Current Large-Scale Rescues:
There are a number of rescues that are dealing with an overwhelming amount of rats, from situations such as hoarding or being released in the wild and breeding unchecked. These rescues are in need of adopters, fosters, and donations. If you are thinking of adopting and are near one of these rescue operations (many do work out rat trains, too, so please keep that in mind), please check our Large-Scale Rescues page. Currently, these are occurring in CA, OK, TX, WA.
For information about adopting rats as pets, please check the Adopt A Pet Rat website.
RescueMe.org has a worldwide list of shelters that take in rodents.
