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.

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.

Our mission is to give a home to rats in need. From illness to temperament issues our doors are open. We do not foster or re-home! Once your rat is with us he or she will be given all of the love and attention needed for the rest of his or her life. Our hope is to educate people on what a rat needs, so we are also willing to mentor you so you are capable of keeping your pet. We can do so in your home, on the phone, or over the inter.

At Rat Haven Sanctuary, we believe that rats deserve the same care as any other animal. They get top of the line food, any veterinarian care needed, as well as roomy cages with lots of toys and company (if tolerated).

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.
