Rescue in the North East of England

I do not know of any rat specific rescues in the North East, but there are many rescues that do take in rats, and a dedicated gang of individuals who both rescue and foster rats in need. If you are interested in finding out more, or getting involved please do get in touch.

The North of England Rat Society also runs a Rescue Fund which is available for anyone who works with rescue rats to apply to for help with costs (eg veterinary care or equipment). The accessibility of this fund has helped many adult male rats in particular, by paying for castrations so that these rats are able to easily accept other adult company prior to, or after homing. The NERS site has loads more detail about the Rescue Fund.

Rescue rats looking for homes in the North East

Meridian

Meridian is a lovely, newly castrated buck, who needs a confident new owner and some female rats to share his life. He is a black Berkshire, young adult male who had to be isolated from his buck group in his first home, as he was fighting with (and hurting) them. He came here to be castrtaed prior to rehoming. He's recovered well from the castration, but hasn't yet fully settled hormone-wise, and can be quite full of himself at time. However, he's not aggressive to me (I am quite a dominant female) and is clearly desperate for some company and social stimulation. He's very active and likes to be out and about. I feel he would benefit from a home with some relatively strong female rattie company and since the people I have waiting for castrated buck don't really match the home I have in mind I have decided to advertise him as available.

If you are interested in homing Meridian please email me. You will be asked to complete our application form and a home check may be required.

Liza often has rescue rats available. She can be contacted through the NRSA.
