All hands on deck!
Thursday evening I got a call from Emma at Furryfriends in Surrey about a hideous situation involving hundreds of mice living in appalling conditions in a house in Wales. A local rescue (Freshfields) had been contacted about taking them in but due to the sheer numbers involved there’s no way they could take them all so they appealed to other rescues for help. The biggest problem is that environmental health are also involved and if we can’t find places for these mice to go they will be destroyed so the clock is very much ticking! 
Since this all came to light the number of mice has been estimated to be at around the 900 mark so we are appealing on just about every animal forum there is for anyone who can help, whether it be with transport, fostering, homing or even just spreading the word. I have also set up a fund to help with the vets care and things that these mice are going to need and within just a few hours I’m very pleased to say £43 has been collected which is certainly a good start.
This is a very urgent situation and even with all the people who have come forward so far we aren’t anywhere close to having places for all these mice to go so if you are reading this and thinking that you may be able to help please, please get in touch!
