Adopt from our Ontario Rat Rescue

You've decided you want to adopt rat(s) into your home, what's next?

  1. Read the info below!
  2. Browse our pictures and profiles for the adoptable rats!
  3. Fill out an application!
  4. If approved, bring home a new FOREVER friend!


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:

  • To determine your experience and knowledge of rats - that helps us to help you find the best rats that fit exactly what you are searching for.
  • To find out where you are at with setting up enclosures.
  • To ensure you will care for rats and take them to a vet if needed just like dogs and cats.
  • To ensure you have enough time to give rats the enrichment they and free roam time.


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!

The Rat Street Boys (6 )

    Info About The Rat Street Boys

    Meet the Rat Street Boys! There are 6 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 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.

      Huntsville Baby Boys (9 left)

        Info about The Huntsville Baby Boys

        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!

        12 week old Boys (7 to adopt)

          12 week old boys (7 to adopt, Arthur, Ontario)

          These lovely little ratties are looking for some forever homes as their owner unfortunately ended up with more rats than they intended. Unfortunately they were told they were adopting 2 females but were given a male and female and now have too many on their hands. They were sweet rats but are a bit skittish and would need some time learning to be handled. There are seven males and three females (D.O.B March 7, 2025). Located in Arthur Ontario.
