Page spent approximately 6 weeks of her young life living outside of the Portland State University Library, where she had been frequently spotted hanging out by library employees and students. As the weather started turning, the library staff were worried about her ability to survive alone in the cold. We spent two weeks attempting to catch her with live traps and nets, but she was fast and wily. Eventually we were able to entice her into one of our traps, and she is now safe and sound in sanctuary. She had an army of fleas and lice, wounds on her tail and an abscess on her neck, but she was in pretty good shape considering all she had been through. Once she was healed and through her quarantine, she was introduced to Seneca, Mouse, and Harvest, and later Penny, Liv and Howl. She slowly began to take cues from the other rats, and her trust in us has grown immensely in her time with us.
