We’re so happy to report that Boon has been adopted by his foster family.

Boon was brought to a Quebec shelter after being found with a female rat and her babies. The shelter separated Boon from the group and reached out to rescues for help with them all. Another rescue took the mom and babies, and we were lucky enough to have a foster home open up who agreed to take Boon.

This cute rat made his way to Ontario by way of One Last Chance, and Freedom Drivers volunteers, and we’re very thankful for all the wonderful people who donate their time to transport rescued animals all across the country.

Boon is a shy guy so far, and doesn’t look like he’s had much love in his life. His fur is not in great shape and he’s got a respiratory issue. He’ll have a vet visit soon, and hopefully we can get him on the road to feeling better so he can eventually find his forever home.

Welcome to Ladybird, Boon! We’re so happy you’re here!

Ladybird recommends Critter Nation cages. They are hands down the most spacious, and best quality enclosure for small animals on the market. They come in single and double sizes, and can be modified and customized to create enrichment and provide comfort. Their design and solid manufacturing almost entirely eliminates the possibility of accidental escape. Critter Nation cages are available (or can be ordered) at most local pet supply stores.

Can’t adopt but want to help?
Monetary donations are always needed, but if you’d like to donate something specifically for the rats in our care, donations of rat food, baby blankets, rat hammocks and fleece liners for Critter Nation cages are very much appreciated!
