Rescue Service Update

We have many lovely ratties ready

and waiting for their forever homes. 

 

If you are thinking of adopting

please go to the Rescue Service

page for details about the

adoption process, and 

the information we need

potential adopters to provide.

Unfortunately a lot of new rat owners adopt from unscrupulous people, who sell sick, under aged, incorrectly sexed or and pregnant rats to make a quick $. 

The unsuspecting new owners pay a high price in heartbreak and vet bills.  Highlighting the importance of buying/adopting from a reputable source.  

Thinking of Adopting?

Check out the info on

our Rescue Service page and complete an adoption expression of interest form.
