Creature Comforters Rat Rescue

Joanne Park has been running Fat Rat Rescue from her home in Currock for three years. She takes in unwanted small pets and works closely with Animal Concern’s volunteer Kevin Kerr to provide care for the animals and try to find new homes for them.

The first floor of Joanne’s house is home to 30 rats, 30 degus (small rodents with brown hair and big ears) 15 hamsters, six or seven mice and gerbils and 15 birds – cockatiel, budgies, love birds and finches. The birds live in cages in the bathroom while the others live in the bedroom.

“People often adopt animals on the other side of the world but by doing this you can help a local cause,” she says.

Contact Joanne on 01228 593649 or email rattyjo@hotmail.co.uk or contact Kevin on 016974 76196.

..for people and children who have not had much experience with animails adopting a pet from a Rescue is the best way to go.
