Meet Agnes.

Agnes is another rescue who moved in with us recently. Someone got Agnes and her sister from a pet shop a while back. Unfortunately the new owners weren't able to/didn't want to take care of them anymore, so =ghostlove fostered them for a few months. They then moved to a different home with an acquaintance of =ghostlove's. Again, this owner wasn't very good. Agnes' sister got sick and the owner didn't bring her to the vet in time, and she had to be put to sleep. =ghostlove and I decided to take Agnes back here to give her a forever home with the three other rats we currently have.

She's adjusting well, and felt right at home with the other three girls. She's still a bit skittish as she probably weren't handled very much with her previous owner. But she's warming up to us.

Hope you like this one!
