Rattie Ratz was established in 1998 and has grown into one of the largest non-profit rescue organizations in the country dedicated exclusively to domestic pet rats. Rattie Ratz operates a limited access rescue and accepts needy rats from local overwhelmed shelters. They are dedicated to responsible pet guardianship, a lifelong commitment to companion animals, and a respect for all animal life. Improving the lives of small animal companions and their guardians is the primary focus of their rescue efforts.

Rattie Ratz Etsy Store is made up of items donated by helpful crafters to raise money for Rattie Ratz Rescue. The store currently does not list all the items it carries, in an effort to cut costs. The items displayed in the Rattie Ratz Etsy store will stay up for 4 months at a time, and will be rotated out with new items. Items include beautiful purses, cat toys, knit mittens, and more. If you are a crafter interested in donating some of your handmade items to help Rattie Ratz raise money, please contact Tahna@RattieRatz.com.

We formed the Rat Assistance & Teaching Society (RATS) to educate people about pet rats and to teach animal care professionals the proper care of rats. Our mission statement: We believe rats should be respected as pets and treated as humanely as any other pet.

The Rat Fan Club, founded in 1992, focuses on rats as companion animals. The club currently has about 460 members in Australia, Canada, England, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Switzerland, and the U.S. Our goal is to share our love of rats, promote them as companion animals, and spread information about their proper care.

TheRatShop.com was developed with the rats' best interests in mind. We are a small husband-and-wife operation and we strive to offer high-quality rat products at affordable prices.

The Social Rat is a club for domestic pet rat guardians who would like to socialize with each other and work together to collect valuable information for pet rats and their families in the Northern California Region.
