SMOL BEANS Rat Rescue of Colorado - Rehab, Rescue, Rehome

04/11/2024

Surrender from last night.

These poor two ratties were abandoned by their previous owner at a rental property, and found by the new rental move-ins. Thanks to them these guys were rescued! When they found them they were pretty dehydrated and hungry, they're still looking a little dehydrated and definitely underweight but they're doing much better! They're on medication for a minor respiratory issue, and once they get the all clear they're up for adoption! There's one male and one female, the male is very sweet just a little stunted probably from malnutrition. The girl will have to be on a 3-week quarantine until we know for sure that she's not pregnant, and the poor girl has a really bad case of curly tail from living in an inadequate cage.

If you're interested in adopting either of these guys feel free to shoot us a message, or wait for the post with more adoption details!

Thanks again to the super nice couple that helped these guys out!

WE ARE RELOCATING!

No need to panic guys! We are staying in the metro area, we're moving from South Lakewood to the Wheat Ridge / Edgewater area where we originally started pre-rescue (2016ish when we just did independent rescuing)

The post I have made is too long for Instagram, so if you would like to read the full post please check out our page, link is in our bio.

To summarize it for Instagram!
We are leaving our current location for a much better one, we were living in a flooded apartment with no appliances and enough was enough when they tried to raise our rent. Now that we're in a better place, we just need time to steady ourselves And we need patients from you guys while we get ourselves together!

Living in a flooded apartment, moving and having to relocate an entire rescue, and having to deal with getting our own transportation was a huge deal. We are finally in our new place, we just need to set everything up now so we can be at 100%!

We will be working on getting admin stuff together, since it's only me right now. We also be getting more solid volunteer and foster work together again.

We are taking emergency surrenders only, and we don't need any supplies donated until we have a full inventory of everything. We mostly need monetary donations, If you want to help out please check the links on the Facebook post!

I love you guys and thank you guys for your patience while we try to get things back up to 100% again! It has been a really hard year and especially the last couple of months so we appreciate you guys being patient

WE ARE RELOCATING!

No need to panic guys! We are staying in the metro area, we're moving from South Lakewood to the Wheat Ridge / Edgewater area where we originally started pre-rescue (2016ish when we just did independent rescuing)

It's for the better. As some of you guys know the place we were living in Lakewood was just turning into a huge nightmare. They were perfectly fine with the rescue being there, that was never an issue. They decided to give us a rent increase of almost $300, even after we've been having non-stop issues like going six months without a washer, dryer, or dishwasher all the same time. (And of course being charged in full regardless) The last 60 days or so of our lease we were dealing with constant flooding, and we couldn't get any help from the complex at all. It's no way for humans or animals to live, And it's definitely a health hazard. The place we were living was literally falling apart, and we're glad that we are getting away from there and moving on. The place we are relocating to now is going to make things much easier on us, the rent is much more affordable so we won't be stretched so thin for time and or money which is the ultimate goal. If we had the funds, we would be buying property but the way things are these days that's just not possible. (I know most rescues own their property but the way the world is idk if that will ever be possible.)

We appreciate you guys being so understanding while we're going through these super trouble times. As most of you know, we had to get a new rescue vehicle and that was also a huge and expensive deal. We depend heavily on having a vehicle for transfers, pickups, supplies, ECT. So going without that was very very hard. We were able to get a used car, but ended up having to put a lot of money into it because the dealership that we bought it from did not inspect the car fully like they were supposed to and it came with a lot more issues than we were told about. But we have one now, just took a lot more out of the budget then ever planned.

We are also working on getting some more admin work done on here, currently it's just me doing the admin work on here, but once things start ironing out it'll feel a lot easier for me to keep up once I get the admin situation better figured out!

Currently we have a few rats up for adoption, but I will get around to posting them once things are settled. We are still taking surrenders currently but only emergencies (like abandoned animals out of control of their current/previous owners.. ECT.)

Again, I'm so sorry if I haven't gotten around to your messages. It's been a really really chaotic last few months and honestly year. We are doing as much as we physically can with all the cards we've been delt and I'm just happy to still be hanging on

If anything else all I can say again is thank you guys and I love you guys so much for all the support I have been given from y'all!

We'll be working on setting up some more Foster and volunteer work once things are fully settled. For the time being we just need some patience, we know we are a rescue but we have to make sure that things are settled for both humans and animals before we can fully kick off again!!

Feel free to reach out, I will answer when I am able! We're doing good on supplies currently minus some medications, so for the time being until I have a full inventory supplies that will be put on hold! If anything at all, the only help we would need would be monetary for all of the moving costs and fees that we've been dealing with, including covering costs from the damages from the place we are leaving. Luckily we haven't been in charge of any of the flooding damages, but we did lose a lot of supplies that needed immediate replacing and things we needed during the constant flooding, that and the transport issue.

Thank y'all again and I really appreciate the patience from you guys. We are still here just kind of in a grey-area where we just got into a workable space again with transport of our own and it's just going to take time before we can be at 100% again

Love you guys!

COURTESY POST:

Hi! My name is Victoria and I was hoping you guys could help me re-home a rabbit I have. I've had her for 2 years and received her from a coworker who wasn't very nice to her. I thought I was ready for a rabbit but I've realized I'm not a bunny person. She's indoors, has never been around other rabbits, and loves dogs. She's mostly potty trained but lately has been treating the room she's in as a p**p bin. I'm not in any rush to re-home her and will gladly take her back if her new home decides she's not a good fit. Regardless if no one takes her I'm not going to leave her at a humane society or post on Craigslist. I want someone who has experience and is ready for her. I'm a step up from her previous owner but I know there's someone who can give her the love and attention she deserves.

Her official name is Lou-Anne but we just call her Bun-buns. She has free reign of one of our bedrooms and is fed Timothy Hay and a variety of vegetables. She loves people but it takes a little bit for her to warm up to new people. Again she loves dogs but hates cats. I think with proper introduction she would get along with other animals. Whoever adopts her would get both her enclosures (if they want them), a new box of hay, a new box of litter, and some of her favorite vegetables. She is unspayed.

Please Contact;
Tori B (970-433-9718)

Shares are appreciated for this post so we can find this sweet bun a home!

WE ARE FULLY BACK UP & RUNNING!!

After a lot of issues with the transportation issue we have secured a (now) reliable vehicle to work with now! It took a lot longer then what we were planning and of course we got 'lucky' to buy a lemon with our very limited budget, and that new car needed a lot of work, so hopefully we got atleast all the main stuff out of the way!

We have A LOT of babies who just came in and more coming. So look forward to seeing pictures of those lil guys! We will also be taking pictures of our other adoptable older rats this weekend!!

We are hoping to get some more volunteer events going, as well as working on getting out more products (Like Hammocks, Used Caging, ECT) out the door so we can get more funds raised for these babies! Things in the pet world unfortunately are not getting cheaper (and honestly going quite the opposite way) and we currently don't have support from Oxbow anymore or any other sponser but direct donations!

We appreciate you guys being patient while we try to get this all figured out. It's been a really really hard year on us here and we are doing all we can to keep our head up!!

Love you guys!!

Hey there guys. Sorry for the sparse updates, it's been a little crazy over here!

We've been dealing with a lot of human medical stuff, which is no fun it makes things really slow around here. A lot of time in the hospital / ER and not even being able to be home.

We're also dealing with another huge problem, are one source of transportation with the rescue is totally out of commission. The engine is blown and it's not worth putting the money back in to get a new one. We have already donated it to Colorado Pet Pantry since they can get more from it then we can!

We are in the process of trying to figure out how we are going to be able to get a new car so we can keep doing what we are doing. We do a lot of moving things around! So this is definitely something that's needed before anything else.

We are also down to just the two of us (Me and my Husband) running the social part of the rescue, mostly wise. So we are going to work on catching up once all is settled!

We appreciate and love you guys for being understanding. It's been a really rough year for us (people wise) and we want to be able to get back Into full rescue swing again here ASAP!

LOVE YALL ALL!

Come visit us at Morbid Curiosity Carnival ! We are back up and running in full after a health break! Can't wait to see y'all here ❤️❤️

01/10/2023

Anyone? :C

We’re full to the brim as always, but look at this poor baby’s living conditions 😕 Could anyone local to Northern Colorado step up to foster? All his costs and supplies will be covered!

11/21/2022

As y'all know we are run by two married men. So this stuff is just so sad and scary. Please stay safe y'all as best as ya can. If you guys need to talk we are here for you as well, not just as a rescue but as people. Don't be afraid to be yourself either and don't tolerate hate 💞

Our heart goes out to the victims and families of the shooting at Club Q that happened here in Colorado Springs.

Looking for transfer from Pueblo to COSPRINGS

****Transport Found***TRANSPORT NEEDED
We urgently need a transport within the next couple of days from Pueblo to Colorado Springs. A young female rat, the runt of the litter, has severely overgrown teeth and needs our help. Please let us know if you are able to transport that nugget for us. Below is a picture of another baby we have saved for tax :)

10/18/2022

Hey y'all! We have a few extra You & Me Rat Manors we are wanting to sell off. We seriously have so many of these in storage there in no way we are ever going to need all of them for fosters.

We are only asking $20 a cage! Quite the deal seeing as these are running $200 new right now. Each cage comes cleaned! All levels and ramps included.

We are more then happy to toss in any other extra supplies you need we may have excess of :)

Selling to raise funds since we are sitting pretty low with the last few months being so expense heavy and we need the room forore urgent supplies!

Message us to purchase one! Pick up off 285 and Wadsworth. Happy to do a porch pick up as well.

Saw this in a rat group. Sending this out so y'all are aware too.

Ever since PetSmart rebranded their all living things like to full cheeks it's been super weird.

I don't suggest feeding it in the first place but now is a good reason to not feed it all all.

This isn't the first time I've heard animals passing away on this line either so..

We feed which has LITTERALY never ever given us issues here.

Please share to get the word out!
