About this Rat
This rat is part of a group of undersocialized rats from an overcrowding situation. He can be friendly but is currently very shy around people and will will need a patient adopter who can work with him to be more comfortable around people. He may do best with another well matched more social male rat.Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2âx2.5âx2â, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat you are interested in, please give us a call!* If you think you are a good fit, stop by Tues-Sun from 1-4 during our open hours!

Adopt NOSFERATU and Receive NOSFERATU's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, NOSFERATU's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is NOSFERATU's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the NOSFERATU, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming NOSFERATU'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 NOSFERATU was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, NOSFERATU’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the NOSFERATU’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, NOSFERATU’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!
