(Starting a new thread, because the old one was getting really long and a bit confusing.)
Huron Valley Rat Rescue in Ypsilanti, MI has many lovely spayed and neutered ratties currently available for adoption! All rats who aren't spayed/neutered yet, will be soon (age/size permitting). Adoption fee is $20/rat (rats too young for spay/neuter are $10).
Transport is frequently available to Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Lansing, Toledo... occasionally Marquette, Traverse City, Fort Wayne, and a few other areas. I may be able to arrange transport depending on your location, so don't hesitate to ask. Email huronvalleyrats@gmail.com for more info. Thanks!List of ratties: (most are on Petfinder w/pics - site is:
