Our Charity Services...

Our Charity works to educate the community about pet rats: the joys and needs of these very special pets. We also provide low-cost health checks, overnight aftercare, post-op monitoring, and boarding services. All donations go toward the supplies needed to provide antibiotics, nebulizer treatments, mite/lice treatments, abscess cleaning, and post-op care when families need help.

You can also donate via CASHAPP $JosieratsWPB There are similar CashApp tags, so be careful!

From the Breeder

AFRMA, FRBA, NARR Registered Breeder .. About me:

   I am a Gen-X mother of three (7, 15, & 16) and well-educated. This is to say, I'm not a "backyard" breeder, nor am I flighty and doing this on a whim. I work full-time in white-collar America, while my Boomer mother enjoys answering the phone and responding to text/emails. 

   My Facebook page is there for people to send messages and share their own posts of my babies. Every so often I'll post if I need to get word out to my followers about available litters or foster opportunities. If you adopt and are already on FB, I ask you follow my page and post picture/video updates. I really enjoy seeing my babies happy and watching their antics!

   Just like my adopters and surrenders, my life did a hard left in Dec 2021 and the impact resulted in my inability to continue at my pre-pandemic level of community involvement. I take in surrenders as I can, but space is limited and I'm limited to the weekends for Adoptions and Come Visit & Learn appointments. If the scheduler shows I'm not available for a health check, call and double-check with my mom. I do what I can when I can.

   I am sincere and while I hate giving bad news, I will be honest with you. I will also be there for them in any way I can throughout their lives, especially when it comes to their health. The rats are my babies first and I never stop loving every single one of them. 


All JOSR rats are welcome back. My babies always have a home here.

In all sincerity, Tina

Pricing and Benefits to JOSR Owners

If you'd like to be an adopter, pricing is $50/ea.  ($30 for rats over 18 months)

I charge more than other breeders, but ownership of JOSR rats includes:

  • Free boarding
  • Free health checks
  • Free antibiotics, if available 
  • Free post-op and overnight care
  • Free kisses.. for the rats

Should you request a litter from a JOSR you've adopted previously, you will have pick of the litter, minimum of 2.  

Note: if you want to breed your JOSR female, they need monitored throughout the 8-week process and spade after the pups are weaned to reduce cancer risk. We will keep them on-site and provide post-op care, but you'll need to cover the spay. (it's worth it)
