Pitter Patter Rat Rescue

Pitter Patter Rat Rescue is a safe place for, unwanted, abandoned, or neglected and abused domestic pet rats. It is also a place for rattie owners to bring their pet when all other avenues and options have been tried to rehome their pet with no success, provided there is available volunteers and adequate space at the rescue.

We are a non-profit rescue that is run completely by volunteers who love animals, but hold that special place in their heart for rats. All monies that are raised by the rescue go solely towards the animals in care for medical expenses, and any other items that may be required during their stay at our rescue.

While in our care all rats will be provided with proper food, housing and health care until their forever family is found. Adequate time to adjust to their new surroundings at Pitter Patter will be allowed, which means availability to be adopted will occur after 2 weeks, unless otherwise stated in their profile. All animals in care will be treated with love, respect, and understanding, by those with knowledge of rats.

Our mission is to rehabilitate and rehome all domesticated pet rats needing our help that come into care at Pitter Patter Rat Rescue. We provide help to rats and rat owners in Kamloops, Kelowna and surrounding areas.
