METHUEN, MASS. (WHDH) – Prospective pet-owners may have the prospect to undertake a mouse freed from cost after greater than 500 mice had been surrendered from a home in Massachusetts, the MSPCA introduced Wednesday.
The MSPCA in an announcement stated the mice got here from a home in Essex County. Now, adoption charges are set to be waived for this coming weekend on Sept. 9 and Sept. 10 on the MSPCA at Nevins Farm as a part of what one MSPCA official stated employees are calling “the Mouse-pocalypse adoption event.”
“We have never seen a situation like this before,” stated MSPCA-Angell Assistant Director of Adoption Centers and Programs Bryn Rogers. “We are glad the original caregiver is getting assistance and are hopeful we never see something like this again.”
Rogers stated a number of different New England shelters together with the Animal Rescue League of Boston, Dakin Humane Society, New Hampshire SPCA, Greater Androscoggin Humane Society, and Midcoast Humane took in a number of the mice after Andover Animal Control helped coordinate the give up.
“Now, we’re hoping we can do the impossible—find homes for 250 mice in just two days,” Rogers stated.
Typically, there’s a $15 adoption price for mice. This weekend, along with waiving the price, Nevins Farm in Methuen might be offering starter kits together with a tank, bedding, bottles, bowls and huts, to the primary 75 adopters who undertake a mouse or a pair of mice, the MSPCA stated.
Rogers stated the surrendered mice “are surprisingly all very unique in their coat patterns and personalities.”
More than two dozen of the surrendered male mice have already been neutered, in line with Rogers, permitting the MSPCA to undertake mice out in pairs.
