Sponsor Critter Camp rescued mice & rats
 Any level $5, $10, $50 a month or more!
(actual cost of care $500/month for all)
At any given time Critter Camp cares for 10-20 mice and an average of  20-100 rats. Most are biters, elders or have tumors and were going to be euthanized at kill shelters. Very often all other rescues within hundreds of miles have said no and we then accept these little sweeties. Some have been found as strays and are not friendly. Some are the product of a domestic female rat (who got loose) and wild male rat and are not handleable. Some come from hoarder situations. We love the ratties & mice very much and make sure they are happy with hammocks, hideouts, toys & treats.
