Hedgehog Emergency -advice needed

[never_ender]

I'd like to introduce you to two very special little men in my life, if you don't know them already.

I noticed on one of the bigger Hedgehog pages I was able to Google, that my vet comes up as one of the listed vets for your little guys. I have to say, everyone at that vet's office here in Chicago is AMAZING. I would call them (I can give you my legal name if you want to drop it - they know me by sight by now. ;)

I suspect if there's a place to shelter them at least until you can get this sorted, Dr. Byron would know what it is. If you need to get them *to* Chicago, I'd be happy to relay with you for part of the trip as long as we can get schedules to match up.

Anyway, I'd try calling:

Animal House of Chicago
2752 West Lawrence Avenue,
Chicago, Illinois 60625
Phone : 773-878-8002
www.animalhouseofchicago.com

And ask Sandy (the receptionist who will most likely answer the phone) or Dr. Byron or Dr. Jenny what they would suggest for temporary or permanent rehomes in the midwest.

I hope this helps! With love from one exotics lover to another.

Waldo.

I'm not any use to you from a practical or legal view, being a non-American, however, as a journalist, I think that you have the basis of an excellent human interest story in your local media. You are covering off both good citizen screwed over by faceless bureaucrats AND nice person who does weird thing tropes, both of which are very popular

Hi, I'm here from copperbadge. I'm not in Indiana, but I found a couple of links that may help, or at least may be a starting point:

Indianapolis Legal Aid Society
Indiana 211 (or just dial 211)

Legal Aid may be able to advise you on tenants' rights or point you toward an agency that can; pointing you to the correct agency is what 211 is about.

Your little men are adorable. Good luck.

I am an IU grad student but at the Indianapolis campus. That's something I'll have to look int. Thank you.

You might contacting Jon Yates, the Problem Solver at the Chicago Tribune; Indiana is definitely in the Tribune's radius, the adorable hedgehogs are a great catch, and getting a call from a major Midwest newspaper often has a salutary effect on petty bureaucrats.
