Welcome
Welcome to the 3rd issue of our newsletter! We
have lots to mention. So let’s crack on!
CavyRescue in the News
Although we haven't threatened to sue anyone
in the last two weeks we have had lots of press interest in
what we are doing. We have been asked to appear on Blue Peter
(how sad is it if one of our rats gets a Blue Peter badge before
us!) We have also been approached by the Imperial War Museum
to help with a Hunt the Rat day at HMS Belfast over Easter Weekend.
(They are planning to hunt plastic rats not real ones!)
We were also interviewed for a university student’s degree course
in Anthropology - which was different! Hopefully this will not
work its way on the web!
We are also featured in the new issue of Paws 4 Rescue. If you
do not get or even know about Paws4Rescue, it is a great magazine
dedicated to all things animal rescue. They have a website here:

Free Movie Preview
Dreamworks with Aardman Animations are currently
in production on the animated family comedy film. Thestory of
an uptown rat that gets flushed down the toilet from his penthouse
apartment, ending in the sewers of London, where he has to learn
a whole new and different way of life.
Roddy is a upper-crust "society rat" who makes his
home in a posh Kensington flat, complete with two hamster butlers
named Gilbert and Sullivan. When a common sewer rat named Syd
comes spewing out of the
sink and decides he's hit the jackpot, Roddy schemes to rid
himself by luring him into the "whirlpool."
Syd may be an unaware scalywag, but he's no fool. So it is
Roddy who winds up being flushed away into the bustling sewer
world of Ratropolis. There Roddy meets Rita, an enterprising
scavenger who works the sewers in her faithful boat, the Jammy
Dodger. Roddy immediately wants out, or rather, up; Rita wants
to be paid for her trouble; and, speaking of trouble, the villainous
Toad-who royally despises all rodents-wants them iced.
literally. The Toad dispatches his two hapless hench-rats, Spike
and Whitey, to get the job done. When they fail,the Toad has
no choice but to send to France for his cousin-that dreaded
mercenary, Le Frog.
Release date for the movie is November 3, 2006.
