New Hampshire SPCA Seeks Public Assistance After Large Mouse Surrender
MANCHESTER, N.H. – The New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is reaching out to the community for help following the surrender of over 300 mice earlier this week. The unusual situation started when a local man approached the organization, expressing his distress over being overwhelmed by the number of mice in his possession.
More than 300 mice were brought to the SPCA, but officials have raised concerns about the condition of the rodents. Many of the female mice were not separated by sex and are believed to be pregnant, which could lead to a significant increase in the population. Moreover, there are indications that the man may still have approximately 400 mice remaining at his residence.
The SPCA has announced that some of the surrendered mice are now available for adoption. They encourage anyone interested in providing a home for a mouse to visit their facility and help alleviate the situation.
The organization recognizes the challenges of keeping such a large number of animals and is appealing for the community’s support in finding these little creatures loving homes. Adoption information and further details can be accessed through the SPCA’s website.
As the story continues to unfold, the New Hampshire SPCA remains committed to ensuring the welfare of the mice and preventing similar situations in the future. They urge those who are considering pet ownership to think carefully about their capacity to care for multiple animals and to reach out for help if overwhelmed.
