Overview
- Staff took in 31 mice and 63 hamsters from a single Arcadia home this week in one of the shelter’s largest recent small‑animal hoarding cases.
- All animals were examined, with one hamster treated for a minor hind‑leg injury and expected to recover fully.
- Officials said some of the rescued hamsters are pregnant, which could raise the total number of animals to more than 100.
- Pasadena Humane temporarily converted a communal cat room to house the influx while providing appropriate housing and ongoing care.
- Adoptions are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 361 S. Raymond Ave. in Pasadena, with fees of $10 for mice and $15 for hamsters and a limit of four of the same sex per household.
