These girls came to us on 9\/10\/24 because their owner no longer had time for them. These girls were originally Corn, Beans and Squash. They were adopted last fall and renamed Gail, Irene and Florence. They were returned last month due to a change in job and housing for the adopter.<\/p>\n<\/div>

UPDATE 8\/11\/2025:<\/strong><\/p>\n

These ladies love attention and instantly perk up when someone enters the room. They all love their free-roam and wait at the cage doors every night to come out. They’re incredibly energetic and are easily handled once they become familiar with a person. These girls also enjoy any form of treats and any enrichment involving them.<\/p>\n

Florence, the larger more patterned lady, is very food motivated and eagerly anticipates breakfast and dinner, where she proceeds to stash all of the food. She’s also the first to approach as soon as the door opens. She’s very active during free roam, running from one end of the room to another.<\/p>\n

Irene and Gail are more docile and timid. They’re a bit wiggly when first trying to remove them from the cage but relax once they feel supported. Both of them love to approach one’s lap if they’re sitting on the floor during any roaming times and enjoy snuggling.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 10\/4\/24:<\/strong><\/p>\n

To the Iroquois people, corn, beans, and squash are the Three Sisters, the physical and spiritual sustainers of life.<\/p>\n

These three sisters are very sweet, love to take naps in the hammock together (hammock included with adoption!) they love snacks and grooming themselves to keep up their self-care and beautiful little faces.<\/p>\n<\/div>
