Key to a Rat's Heart Rescue has had the joy and honor of rescuing rats in need for 6 years. It all began with a tiny Siamese rat named Java, and ever since we have been taking in rats in need and finding them their own forever homes. We believe EVERY rat is worth rescuing, and we know that miracles do happen! JOIN US in our mission to rescue and hope that one day -- we won't have to!
This rescue doesn’t have any adoptable pets right now – check out adoptable pets nearby or start a custom pet search below.
We serve Washington State and Oregon areas, and are more than willing to form adoption trains elsewhere.
