A Piece Of The Ceiling Fell And 1000s Of White Rats Fell From it While Remodeling A House
We are sticking to the facts here because if we went off of pure emotion we’d waste a lot of time. After assessing the house in Rocky Point, we believe there’s more than 300 domestic rats living inside. If we were to guess, closer to 500-1000. That number is subject to change as we begin this project. Many rats are ill. Cancerous tumors, severe injuries, and upper respiratory signs. We desperately need foster homes, adopter’s and rescues to assist us. We are a rescue without a facility. We have nowhere to keep them. We need transporters for out of state offers. We are working with Jefferson Animal Hospital regarding medical care and having to put terminal rats to sleep. Donations are CRUCIAL for medical care. Each rat will be immediately treated for mites. we gave fresh food and water to the rats, but this enormous number must be dealt with delicately. We cannot route need of care. We have been in contact with some of the most incredibly helpful people in the rat rescue community. They are actively assisting us from states away in this enormous undertaking. We have never encountered such a welcoming community in rescue; rat people have blown our minds! We have help arriving late tonight to get started on removal and rescue tomorrow morning. This is going to take time but a plan is finally in place and volunteers are banding together to get this done!
