November 2008- There are no new upcoming events planned at this time.

August 4th - September 14th - Join us for Mainely Rat Rescue’s biggest fund raising event since our inception! Our hopes are to raise enough funds for our 501c3 application, some accounting software we will need, and to pay off some recent large vet bills. Anything left over will, of course, be put towards the everyday costs of running a rescue.

Click HERE for more information! We have a wide variety of prizes available, ranging from hammocks, to magnets, jewelry, and one lucky winner will win a brand new rat cage!

August 1st - 31st - It is time for our PRECIOUS PINK EYED RAT-A-PALOOZA for the month of August! In order to promote these less colorful, often overlooked very special rats, the adoption fees will be waived for all pink eyed rats in MRR’s care. They need their forever homes, too. This includes Himalayans, PEWs, and champagnes, Dumbos, rexes, babies, adults, spayed and neutered ratties. If a pink eyed rat comes as part of a pair or group, the adoption fee will be waived for all of them! Be on the lookout for the cute pink eyed rat icon to show who is eligible. Also, for more insight on pink eyed rats, read our newest rescue story below!

August 10th is our next board meeting, It will be held at a home in Gorham Maine. Email us if you are interested in attending.

August 16th and 17th we will be hosting our first annual Yard and Bake sale at 136 East Bridge St in Westbrook, Maine. Please email us if you have donations or just stop by and spend money to help the ratties!

September 14th MRR will have a booth at the ARL’s Paws in the Park Dog Walk at Deering Oaks Park in Portland, Maine. Come visit us!

July 12, 2008: Thanks to some generous supporters, we have $155 of the $300 we need for our 501c3 application! Keep em coming, we are almost there!

Thanks to the follow people for their contributions!
