We've been looking for a buddy for Ringo ever since Milo died a few months ago from cancer. So tomorrow we're going to the SSPCA, and meeting a piggy who recently had his eye removed When I phoned and heard that, I thought it was just meant to be, after Todd! Anyway, they've got to get the go-ahead for rehoming from their vet, so aren't sure if he'll be ready tomorrow, and also, he's got someone else interested in him. I said I'd go and fill in the form and give my vets number for a reference, and then hopefully they will let us adopt him. If not, I have found another piggy (with two eyes ) at the other rescue centre needing a home, so we may come home with him instead. Really hoping the one eyed pig can be ours though So whatever the outcome, I'm pretty sure we're going to have a new piggy on Monday! Lets hope Ringo likes him.

Good luck with the adoption. Hope you get the one you want & they get on with Ringo.

I forgot to update this thread! No sadly, we didn't get him, he wasn't ready. Hopefully we can go and pick him up in the new year.

Piggy is in foster care right now because he's not doing so well and he needed the extra TLC they couldn't give him at the rescue centre. The wound from having his eye removed has turned into an abcess, so he's struggling a bit now. I'm in touch with his foster Mum who says that although he's quite poorly, he's strong, so she's hopeful he is going to fight it. If he does, she says she's going to make sure they adopt him to me She says it will be a few weeks yet though, because he is on anti-biotics for a while yet.
