Kim's Ark Closing
It is with great sadness that Kim's Ark Rodent Rescue announces that after 7 wonderful years, we will be closing our doors at this time.
Effective immediately, the Ark will no longer be accepting surrendered rats from outside sources. As always, the Ark will continue to function in its full capacity for all rats currently under our care to place them or care for them. The Ark will always accept any rat adopted out by us back. In this respect nothing has changed - we will continue to do this for the life of any rat adopted out by us.
The Ark store will sell out all of its supplies over the course of the next few weeks to months. In addition, all of the Ark's supplies (including cages, water bottles, etc) in storage in Massachusetts will be available for purchase. Proceeds will be kept on hand to treat and care for any Ark rats in the future, as well as assist local shelters financially with rats should the need arise.
It has been our great pleasure to help out for such a long period of time, and be surrounded by such wonderful people in the rat community. At some point in the future the Ark may be reborn, but the time has come for us to take a step back. We hope that if the situation arises, we can still be of help; we are delighted to see so many rescues all over the nation that have been formed. As always, this has been for the rats, and we hope we have made a difference.
Fondly,
Tracy and Kim
(and all the current and past Ark volunteers that have made this happen)
