Make sure you put yourself on a waiting list. I got Ivan back after adopting him out at 8 weeks old to my landlord's son, who bought him for his little toddler daughter. When he wasn't "cute" anymore, at 2 years old, he thought of me and offered him to me , before he did what he was originally going to do -- bring him to the shelter. Not sure to this day what kind of intervention was involved in that.

He's fascinated watching me play, even though he can't hear any drums! That's where he sits. I raise that chair up and use it as a "throne". I'd just gotten up here and he was still staring.
