Adoption Application Ratty Rat Rattery promotes responsible pet ownership. We want to ensure that all the rats we choose to bring into this world will be adopted by people who are knowledgeable about their needs and requirements and fully understand the commitment of having pets. This application is not meant to detour anyone from adopting rats, and if you've never owned rats, that's ok! We just want to make sure everyone learns about them first. Please note that your information is private, and we will not call you, or send you unwanted junk mail, nor will we give out your personal information to anyone else.
