Emergency Rescue Fund
The Travelin' Rat has set up a fund to help a rescue in an emergency situation. The two requirements to apply for this fund are:
1. The rescue must be 501(c)(3) approved by the IRS
2.The rescue must take in rats and use the funds on a rat-related emergency (the rescue may also take in other animals).
The Travelin’ Rat will need both a copy of a receipt from the veterinary hospital or supplier and a receipt from the rescue once payment has been made. (Alternatively, The Travelin' Rat can pay a veterinarian on file directly if s/he will accept Amex.)
A rescue may apply for $100 once a year through this fund. The amount may be increased and the time decreased if we are able to secure more funds for this program. Grants through this program depend on available funds.
Those of us at The Travelin’ Rat are working hard to make money for rats in need. We will do our best to have funds available when you need us but approval of this application does not guarantee that we will have money when you request it. You can help keep this fund available by passing info on about the many fundraisers we hold. Funds for this program will come from any fundraisers we set up for ourselves (please check out our Ways to Help Us Help Rescue page), non-rescue sponsored shows we attend, donations through our website including the Pawprints on My Heart page, and online sales in January and any other month where we do not have a 501(c)(3) approved rescue as our Rescue of the Month.
It would be helpful for you to fill in the TTR Registration Form (either from this page or from our Rescue of the Month page) before applying for a grant from the Emergency Rescue Fund as the application process will be quicker. The TTR Registration Form will need to be updated annually. If you have not already filled out the TTR Registration Form, please be sure to do so as you are applying for a grant from the Emergency Vet Fund for Rescues. Both forms can be downloaded below.
Please email The Travelin' Rat if you have any questions or need help with the application. Thank you!
