Eugene police say they found and removed more than 100 pet rats in parked vehicles in Eugene on Wednesday, Sept. 23.
Two vehicles, one a blue Saturn with a tarp draped over the top, were being towed at 10:30 a.m., when an officer lifted the tarp and spotted several rats inside, Eugene police said in a statement.
The rats were of all sizes and colors, and rat feces and chewed up seat cushions were seen inside the vehicle. There was no food and very little water.
Additional rats were found in the owner’s car, parked nearby.
The rats were brought to Greenhill Humane Society, where staff unloaded 52 rats from 8 cages. Staff reported that several rats were suffering from medical conditions and that three of the rats gave birth to 18 newborn rats after arrival at Greenhill.
The vehicles were towed to a towing yard, where numerous other rats were found inside them.
Police says that a large number of rats are still believed to be inside the vehicles and that the Animal Welfare Unit “continues to provide food and water for the rats until Greenhill has room to take more.”
The case is still under neglect investigation. The rats are not up for adoption as of yet.
