Adoption Policy
Here you will find an overview of our adoption policies. All potential ad
opters must read through these policies and our adoption contracts in order to understand what is expected of the adopter before and after the adoption of our rats. By signing the adoption contract upon pick up of your rats, you are agreeing to all stipulations located here and in the contract.
Rattie Tattie Rescue retains all ownership rights of rats until both the rescue and the adopter have signed the contract. Rats are to go to loving homes and not to be used as breeders, research or feeders or unattended classroom pets. We reserve the right to decline any adoption application for any reason. If you currently do not own rats, we will only adopt out in pairs or more, as rats are social creatures and need companions. If you are adopting a friend for your current rat(s), we will gladly adopt out singles.
Adoption fees are as follows:
Single Rat $15
Rat Pair $20
Trio $25
Quad $30
Mice $5
Pair $10
Gerbils $10
Pair $15
Single Guinea Pig $25
Piggie Pair $40
Bunnies $35
The adoption fee is for several reasons, including but not limited to: ensuring that applicants are serious about the pet adoption, helping with the cost of care for our rats, and ensuring that our rats will not be used as feeders.
*Contact us to inquire about recommendations on Cincinnati area vets that do spays, neuters and surgeries.

- We require the adoption application to be filled out honestly and completely. If ANY information is found to be false BEFORE or AFTER adoption, the adoption contract is void.
- If you do not own your home and are renting you must provide proof from your landlord that rats are permitted as pets in your home.
- We require weekly updates of your new ratties for the first month.
- If you move, change phone numbers, email addresses, etc., you must let us know so we have a means of contacting you for updates in the future.
- If you must give up your rats in the future, or can no longer care for them, they must be returned to us. We must approve of any other home before the rats are placed with any other person.
