I'm an adorable domestic rat who is very friendly and curious.  My sister and I came from another shelter, where 40 rats were housed for months awaiting the end of our owner's court case.  I'm learning to enjoy being handled, and a gentle adopter will help me learn to love it even more!  Rats are clean, affectionate, and super intelligent - we're so smart that you can easily teach us to do tricks!  We're also extremely social animals who don't do well living alone, so we must be adopted in pairs or trios (or fours, or fives. . .). :D I'm looking for an adopter who has some rat experience and will give me the time, attention, and love that we ratties require. Being constantly confined to a cage is NOT a good life for a rat and we need to spend quality time with our people every single day!
