I have two very sweet male rats available for adoption. They are both rescued feeder rats.  They are approximately 16 months old and both are very sweet, gentle and absolutely ADORE each other.  They groom each other and cuddle close all the time (except at feeding time, when each runs with their treat to a different floor of the cage!).  One is an all white albino (Kibble) and  the other one is a brown/white hooded (Grub).  They are so sweet they are even good with gentle animals--they really like my dog, whom they gently touch on the face.  I do try to allow them some "out of the cage" time as often as possible and they always stick close to the dog!  I would love to find them a home that can provide the time and attention they deserve.  Unfortunately these were unexpected rescues and with several pets, a small child and another on the way, plus full time jobs and school we are really stretched thin for time and energy.  I have given these guys the best home I can give them, with lots of toys, comfy blankets , towel hammocks and good food,  and I would love to find someone who will do the same for them.  Although they were not bred for looks or temperament and their heritage is quite dubious at best,  they are absolutely beautiful and sweet and very healthy and I know they deserve the best.  If you are seriously interested please contact me. Their comfy 3 story cage (which they always want within clear sight when out)  would come with them.  
Thank you!
Thank you!

That would be WONDERFUL! Is there anything I need to do?  I really appreciate your help and interest!

becky, are your rat at your place or your friends? you told us your dad was threatening to send them to the pet store. if their situation is so dire, is taking on other peoples rats really a good idea, no offense.

So wait.....Ummmmm....maybe I am missing something, but HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE ANY IN?  

our point is KT -- if you are having such problems iwth your parents and your own rats, why are you focusing on helping out other people when the lives of your OWN animals are in danger since you cant keep them? I understand there are two people working the rescue, but we are confused as to why she isnt helping YOu out and taking rats from you if your dad wont let them stay with you - cant she take the rats out of your house so they dont go to the pet store?i am not trying to fight here - i am honestly concerned that you are taking on other peoples animals that you canNOT handle right now -- because i am afraid that someone is going to give you rats that you arent going to be able to keep. i am afraid that someone is going to give you rats, and you cant keep the ones you already have.

my dad said that as long as I have reservations for them, they are good. I can keep them here. . However, I do need to have reservations set by July 17th. Either way, I am good. Becky can take them, if they have reservations or not. While I go up north on the 18th of July, when I get back, I will work on the reserved to be transported to there new homes, and those who need them to get reserved. And the answer to why I helping other people when I am in a jam, is from a story I heard. I am just following it. A women who had very little, and in trouble, and had no food, helped someone though she did not have the means, and good came to both people. Well, I need to find homes for these guys, but someone else is in my position. If we work together and reach out, to others, we save more rats. None of my rats are going to the petstore or being let go, because I continue to recieve reservation requests for them. I don't plan to take in anymore. Plus rpm, hasn't even said, she really needs me to take them in, I am just sponsoring them on my page. I only take in, if the rats and the people really need me too. And I have room, or a possible home, I have a few people that might be able to take them in, I am going to ask them if they are interested ASAP. I have no more boys available, and a few people are seeking for some males, and these two sound like they would be perfect for them, they probably won't even make it to me, or stay on the page.

   KT, I'm sorry but you are really kind of freaking me out.  What you say makes no sense, or you contradict your statements.  I don't get it.  I backed out on taking one of your rats because I can feel that when this "batch" is gone you're going to start all over again.  It's these sorts of "operations" that get rats in trouble.

And just out of innocent curiosity, Sue, why isn't discussion allowed on these boards?

Hiya- Another thing you might want to consider is getting the adoption info out to more people in Florida via the Florida Ratlist. Email me and I will be glad to send you the link.  Bella  bellaratta@aol.com

I was wondering if you were still looking for a home for your boys. I know someone that is looking for some ratties and was looking for males. Please let me know either way. I live an hour north of West Palm.

Oftentimes, what started as a post looking for homes turns into an ugly mud-flinging flame war that we have to remove or lock.  That is not what the adoption center is for.  

I appreciate people willing to take in rescues, and I don't mean to make things any more difficult than necessary. But I must remember, that I'm doing it for the RATS and their welfare comes first. And while I do screen very carefully, it does tell me something about the person if he/she is not willing to pay $5 for the rat. How can I expect this person to pay for the necessary housing, bedding, food, toys, and most importantly vet bills if they're not willing/able to pay even $5? For me, adoption fee is a PART of my screening process

Were the male rats in their 3-level house placed? If not I have space available. I am a rodent slave of 6 years. All of my rodents are highly curious/socialable/friendly. They have aspen bedding, lots to eat, good exercise, running on the sofa. They sleep in a little cave, which is a little used food container. They all love their 3-levels homes!
