PLEASE NOTE: Our rats can be adopted ALL OVER ONTARIO! We have wonderful volunteers and can arrange rides to almost anywhere so don't let the location stop you from inquiring about some ratties!
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 most "human-like" of any companion animal we've ever had.
If you've decided you want to adopt a pet rat, please fill out the adoption application form below. The questions we ask are to determine the following so please be as honest and open as you can
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 the 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 you and the rats.
We have done rat adoptions in Hamilton, Burlington, Mississauga, Toronto, Kitchener, London and other cities in southern Ontario. We also 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.
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.
This adorable trio of boys are around 1 year old. They are the absolute perfect rats! They have been having such bad luck with multiple pending adoptions falling through. They want a family so badly and will make the perfect addition to any home whether you have experience with rats or not!
They are easy to handle, love to be hand fed snacks and enjoy exploring their play pens. Will you help us finally give them their forever home??
Tom and Jerry are about 1 year old. They were surrendered to our rescue fairly recently. They are a bit scared and skittish but with the right family who will be a bit patient with them, we know they'll warm up and come out of their shells. We have seen so many times where with the right environment and patient family, they skittish rats can warm up super quickly to their humans. They would do well with someone who has experience with rats and knows how to give them the time they need to get used to friendly people.
Alfredo and Linguini are between 10-12 months old. One is albino Himalayan, and the other is Siamese. These boys are very friendly and social. Alfredo was in another home but didn’t integrate well so he came back to the rescue but was immediately integrated with Linguini and they get along so well!
Albert has been at Frankie world for a few months now while he was recovering from a prolonged skin irritation. He has a wound that was tricky to heal but has finally gone away and he is ready for his forever home!
Albert is a solo male that does not like being around other rats. He is very happy to get love from just his human family which means he must go to a home on his own and will never be able to be integrated with other rats.
Biggie Smalls came to us a couple months ago with a lump on his ear that his previous owner was not able to care for. The lump needed to be removed so we got him straight into our vet and he has had a great recovery! He's a very cuddly boy that's ready for a new life and for his new family to give him lots of 1:1 attention.

These bonded brothers are extremely sweet and love to eat food from your hands without nipping! We are still working at handling them as they can be a bit skittish but they are warming up to us more and more every day. They would love someone who can be patient with them being handled and understand that sometimes they want to spend time with you, crawl on you but not be held. The more time spent with them, the more they allow us to hold them.
These boys are all very sweet, friendly, confident and cuddly. They have a lot of energy and are so excited to have a home of their own! They will make a great addition for any level of experience with ratties. They must go in pairs or more.
Pikachu is around 4 months old (black and white dumbo). Bulbasaur was born March 1, 2024 (black top ear). Charmander was also born March 1, 2024 (light fawn top ear). The other 6 boys are siamese top ear and born March 10, 2024.
Buck is a solo male living with someone in Waterloo who need a new home. He is about 8 months old. He does well being held but can be shy when out of his cage. He's an adorable fancy rat with a white belly and he LOVED yogurt treats and hanging out in his hammock.
