Mrs Magoo (now "Chloe")

Update 7 September 2012:
I am so happy to announce that Mrs Magoo has finally been adopted!! YAY!!
Special thanks go to my awesome vet, Dr Choi, for treating her skin condition for free, Betty for being her first foster mom, Sara for being her second foster mom and finally, to her new parents Alicia and Wesley for falling in love with her. They have decided to name her "Chloe". What a pretty name for a pretty little girl. Congrats little lady!! We love you!!

Update 26 June 2012:
Wonderful news - Mrs Magoo went into foster care a few weeks ago and we have just got word that she has settled in wonderfully. She even has a turtle for a sibling and they get along well! :) Please see below comment from "Tails Sara" along with an adorable pic of Mrs M, the cuddly hedgehog :)

Consider adopting this little lady!

Update 5 June 2012:
Mrs Magoo simply cannot believe that she is still in foster care & not in her forever home! This little girl is soooo easy to care for:

1. She's friendly :)
2. She doesn't need to be walked.
3. She doesn't need regular grooming, just an easy cage-clean.
4. She sleeps most of the day.
5. She eats a tiny amount, so food costs are low.
6. She's downright adorable!!

What more could you ask for? Please consider adopting this girl.

Update 7 May 2012:
Mrs Magoo's foster mom has a problem. Her little Yorkie has a Grade 4 collapsed trachea and, besides needing extra care, also needs to be in a cool environment to reduce panting. Mrs Magoo however, needs to be kept in a relatively warm environment. As you can imagine, living in a one-room Korean apartment is not easy with the two little ones needing these different things. We would like to find Mrs Magoo's forever home as soon as possible. Please spread the word about this adorable little lady!!

Update 17 April 2012:
Mrs Magoo is thriving in foster care! She still has her bare patch of skin but there are a few spines starting to grow back. She has finished her medicine and just gets a special spray on the bare spot now. She's super-duper cute!!

Update 28 March 2012:
Hedgebert/Mr Magoo is a girl!! So it's MRS Magoo from now on :)
Mrs Magoo's skin is doing well with the treatment she is receiving and the doctor says her spines will grow back. She has a tattered ear, but it makes her more end(ear)ing - haha. See below for photos and more updates.

Update 22 March 2012:
Hedgebert by night, Mr Magoo by day... This lucky boy went into foster care in Asan a few days ago. He is doing very well and still taking anti-fungal medicine to help with his skin condition. Watch this space for updates!

Yesterday when I took my dog to the vet, I saw a small plastic container sitting outside. Inside was a very cold, very cute, very scared little hedgehog!!

Poor Hedgebert was abandoned outside the vet's practice in Cheonan in the half-hour I was inside. He is missing a patch of spines near his head and one of his ears has cut in it. I don't think he feels very well at all :(

The vet suspects he has a fungal skin infection & is doing an agar culture to see exactly what it is. The vet very kindly offered to treat him free of charge & asked me to try find him a home.

1. I would like Hedgebert to find a loving forever home. The type that doesn't leave a sick animal on a cold step.
&/or
2. I would like to find a foster home for Hedgebert to recover in while looking for his forever home. The foster home would PREFERABLY be in Cheonan so that for the next few weeks the foster parent could take him in to Dr Choi for his treatment. (I'm not 100% sure yet but I think he would only need to go in to Dr Choi once a week. I will find out more this afternoon when I go see how he is doing.)

In the meantime, if you are interested in helping a poor abandoned soul, please contact me!
