PLEASE NOTE: Our rats can be adopted WITHIN a 2-3 hour radius of the GTA or Parry Sound, with possible exceptions depending on circumstances.
We hope your connection with Frankie's World and your rat(s) will be a lasting one, and we are here to support you through ALL OF IT: the adoption, transition, as well as ANY TIME in the future. We also LOVE getting updates on rats in their forever homes! SERIOUSLY, if you have ANY questions, want rat care tips or experience any issues at all, let us know! We are ALWAYS here for rats (whether they've been adopted from us or not), and the humans that care for them.
Thank you for your interest in pet rat adoption! Our rats have so much love to share and make the BEST companions! Super smart, social, and make very deep bonds with their people.
The questions we ask are to determine the following so please be as honest and open as you can:
MOST IMPORTANTLY, if for whatever reason you are no longer able to properly care for your rat(s), or you believe that your home is no longer a good fit for them, we ask that you PLEASE BRING YOUR RAT(S) BACK TO US! Please do not give away, sell, or re-home them on your own. There is absolutely no judgement, we understand that circumstances can change, and are happy to take them back into our care if need be, whether that be temporarily or permanently. We are not a rat breeder, we are a rat adoption centre and only want the best lives for our rescues. IF you need to return a rat(s), it is YOUR responsibility to get them back to us, whether that's to our physical location (most often Parry Sound where we have the most space), or a foster home if we can secure one. We can help with transport at times, in exchange for a donation to cover gas money and time, but our resources are thin, so we appreciate you taking the time to bring them back if they need to return to us.
We have connections with other Ontario rat adoption centres and can link you up with amazing rat shelters in Ontario if our rats aren't suited to you for whatever reason!
If you don't see any rats listed that feel like a good fit, we often have new intakes that aren't yet updated on the website, so if you are looking for something specific, send us a message and we can let you know who else we might have available!
Meet the Rat Street Boys! There are 9 sweetie pies looking for homes. They are being fostered near Milton. These boys were being bred for snake food and the person’s snake passed, so they surrendered the rest of their live feeders to us. These boys are all very sweet, many are very cuddly and confident. They are around 7-8 months old. They would make a great addition to any rattie home, whether first time owner or experienced folks! They would do best as being the only rats and not integrated with any current males.
Hello to our potential forever family! We are Turbo (black hooded, 1.5yr) and Tank (Grey, 1 yr). We are very friendly boys who are super curious and love free roaming. We come for snack sounds and love to cuddle! Can you give us a loving home for the last year(s) we have??
Hey there humans! We are Oreo and Poe. We live in a foster home in Parry Sound and need a new forever home. We are bffs so it would be awesome if we stayed together forever. My momma said we are 9 months old, and I have no idea what that means, but apparently humans like to know this fact! We are sweet, friendly and very curious boys. We like to hang out and play lotssss. Also if you give us head pets, that would make us super happy! We are used to being around people so you don’t have to have much experience to adopt us… we will show you just how awesome rats can be. If you want to be our forever home, my momma said there is a link you can click to fill out something called an adoption application. I have no idea what any of that means, but I hope there are cheerios involved! I hope we can meet you soon!!
We are a group of energetic and loving boys who have had a very rough start to life! We were born in not the best conditions or situation but some amazing people have helped us find a safe place to grow up and call a temporary home while we look for our forever families!
We love our brothers and must be adopted in at least pairs so we can have someone we love with us and trust with us while we make the transition to a new home. If chose, we will fill your home with lots of fun and cuteness!
We have 4 adorable, young male rats looking for a new forever home together!
Tuxedo is adventurous, loves to climb in his cage, and is very outgoing always ready for play time! He loves to play around with Spot. Smudge is more laid back, chill, a little bit shy and timid. He is the last one to go out of the cage but still enjoys free roam. Pepper is also snuggly and loved to hangout with his brothers or humans.
These 4 boys are around 5-6 months and so sweet and gentle. They were rescued as part of the big hoarding situation in Hamilton. They are bonded and must go home as a group of 4. They have been treated for mites and respiratory infections and are now ready to have a good time being well loved potatoes in their own forever home! They are currently located with our partner rescue (Serenity Guinea Pig and Friends Rescue) in Hamilton. Photos taken by Serenity.
