Between here and LJ, around $200 was raised! (I can't get an exact number since some people there didn't specify the amount they donated).

I'm amazed, and so happy that this many people stepped up to donate a couple of bucks to a very great facility :) there aren't many rat rescues around, and the few that do exist don't tend to get much of anything in the vein of donations. Rats are such a niche-pet, it's difficult to get ANY help running a rescue, even if the cost to run is just as high as any pet.

If you would like to donate more money (though I won't be doing more of these, I don't think!) then feel very free to. The paypal for Mainely's rescue is ratsrule2007[at]aol.com

for more information on Mainely and the need for these donations, see my journal http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2208726/
