I am a 6th grade teacher in Nacogdoches, Texas. I was given a flying squirrel for my classroom, and we have loved her for the past 2 months. I took her home in her cage over the Christmas holiday to care for her, and my family has enjoyed feeding her and refilling her water dish each day.

Today was a nice day, so I put her cage outside so she could enjoy the weather. I was watching her play and bounce around inside her cage. She seemed to be very happy. I even watched the dog and cats walk around her cage, sniff and walk away.

I left for a little while to take my daughters shopping with their Christmas money. I wasn't gone 15 minutes before I got a call from my boys who had stayed home to work on our farm that she had been killed by our cats. (Apparently, the cats had caught her skin through the cage and had tried to pull her through the cage. They did not succeed. Unfortunately, however, she was killed.)

We are all heartbroken in my family, and I cannot imagine how difficult it will be to tell my little students her fate when we return to school on Monday, Jan. 7th. It will be a LITTLE easier if I have a replacement for her.

Do you know where I can find one?
