The Bird

The Bird was found by Mrs.R, huddled against a wall, not moving.  That’s what she told me as she came inside calling, “Honey …”  I knew something was up but who am I to argue when it comes to an animal in need that we can do something for. What, I have no idea, but all the same we quickly set up the hospital cage for our new friend then ran out to get some bird food from our local pet shop. Dave was helpful but self-admittedly a novice with birds right now, “I’m learning more …”

We will see how The Bird does, hopefully it will only be a short stay then he, or she, will be back to the great outdoors. The Bird just did not seem to stand a chance as calm and quiet as it is and so readily handled by a novice such as myself.

The home of Star’s Rat Rescue. Seems rather appropriate to me, and as the name infers, this operation takes in pet rats that need to be re-homed, or sometimes just need their first home. The rescue is run by a fine young woman named Brittney and I have had the pleasure of getting to know her over the last year via RatChatter forums.

She is kind and considerate and has no issues putting the rats ahead of herself. A patient individual that works very hard to help educate those unaware of the great companion animals that pet rats can be, and for many people are.

Star’s Rat Rescue is supported through donations, mostly unsolicited, and by the sales in the SRR Store of Brittney’s sewing handiwork. Hammocks, cubes, cage liners, shelf liners … the list goes on.  A lot of the handcrafted items are geared towards Ferret Nations and/or Critter Nations produced by MidWest home for Pets.  These types of habitats are common for rat keepers.

I would like to ask my readers to stop over at Star’s Rat Rescue. Take a few moments to read about the rescue operations and see which beautiful and handsome pet rats are waiting to find their permanent homes. Perhaps make arrangements with Brittney to adopt a pair (or more) of these fine pets; maybe purchase an item or two for your own pet rats; ferret and chinchilla keepers using Ferret Nations can benefit, too; or, you could offer something else … I’m sure it would be appreciated.

How do you support animal rescues? Are you an animal rescue? Tell us about it.
