**” Mouse-Geddon: NH Shelter Swamped by Mousy Mayhem as One Guy’s 150-Mouse Giveaway Goes Hairy”**
In a bizarre and utterly bewildering turn of events, a local animal shelter in New Hampshire found itself knee-deep in mice after one gentleman decided to gift the place with an astonishing 150 rodents. Yes, you read that right – 150 mice. As in, the plural form of mouse. As in, enough to start its own mouse-themed amusement park.
The would-be philanthropist, whose identity remains a mystery (much like the origin of his sudden and inexplicable affinity for tiny furry creatures), turned up at the shelter on Monday morning with a duffel bag overflowing with – you guessed it – mice. According to eyewitnesses, he seemed utterly nonplussed by the commotion that ensued as staff members scrambled to contain the burgeoning mouse-ocalypse.
“It was like something out of a horror movie,” said one frazzled shelter employee, who wished to remain anonymous due to fear of reprisal from the mice themselves. “I mean, I’ve seen some weird stuff in my time, but this takes the cake – or should I say, it takes the cheese?”
As word of the mouse invasion spread like wildfire through social media, local residents began to converge on the shelter, rubbernecking for a glimpse of the rodent riot. Some even brought their own snacks (read: cat food) in an effort to entice the marauding mice into a feeding frenzy.
Meanwhile, shelter staff were left scrambling to find creative ways to contain the mouse-mageddon. “We’re talking mouse-proof enclosures, mouse-sized tunnels – you name it,” said one overworked and under-caffeinated volunteer. “It’s like trying to hold back a tide of tiny, furry fury.”
Despite the chaos that has ensued, some local animal lovers are hailing the mysterious donor as a hero. “I mean, sure, he might have single-handedly caused a small-scale mouse-pocalypse,” said one enthusiastic supporter. “But hey, at least someone around here is thinking about the mice!”
As for the shelter itself? Well, let’s just say it’s been… an interesting week. “We’re doing our best to corral the critters and find them new homes,” said a spokesperson. “In the meantime, we’re just rolling with the punches – or should I say, the whiskers?”
And so, as the people of New Hampshire grapple with the aftermath of Mouse-Geddon, one question remains on everyone’s mind: what’s next for this merry band of mice? Will they start their own Instagram influencer empire? Will they unionize and demand better working conditions in the shelter’s mouse-sized cafeterias?
Only time – and the occasional lost cat wandering into the fray – will tell.
