Hoarding cats is a bad enough problem… but on the opposite end of the spectrum, hoarding mice is a whole ‘nother level on the icky scale.

What started with three “fancy mice” grew into hundreds of ‘em over the years because, er, they multiply like rodents. Animal welfare group Voices For Animals recently stumbled upon the mice-filled house in the most literal sense — they were freely roaming around the house, untethered by cages.

The animal welfare group also made sure to dismiss the idea that the family behind mice-city aren’t bad people; they were just unprepared for the exponential growth in population.

But Voices For Animals got down to work and, quite amazingly, managed to capture and save about 250 of the critters (there were a proper shit-ton of them running around). Right now, they’re up for adoption for anyone who fancies fancy mice:

There’s an adoption drive for the wee buddies that’s happening today at 110 Turf Club Road, but you’ll have to get there before 6.30pm.
