Hi,
I adopted a 13-year-old CAG three weeks ago. I found Gizmo on Craig's List - she was being rehomed because her owner didn't have time for her, but she'd been well cared for, and she's a lovely wonderful girl. My husband and I are having a great time getting to know her. She's very responsive - we never know what she'll say next, so she keeps us entertained. She's adapting to her new home and eating well -- she eats fruits, veggies, bread, the grain/veggie/macaroni mix I cook for her, and enjoys some Zupreme and the pellet/seed mix she came with. She even took a bath for us a few days ago. (She told me she wanted a bath by trying to dunk her head in my fruit juice after drinking a sip.)
So far, she seems to be bonding most with my husband, who is disabled and home with her all day. This is unexpected, but I have to confess, it's pretty darn cool, because she's great, pleasant company and he's falling for her, too. This morning, for the first time, she didn't want to get off of his hand when he let her out of her cage. He was so pleased!
I've wanted a CAG for years and lurked here for a while, so I'm really glad to have my girl.
