Hello everybody 
I'm Catherine and I live with my boyfriend, Avery, of almost 5 years in New Jersey, USA.
I had a cat, Muffin, that I had for almost 17 wonderful years that I recently had to put down. After that, we decided to try a new type of furry friend.
I did tons of research on chinchillas and we finally decided that we'd like to get one. We contacted several breeders in our area .. but received no replies. Finally decided to check out our local PetSmart and the chin there just called out to me. Our friend donated a huge cage that she had from a previous pet and we picked up other supplies and we were on our way home with our new friend. We decided to name him Fonzie, just because we wanted something cute and different. We've only had him 2 days so far, but he's warming up to us quite nicely.
We also have a 55 gallon fish tank, a snake, a Chinese water dragon and 2 other cats. (The snake is securely locked in her cage, with no chance of escape. We triple locked it before even considering a rodent.) My one cat Bagel, is interested, yet terrified of Fonzie at the same time. My other cat, Cupcake, enjoys watching him but could really care less .. haha.
Well that's us in a nutshell, feel free to ask questions, and we hope to talk to you all on the forums soon
