Welcome To The Travelin' Rat!
Our mission is to help animal rescues, especially those that take in rats, wherever we can, in whatever way we can. We generally do this through our fundraising efforts, but we also help rescues by sitting with them at events, helping with transports, and spreading the word when rescues need help.
