The New Hampshire shelter is overwhelmed after receiving nearly 1,000 mice in days, with many pregnant. The situation has become crippling for the nonprofit.
Lisa Dennison explains that this influx began with one man who intended to surrender 150 containers of mice, which rapidly escalated to hundreds.
With females maturing at six weeks and gestation lasting about 20 days, the shelter faces an exponential growth problem as many mice have given birth.
Turning part of the cat pavilion into a makeshift mouse hospital showcases the facility's struggle to log and provide care for such vast numbers.
