HVRR: Spayed/neutered rescue rats & MANY babies in MI - Transport possible!

[Daisyroo]

Any chances of anyone setting up a ratty train towards Milwaukee or Chicago area in the next month or two?  I'm interested in two of Lily's rittens.  They need to be neutered first, so it'll be a few weeks yet.   Hopefully someone can get the boys somewhere closer where I could meet you.

It's *possible* I may be able to arrange transport to Chicago.  I can certainly get to Kalamazoo.  Perhaps someone might be willing to help out, too.  Since it's so tentative, I can't put babies on hold, but I'm pretty sure some will still be available should we be able to work out transport. 

[brrrbrrrr]

I will be going from Chicago to Utica, NY ( half way between Syracuse and Albany) via I-90 on August 4.  On August 6th, I will be driving from Utica to Montreal via I-90 and I-87.  On August 11, I will be returning to Chicago via I-90 from Utica, NY.  I am willing to transport rats in either direction from HVRR providing I don't have to cross any international borders with them.  I can keep rats with me while at my in-laws in NY.  They don't have any pets other than dogs.

Thanks, brrrbrrrr!

brrrrbrrr will you be coming near Pittsburgh? I need to see a map to see where I90 goes through, i believe it goes through PA?

[krazycatlady]

Updated!

I also will have transport to St. Paul, MN soon.

When is soon?
And is it Mandy driving? LOL.
If it's around when my bub and Prairie (I'm assuming that I'm the person who has her adoption pending?) are ready, can I get in on that transport?

[Blackthorn]

I thought that was you, but then, I forget, you just moved.  Where are you now?

[Leonakitty]

Oh duh, I get it.
The FLIGHT is the transport to MN. * one thousand headdesks *
I thought someone was driving here from MI! LOL.

Sleep. I needs it.

I'm still in St. Paul.
I just can't brain today, I have the stupid.

I'm still drooling over Prairie's spotty girl. 

If you do happen to come to Chicago, let me know!

[Blackthorn]

If brrrbrrr is willing to meet me on her way back to Chicago on the 11th, we'll have transport.  Since it's relatively far off, I can't put the babies on hold, but I will keep the voiced interest in mind, and if they're still available by then...   

So far, Ice is interested in the R. blue Dalmatian girl, xandria24 is interested in momma Lily and her Siamese dumbo baby boy, Daisyroo in Muskego, WI is interested in the blazed black berkshire boy and possum-faced Am. blue Dalmatian boy (I do have someone interested in him locally, but not for certain yet).  Xandria24 is in Decatur, IL, willing to pick-up in Chicago, so that opens up some transport possibilities as well.

I also took in a large group of rats on death row at a Livingston shelter, so they will be available eventually.  HVRR is officially over-full and not taking in any more rats now.   

[Ice]

If people near Chicago want rats, but have trouble meeting up with the transport person, I can hold rats at my home till a suitable time can be arranged. 

All my fosters are quarantined off site before coming to my house, so I'm clean.  ^^

[brrrbrrrr]

I am willing to meet you on my way back to Chicago may be in the Toledo area on August 11th to transport rats back to IL with me.

I might get rats from HVRR, I might get rats from HVRR *does a rat dance around the living room*

Hi everyone! I'd like to help out with the rattie train if I can. I live in Binghamton, NY, a couple hours south of Utica. I would be able to pick up ratties in Utica sometime between August 4-6 while brrrbrrrr is there, and bring them back to Binghamton (with dropoffs along the way if needed). I am located just an hour north of Scranton PA, about three hours north of Philly. That might make it easier for some folks to drive up for rats!

I currently have no rats, but am adopting two baby boys in early September. I will have a Martin's R-695 set up & ready by the end of July!

Just out of curiosity, is there a single spayed girl (less than a year old) available who might get along with two young rat boys? She'd have to be friendly already- I am not good at taming nervous ratties.

[Cricket Song]

Hello! Anyone still there for this rat train? Please let me know if I can help, ASAP- thanks! (My post is directly above!)

[brrrbrrrr]

I'm up for it providing people adopt.  It is just a question of putting the offer out there and letting people choose whether to take advantage of it or not.
