Adopt RATTHEW a Brown or Chocolate Rat / Mixed small animal in Westminster

Location:

Westminster, MD

Description:

RATTHEW IS IN A FOSTER HOME CURRENTLY, BUT MEET AND GREETS CAN BE ARRANGED MONDAY-FRIDAY AT HSCC BY CALLING THE FELINE DEPARTMENT AT 410-848-XXXX EXT 822. HIS AGE IS AN ESTIMATE ONLY.Smaller pets (rabbits, rats, mice, guinea pigs just to name a few) can be wonderful additions to your family. They are often adopted by people that think that they will be less work than a dog or cat, and while it`s true that you won`t have to spend dedicated time taking them for daily walks there are still some very important questions to ask yourself! These little cuties are often returned to shelters/rescues when their owners become overwhelmed with the care involved. So do your homework and know the answers to some of these questions to be best prepared:*What type of housing is required?*What type of bedding is safest for them?*How often does their habitat need to be cleaned and what cleaning products are safest to use for them?*What will they eat as their primary diet?*What treats are safe for them and how many can they have each day?*How much interaction do they need?*Do they need to be housed in pairs? (Most types of smaller pets need to be adopted with a friend--make sure you are adopting same sex companions or spayed/neutered pets to prevent any surprise litters.)*Will they be most active in the day or at night?*What type of veterinary care will they need? Is there a veterinarian in my area that can help you in an emergency situation?If you know the answers to these questions and have determined that a small critter might be a great fit for your home, see our adoption hours below. The adoption fee for rats is $5 (cash, debit or credit accepted - please note that there is a $10 minimum when paying with debit or credit).To schedule an appointment to meet Ratthew, and/or to learn more information regarding a particular animal, please call the Feline Department at 410-848-XXXX ext 822. If no one answers, please leave a detailed message with your name and phone number, and the call will be returned by end of business Monday - Friday. Adopters can prepare for their visit by being 21 years of age or older, having permission from their landlord to bring a new pet into their household, having some form of ID that shows their current address, and by bringing a suitable carrier to take their new companion home in.
