RESCUE & ADOPTION
If you are looking to adopt a wonderful pet (or two) or if you have, or know of, a rat in need of a home, the following list should be of help to
you. Please keep in mind that this list encompasses all types of organizations ranging from rat-friendly shelters to individuals. In some cases
it simply may not be feasible for the organization or individual to help you as completely as you'd hoped, but, in general, these are folks who
love rats, and they will try to help however they can.

Guidelines for Posting About Your Pet Rat(s) for Adoption:
Whenever you post about your rat to any of these places, be SURE to include the following information:
- your rat's gender and name
- where you are located
- why you need to find it a new home
- how long you have had it
- what its health and temperament are like
- where you got the rat from
- what you will include (e.g. cage, food, litter, etc.) with the adoption of your rat
- if you are willing to help transport your rat to its new home
Rat Fan Club Suggestions for Adopting Pet Rats
Why Adopt?
- You're saving a life.
- You're giving an unwanted or homeless rat a chance to love and to be loved.
- You're not rewarding feeder breeders and the pet stores that sell feeder rats for doing what they do.
- In the case of surprise litters, you're getting a very healthy, very spoiled, very friendly pet. And helping a fellow rat-lover out.
- If you have an older girl, you're finding her a companion that is closer to her age and level of energy.
- If you take in an older rat (or rats) you'll not have to wait for their cheeky personas to develop: Their furry little faces will be ready to
immediately extend that smile on your face.

notes: We have limited fostering capacity at any time, so if you're surrendering, prepare to foster your own animal for as long as possible. We also have
a few other small animals - mostly mice, some gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, etc. We are no-kill, and so we keep palliative care animals. Our
adoption fees go towards their care as well as to defray adoption expenses. On parle français aussi.

About this page:
This page is a resource for individuals looking to adopt a pet rat and a resource for those individuals who are in search of a home
for their pet rats (in other words, this is not a breeder listing).
No matter where you are, if you run a rescue or if your organization provides a resource, a network, for individuals in search of homes for
their pet rats to place those rats, please fill out this form.
If you are an individual seeking a home for your rat(s) or looking to adopt a rat, please follow the links above. I am, unfortunately, not
equipped to serve as an organized means of posting your wanted/unwanted rats, however there are many, many outlets and they are listed above.
