About this Rat
Buster and Beans are young male rats born February 2, 2025 after a family bought a female rat from a "breeder" and she turned out to be pregnant. These boys are on the shyer side and will require patience while they settle into a new environment. The are still very active and playful. They like to be out, but they do not love being picked up and held for any length of time. Out of cage play time and positive food reinforcement helps to develop their people skills. Proof of a proper enclosure is required: one with solid floors and shelves to prevent foot injuries, bar spacing small enough to prevent escape or heads getting caught, good ventilation to prevent respiratory issues, and enough room to climb, explore, and provide enrichment activities like digging, burrowing, and balancing. Four cubic feet per rat is optimal. Like other animals, rats are very intelligent and need mental stimulation. They are also social creatures so they should be adopted in pairs at a minimum. Rats are heat sensitive, so cage placement is important: an area in the home that does not get too hot in the warmer weather. They do best in areas that are completely dark for at least 8 hours a day with no nightlights or other ambient lighting. Their adoption fee is $40.

Please begin the process of claiming Buster and Beans's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Buster and Beans was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Buster and Beans’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Buster and Beans’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Buster and Beans’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
