Adopt a Rat! – Getting Started

Welcome to our website. If you are interested in adopting rats from us, please visit our other website to pick out a package. Each package purchased includes 1-3 free rats.

STEP 1: Virtually tour or schedule an in-person tour to get to know us and our operation better. You can always learn more about us at Rattery.org

STEP 2: See our available rats or wait-list, if you will. From there, you can get to know our rats and choose which mischief you would like to be a part of.

STEP 3: Fill out our free application. We will reach out to you via your preferred contact method within 24 hours of submission. Here is a link to our free application [required]: https://forms.gle/LHcVmTSXBktHKVwn6

STEP 4: This is the best part – earn your place on our waitlist, and receive photo and video updates of your new little ones!

STEP 5: If you haven’t already please visit our parent website: rattery.org and choose a handmade care package for your new baby rats! Each purchased package includes 1-3 free rats.

*you will end up filling out two different forms:

  • Application for Rats
  • The Rattery Complete Packages Form

STEP 6: Pick up is at 6 weeks of age (this is when we separate are males from our females), and only when adopting out pairs or trios. We keep solo rats until 7 weeks of age. We do not hold rats past 10 weeks.

STEP 7: Lastly, and most importantly, enjoy your rats for years to come!
