Foster Homes Needed!

✨Foster Homes Needed!✨

Did you know we have to say “no” to HUNDREDS of rats nearly every month? From accidental pregnancies and hoarding, to abuse, neglect and abandonment. We get requests to help groups of 30-300 rats on a monthly basis.🐀

Right now, some of those waiting to come into care have no other options. Humane societies, shelters, and other rescues are often at capacity. 🐇🐈‍⬛🐕🦜

Reality is many rats will be euthanized or abandoned, exposed to the elements and die if they cannot find placement. We are their last hope! ☀️

Do you have a sweater, some time, and love to give? Please consider fostering with us. 💖

Our biggest challenge is securing enough funds, followed by having foster homes in place before intake. Our rats come from hardworking and overwhelmed humane societies, animal welfare, and other rescues. ✨

So far, thanks to everyone’s support - we have given to refuge to 78 rats since we opened last summer. This is wonderful - every life matters, and we’d like to take in more. Fostering is rewarding work. It’s hard too, especially saying goodbye (though foster fails are encouraged). 💝

Beginners to experienced welcome. Can be in Northumberland, Peterborough, Kawarthas, or Durham areas. We match you with care and offer ongoing support. Visit our “Why Foster?” page to learn more, or our “Foster Application” page to apply!🐀

And PLEASE SHARE ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
