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.

Rat Photos Needed
Small Pet Select has asked us to pass on the word that they need rat pictures! This past year, they added a lot of rat and hamster supplies to their bunny and guinea pig stuff, and would love for people to know this!
Email Small Pet Select with pictures to get them in the Top 15 Cuties each week!

For the Rescues and Rescue Supporters:
***Happening RIGHT now!***
US 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3):
Barnes & Noble
Sign-ups for gift-wrapping may start as early as July of each year, though contracts go out during September (there may still be available spots or waitlists after September). Make sure to call a few stores in your area as rules and availability may differ. During the winter holidays, the stores allow groups to come in and gift-wrap in exchange for being able to collect donations. The store provides everything to wrap, you provide the manpower. Rules vary from store-to-store, so please contact your store directly (most have 6 hour shifts and require 2 people at the table at all times). Tip: you may want to avoid stores in college or business areas as you are looking for places where people are buying gifts, especially closer to Christmas- when the last thing someone wants to do is go home and wrap!
US 501(c)(3):
BISSELL Pet Foundation
Hope for the Holidays is back! Starting on December 3rd you can enter daily for a chance to win a BISSELL product AND a chance to give your favorite shelter $1000! Stay tuned on Facebook and Instagram to learn how to enter.
