My name is Angel McDowell and I am the (rat) mother of two very sweet and loving baby (rat) boys named Dexter and Rudy. Dexter and Rudy are brothers and are about 6 months old. I am starting this gofundme in order to try and raise enough money for me to be able to get them neutered. Neutering in rats prolongs their lifespan significantly since rats are known to develop testicular cancer. By neutering my boys, the risk of losing them to testicular cancer drops to zero and I can potentially give them a happier, longer, and healthier life. We are looking at 1-2 years without the surgery and potentially 3-4 with the surgery. The love I have for my babies is insane, I never thought such tiny creatures could provide as much serotonin as they do. I work two jobs and go to school for my Chemistry Major and Mathematics Minor full time. Between school, monthly payments for a car and credit, and necessities for my and my pets' health, I simply do not have enough money to give my babies the surgery on my own. This said I would greatly appreciate any donation possible to help get my boys the procedure they need to live a happier and healthier life!
