Shadowheart (black and white) and Lae'zel (all black) are two lovely spayed rattie girls who are just shy of two years old - but you'd never know it! Shadowheart had a mild respiratory infection when she arrived, but is doing much better after a course of medication. Both girls are having a great time in their foster home, but would love a forever home (together, of course). Their adoption fee is discounted due to their age, but these girls have plenty of love to give.

Their foster notes:

Shadowheart: She’s the brave one! When I took them out of their cage to run around, she was the first to explore all the new places in the room.

Lae’zel: She’s a little more timid, but once she trusts you she’s the sweetest girl. She likes to be pet and held. She gets very attached and looks to you for safety. When I took them out of their cage, she preferred being close to me. But once she realized everything was safe, she also started to explore all the new places.

Both are great around dogs. I let my dogs come up to sniff the cage and they both greeted them from the inside of the cage. They’re very clean. They potty in their litter box. It’s rare I find anything outside the litter box!

If interested, please contact us at [email protected]. Please, serious inquiries only. Preference given for previous adopters/experienced homes.

It's Amber of Gwen's Managed Mischief Rat Rescue & Refuge 's birthday today, so that's one more reason you should check out this fundraiser. :) 🎉 🎁

***Rescue FUNDRAISER***

We are going to be doing a fundraiser for the month of June for Gwen’s Managed Mischief Rat Rescue & Refuge (https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZhQy1nXE/?mibextid=wwXIfr).

How it works is for every customer that places an order I will donate $5 to the rescue. There is no minimum amount you have to spend.

If anyone would like to purchase items to donate to the rescue we can do that as well! I will make a list of items they could really use and if you purchase any, you will NOT be charged shipping for those items (only your items being shipped to you). I will keep them aside and ship them directly to the rescue on July 1st (or when items are finished being made) and I will cover the shipping cost. So not only would you be donating items to the rescue but they will also be getting the $5 for placing the order.

Let’s help this wonderful rescue and their amazing efforts in changing the lives of these cute little ratties!! ❤️

And please go to their page and hit that Like button and give them some love and support!!

Update: home found!

GALVESTON/HOUSTON AREA: Young domestic rat was lucky enough to be found outside and taken in to safety, but finder cannot keep. Finder thinks is female, but not verified. Please contact Tonya at 832-499-5293 if you can give her a home (eventually joining same s*x rats ideally!)

Alternatively if transport can be arranged to Pflugerville we can take her into the rescue if needed, but hoping someone local can assist.

Teeny Kevin at 215 grams is now 13 grams lighter. ;) He may somehow be a dwarf that popped up in the lab line or he may just be a tiny boy but either way he's staying with me.

Fungus friends are finally ringworm negative just in time for Vincent to start showing hormonal aggression (bullying the others and giving me a nasty bite) so neuter time for him, Todd and Philbert. Bye, bye, balls! Kevin will be neutered soon (he's finally over 200 grams, yay!)

Augustine, formerly Socks, came to us (with transport help from Elizabeth Paek McAshan , huge thanks!) because he needed care his previous owner couldn't provide (namely, vet care/neutering for his hormonal aggression). He has now lost his testicle privileges and we are confident he will become a sweet and happy boy again.

Our Story

Central Texas Rat Rescue is a privately-run, in-home rescue located in Pflugerville, Texas. We rescue and adopt out domesticated (pet) rats throughout the state of Texas. We take in owner surrenders as space and funds permit but will always take back any necessary adoption returns. All rats are spayed/neutered and assessed for health and temperament before adoption. We are unable to offer assistance with wild rats of any kind.
