MSPCA waives adoption fees for its little fuzzy critters this weekend; just has too many of them

The MSPCA reports it's waiving adoption fees, which normally run between $10 and $85, for all small animals and small birds at its Jamaica Plain and other locations Friday through Sunday.

This includes rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils and degus, which are sort of like guinea pigs.

The society says all its cages are currently full - and it's even had to put cages in the lobby at one of its facilities. It says the problem is that people keep giving up their smol pets, but adoption is down 24% this year:

Says assistant director Bryn Rogers, “It’s absolutely critical that adopters step up and take some of these guys home. We want to be there for people in the community who need to surrender small animals, but we won’t be able to do that if we can’t free up some space.”
