9-10 Feb (Sat-Sun): ACRES @ HarbourFront "Year of the Rat"

ACRES is celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year at the HarbourFront with a roadshow to usher in the year of the rat. Find out more about animal welfare issues and how you can make a difference for these animals in the start of the lunar new year.

If you would like to volunteer for any of these two days, please email your name and your convenient time slots to volunteer@acres.org.sg

DID YOU KNOW? Baby rats are called "kittens", while a group of rats is called a "mischief". A happy rat will chatter or grind its teeth. Rats play, groom each other, and cuddle up to sleep together, keeping each other warm. They are highly social animals which gain a great deal of enjoyment and stimulation from each other's company. Rats take care of the injured and sick rats in their group, and they communicate by touch and smell, and by sound at frequencies we can't hear. Rats don't have thumbs, canine teeth, gallbladders or tonsils, but they have bellybuttons, and they sure enjoy being tickled! More about rats
