So sorry Morty! I know how I'd feel, but I am glad you did find the poor sod.A friend sent me a comic once about getting the housecat a new kitten to play with. Above the human the bubble said something like "I want to get her a kitten to play with, it should be fun!" and above the cat's head it read "How's about I get YOU a pack of hyenas to follow you around and you tell me how much fun it is..." Sully looks at Bridget and agrees totally..
BIG hugs to you, your new friend will find your house soon enough.
