So here's the email:

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you could please help me find a home for my little girl rat, Caramel. I lost her cage-mate, Swirl this past week. And I mean LOST. It really sucks, she was cool. I was getting a little too lenient letting them run around on my porch, thinking they'd stay in the general area. They did pretty good, actually. I've only lost each of them once before...hehe... I have nice neighbors.
It's a long story...I've had to keep them outside because Ron is allergic to them, especially the pee-ridden cage. I have to clean that sonuvvabitch every other day if I want to keep it in the house. Actually, EVERY day. Letting them in is a pain because I'm so anal about my place and I don't want them chewing on things, peeing and hoarding food in corners...that's already happened. *sigh*
Anyway, Swirl was the very tame and outgoing one. Caramel followed her lead. She's very shy, but very sweet and tame. Now she's lonely and I really don't want to get another rat. It's so hard to find ones with good personalities and I just have too many pets. I'm getting a second bird soon, and I just don't have the time to clean all these cages when it comes down to it. I'm feeling guilty, if you can't tell... I'm pet-alchoholic, I must stop! OIY!
But Caramel is really sweet, if any of you happen to want her. I want to try to find her a home myself (preferably through people I know), before I hand her over to a pet store where her fate is unknown.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I hope this works. Maybe this will teach me to consider all things BEFORE purchasing my next pet. The key is waiting a certain amount of time. This is one of those situations where there just ain't no instant gratification.
