the okay from my landlord, the perfect lady for him, I had a second cage and everything.  I was so excited to be bringing home a new friend.

And then I find out I need the cats’ medical histories. Now these are my roommates’ cats, but since they live in my house, of course I put them down on the adoption form as additional animals. Also, since these are my roommates’ cats, I do not have their medical records. Nor did my roommates keep them after the cats got neutered/shots last year!

So, we’ve been trying to get copies of their vaccinations, but they took the cats to a mobile clinic that has a phone number (with voice mailbox that is nearly always full – no one answers the phone) and an email address. Supposedly my roommate has been trying to call and email them to get copies for the past 3-4 weeks, but we’ve gotten no answer. Today I got fed up, and emailed them myself.

However, if I can’t get in contact with them, what should I do? I feel like as this point, I’ll have to take Warren in to date the other bunny again, and the 3 trips we’ve already made ranged from semi-stressful to super-stressful. Also, the shelter will not let me adopt until I have proof of vaccinations for the cats, and it’s looking like I won’t be able to get copies of these records! I know the shelter is being responsible, and they only adopt out to good homes, but I’m just getting frustrated with the whole ordeal. Warren has a folder with his vet records and neuter certificate, just in case I ever need them. Why don’t other people do that for their pets?
