We will be at crisis capacity shortly. PLEASE watch our Petfinder if you are interested in adopting - we will be listing about 73 rats in the next few weeks. We NEED fosters, ESPECIALLY quarantines at this time. We also are seeking SMALL bar-spaced cages at this time.

Welcome

Hi there! Welcome to the Rattie Love Rescue website. We are a privately-run, in-home, not-for-profit small animal rescue, located in Cincinnati, Ohio. As you can probably guess by our name, our animals are mainly domestic pet rats, but sometimes pet mice or other small animals find their way to us.

April Avon Fundraiser

A wonderful woman who lives near us contacted us. She sells Avon products, and is doing a fundraiser for us. We get 10% of each website order.

All you do is go to her site and put in your order through THAT page (must be that one!). After you submit your order, go BACK to her page and email her. YOU MUST DO THIS, SO SHE KNOWS YOU ARE SUPPORTING US! There's a button on her site to make it easy-peasy for you. Just mention your name, and that you're supporting Rattie Love Rescue. She'll do the rest!

There's a free shipping code on her page as well, for you to use. :)

The fundraiser will be going on through April. If it's a success, we may try again in the future, OR she may take us on full-time! Thanks for your support!

Urgently Needed

We need at least one more quarantine home ASAP. It's a matter of life and death for a group of rats in need! Please read our volunteer page for info and contact us if you can help. Spread the word, if you can't!

"It's a Rat's World"

We are the featured shelter in "It's a Rat's World" Magazine, for April! We're super-excited about this opportunity. Be sure to get a copy (or better yet, subscribe!). ;)

Oh Wow

Absorption Corp., the wonderful company that makes CareFRESH bedding, donated a a supply of CareFRESH to Rattie Love Rescue! We are thrilled and honored. Thank you so much, Absorption Corp.! You are the tops!

Lucky Us

A wonderful woman named Branwen was so generous and wonderful to RLR! She donated 2 brand-new Martin's R-695 cages to us. We are so happy with the new additions, especially since Martin's has made the doors larger! Thanks so much, Branwen!

Lawyer-Type Needed

We are hoping to obtain our 501(c)3 status this year. We need the help of a legal professional who would be willing to offer their services. Please contact us if you think you can help!
