WINDSOR, ONT. --
A group of abandoned domestic rats, found by a Windsor family, have been adopted less than a week after their discovery.
The rats were found at Elizabeth Kishkon Park, huddled together in the snow on Sunday, before being brought to the Windsor-Essex County Humane Society.
Staff say the 21 rats have either been adopted or spoken for, while some wait for pregnancy tests before being released.
“We tried to keep them warm, so they ran home, grabbed a box and some old croissants to give them some food.”
Dad Joe, who didn’t want to give his last name, told CTV News that he and his family made the odd find, saying he couldn’t believe someone would abandon the animals the way they did.
