Excellent Mouser looking for a Good Home

As we get ready to leave Peru for our time at the New Orleans Seminary, we have a mixed bag of emotions. Sad to leave good friends, happy to be with family again, nervous to be full time students, and concerned we are leaving something out that we have left to do!

Part of the preparation that has us concerned is what to do with Rachel, the promise kitty. Three years ago she came into our lives because of a promise we made to Patrick, well it was more like a bribe om his part, but who is splitting hairs. The fact is, he came to the mission field knowing he would have a cat when he got here, and so we do.

Rachel is in a lot of ways more like a dog. You whistle, she comes. You sit, she's in your lap. There's a knock at the door, she is there to greet.

Now, we are wondering what to do. Emails have already gone out and there's no one wanting to watch her for 8 months in Peru nor take her on permanently. We were hoping she would at least go to someone we know.

It is possible that she go to the US with us, it's just not financially feasible, costing about $400 to get her to the US and back to Peru again.

Our prayer...that a good home opens up to Rachel either for the time we are gone or a permanent home that will take her.

By the way, if you are wondering, the mouse in the picture is fake. It's the best $1.25 I have ever spent.
