Mice Make Great Pets and a Cute Pair is Up for Adoption in Kennebunk, Maine

Mice are awesome pets, and Cherry & Blossom are looking for a good home.

The Animal Welfare Society in Kennbunk, Maine, has two sweet little mice they know someone would love as pets. But what are mice like as pets?

Mice Have Nice, Playful Personalities

Mice are just like all animals; they each have unique personalities that make them very nice. Cherry is a bit more curious and likes to explore more than her buddy Blossom. Blossom prefers to watch from a distance. That makes mice super fun to watch and be entertained by their antics.

Mice aren't just playful, they are also very social. AWS has lots of mice looking for homes, and all of them are female. Female mice thrive in social environments, making very meaningful bonds with mice friends and their people. Of course, it's the female. Duh.

Mice Like Nice, Small Spaces

Mice don't need a ton of room to be happy and comfortable. So if you are living in an apartment or even a dorm. Perfect! Just as long as it's well-ventilated. Plus, mice are super smart and very trainable. I was surprised to learn that! Now, they might not fetch your paper like a dog, but with some patience, they can recognize their name, run mazes, and learn simple tricks!

Mice Are Quiet and Low-Maintenance Friends

If you’re looking for new furry companions that aren’t going to make a ton of noise, then Cherry and Blossom are for you. There's no barking or meowing, just a couple of little squeaks. Plus, they are very clean. They just need a tiny bit of grooming and small living areas. That means they are inexpensive to care for compared to other pets. As long as they have some fun and food, they are happy!

Mice Are Nice Snuggle Buddies!

With regular handling, they will show you love and affection like only mice can. They love climbing on your hands or shoulders to keep you company. They always appreciate their human families in their own way. It could be cuddling in your hand, scurrying up your arm, or hanging together while watching TV. They are the cutest little cuddlers and are ready to be your new best friends!
