We urgently need your help. We’ve given refuge to over 200 rats, assisted with crises, helped keep families & their rats together, further reduced barriers to animal companionship, provided vet care subsidies in emergency situations, & put time into educational initiatives.
To date, we’ve spent ~$30,000 on veterinary care alone. This is A LOT for a small, volunteer-run rescue who’s been in operation for less than 3 years. This doesn’t include all of our other expenses, such as for cages, care and enrichment, and costs such as our website fees. It also doesn’t fully show all of the energy and unpaid work put in by volunteers. So, how can you help?
Become a Monthly Donor.Having reliable income helps us plan & prepare. It puts us in a sustainable position, reduces stress on volunteers, & ultimately enables us to help more rats in need. Whether it’s $5, or $200, it all adds up!
Make a One-Time Donation. Even if you can’t commit to monthly giving, a one-time gift is a significant help. You can also e-transfer to [email protected]
Buy from our Online Store. We have some cool Merch(shirts, hoodies, mugs, hats, and tote bags). We even have Mystery Boxes of different sizes. They're packed with high-quality goodies! You can buy one-time or sign up for a Seasonal or Monthly Subscription.
Thank you for showing you care. We can’t do it without your help! Much rat luv to you <3
