Just a quick reminder that a rat train has been set up from Newfoundland to Ontario.
This means that if anyone in a more populated area along this route made arrangements, adoption of needy rescue rats from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick would likely be possible.
I realise that other places such as Ontario have a lot of rescues needing homes.
I am bringing this to your attention because we have small populations so very few homes available, no rescues taking in rats and only 3 shelters in the 3 prov.s that will take in rats and experience has shown that in at least 2 of these shelters, rats recieve poor care and are either killed or allowed to suffer and die without any medical attention - even when forum members have donated money for a rat's medical care.
So ... if anyone decides to take a maritime rat listed in the rescue section or elsewhere, there is not much time left to make arrangements.
For everyone else, you have more then enough on your plate and each of us can only do so much.
