255 local rats need your help: Yep, you read correctly

MEDINA COUNTY , Ohio (WJW) — When you see their pictures in the slide show below in this story, you might just find them cute?

Hundreds of pet rats, could use a helping hand, or perhaps a helping paw.

The Medina County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is asking for pet rat supplies after the critters were rescued from another part of the country.

“These little creatures came from a neglectful situation within our county,” according to the Medina County County SPCA social media page. “We are in desperate need of extra rodent supplies! “We need water bottles with chain cage holders, towels, rodent chew toys, and rodent food.”

But, those pet rats are now locals

Staff added that, “We also need cat cleaners as well. If you are interest in becoming a volunteer and helping the animals, please fill out the volunteer application.” You can fill out the application by clicking here.
