From Tina, Registered Breeder
Every rat is special. I love it when they can visit. I get to reconnect with them. All my rats are bred to keep the compassion and intelligence we've experienced with their ancestors in this world. They were our hearts and too special to lose to time.

About Us
How We're Helping
We are a South Florida nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about the misunderstood companion pet rat. We also provide shelter to surrendered small pets. To date we've helped chinchillas, mice, hamsters, Norway rats, gerbils, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, bunnies, ferrets, and sugar gliders. While gerbils, hamsters, mice, and companion rats stay with us, we serve as a safe way-station for the others; working with specialized rescues throughout Florida.
June 2019 UPDATE: We can no longer accept guinea pigs and bunnies. Please contact East Coast Rabbit Rescue or Wild Cargo for assistance.
