about 3 weeks ago my fiance and i took on some female mice from a rescue in wigan. they have been struggling to find a home due to something that is not their fault. 3 of the girls have only 3 paws- it doesn't bother them as they had them amptuated before their eyes where open so they have never really known 4 paws. the lady who bred them put in bedding which was unsafe and all but one of the litter (Millicent) had limbs amputated after becoming caught up in it. their brother unfortunatley is still looking for a home :cry: it seems people really are shallow, they only want so-called "perfect" animals :cry:

to me they are the most beautiful girls in the world and they certainly don't let it hold them back, the leader Martina has managed to escape twice from their cage- and she is one of those with only 3 paws!

anyway... meet my little meeces:

here is Martina, the skinny minnie who escaped

and this is Millicent (the only four-pawed one)

They all look lovely Lau and I'm so happy that they have found a good forever home with someone who can see past the 'imperfections'. It just makes them more special doesn't it.
Hope their brother finds a good home soon.
