Free: toy squirrel (UW area) Gifted - I've had this little guy for a while, and he had some friends with the other stuffed animals around here. Recently he told me he wanted to go to a new home, and so I'm looking for the perfect place for him!

He wouldn't mind real live animals, too, as roomies, as long as they are gentle, and don't want to eat his insides...lol. He's about 9 inches tall, recently washed with hypoallergenic/natural soap, and is full of love. If you can offer him a good home, or know somewhere where he will be loved, let me know! Pick up is most days between noon and 8pm. Other times are available if I have at least a days notice. Location is north of UW.
