I had these two for a while. A local hay and grain place had told me they
would take them. But then they just kept putting me off. One excuse after
another. They did loan me a big shelter for them. Sadly I had to leave
them outside during the winter while I was at work. Once I got home, I
could bring them in, in the shelter. There was room for food and water in
there but no litter box. I had to shut them in there to protect them from
Maui and shut her in the bedroom. This was not ideal for anyone.
Thankfully my husband called around and found a no kill shelter that would
take them.
