Please be aware that not all of our events will have available rats for adoption. If you plan on attending an event with the intent to adopt, you must contact us ahead of time. Drop-ins are always welcome, but we cannot guarantee we will have rats available for you if you do not contact us at least 3 days prior to an event.

Do you need to surrender your rat(s)??

Please DO NOT bring your rat(s) to any of our events without contacting us and making arrangements in ADVANCE. We do not maintain a shelter facility. The address on our contact us page is a private mail box to receive mail only. We are a network of volunteer foster homes that take in domestic pet rats as space becomes available. We typically have a wait-list for rats that need rescue services. Don't wait to the last moment if you think you might need assistance with your pet rats!!
