Vets overwhelmed with pandemic pets
There have been reports of increased pet adoptions during the pandemic, but also fears of pet abandonment. Whatever the truth of these stories, veterinarians are overwhelmed and it can be hard to get an appointment. I’m sure that’s not easy for them, but it’s a good sign that not only are people getting pets, they’re also looking after them.

I will say that my vet is slightly expensive but has always been able to get me an appointment within 48 hours, and almost always 24 if I wanted it. (Also, it’s 2 blocks away.)
I’m vaguely looking for a young, bonded fluffy pair and it remains difficult to find, though this is not really the season for them.

jeather, the Animal Rescue Network has a pair of 8‑month‑old tabby littermates up for adoption. Not fluffy, but stripey!

I am absolutely fixed on fluffy. It will come eventually.

Or someone I know will find little ones that need socialization first, something.
