Chester's Story...
Chester is an active Siamese rat. Chester can be a bit shy at first but when he gets used to you his personality shines. He needs a peaceful home with plenty of attention. He loves cheerios and will sit calmly on your shoulder. He is curious and playful once he feels safe. Children under 8 may be a danger to him--must have had rats before or always be supervised. No predatory animals. Must adopt Snow White as well as they are a bonded pair and love being brother and sister. May not get along with another intact male unless also from this litter.

About Our Shelter...
The mission of The Rat Retreat is to provide lifetime care for abandoned domestic rats in a home where there is human companionship 24/7. To educate the public about the plight of domestic rats including: being over-bred; being used as live food for other animals; being kept in pet stores where their problems are exacerbated by lack of knowledge on the part of the staff; being sold as pets without accompanying information on their requirements as exotics. To research new avenues of health care for domestic rats with the goals of reducing the three main causes of early death: tumors, respiratory and heart problems.
