Our Pet List



This website is dedicated to the rescue of the Fancy (pet) Rat, & finding them new forever homes. Rat Reruns is a privately run and no-kill rat rescue. We happily provide Rat care and health information, and adoption opportunities. We welcome the opportunity to visit pet supply stores and other venues to help educate people about the Pet Rat. Rat Reruns Rescue takes in unwanted, abandoned, and sometimes abused pets from humane agencies as well as private owners. Our rescue operates on my own income and the few donations we may receive. I am a member of South Michigan Rat Fanciers, and Ohio Rat Fanciers Association. and North American Rat registry. .


****Please be sure to click on the pet list, read about each available pet, and browse our photos. Because we have so many adoptable pets, we are unable to email pictures and descriptions to each person who requests them. Everything we know about our pets will be on their page. Visits are by appointment only so please call or email to schedule a visit with our available pets.Thank you for choosing to adopt through rescue!****

News!

We were told when applying that we do not make enough money and have enough expenses to be granted 501c3 status. I had never realized there was any limitation.

The following companies have generously provided donations to our Rescue in the past, and because we use their products we recommend them to all Rat owners!:
Wodent Wheels- Safe small pet exercise wheels-our rescue sells these as a fundraiser! They can only be purchased through distributors, like us.
Martins' Cages- Beautiful and functional cages & accessories for small animals and other pets
Nature's Earth Feline/All Pet Pine- A safe processed pine pellet litter for pets

More News!

We now have an Athens, Ohio adoption location!

Who We Are

Rat Reruns is a rescue and educational organization, which offers any support we can to owners of fancy pet rats. We offer public and classroom pet awareness and educational demonstrations. We offer information on pet care, behavior, training, and rescue organizations. When we have room for more rescues, we rehabilitate when necessary, and put our pets up for adoption after quarantine against illnesses. We are located in Columbus, and Athens, Ohio. We raise money with various fund-raisers, and those funds are used to pay for the medical care, feeding, bedding, housing, and other expenses that are incurred with rescuing pet rats. Euthanization is something that only occurs when there was no other medical option and/or no quality of life. All our pets are given every chance for a new life with a new family. f you are too far away, or we don't have the critter that fits with your family, there are always other rescue programs here on Petfinder with ratties in need of a home!

Adopting a friend

*Visits with our pets and adoptions are by appointment only. Please call or email the person they are with if you would like to adopt now, or be put on our waiting list for good homes. The waiting list is recommended especially if you are looking for a specific colored or aged rat. We have a contract that states clearly our expectations of potential adopters, and an application that helps match you with the right pet for your family. IF FOR ANY REASON you are unable to keep a pet you have adopted from us, you MUST return that pet to our rescue. We don't want our pets to slip through the cracks, and will carefully screen their new owners.

Surrendering your pet

Owners surrendering their pets must sign a form that gives our Rescue legal custody of the animal , and that gives us access to their vet records. We ask for the cage and all supplies with it, so your rat's home is familiar to it/them, and when possible we ask for a $25 surrender fee to help cover the veterinary exam and other expenses involved in caring for your rat(s) until such time as they are adopted.. This donation is only a request, not a requirement. Monetary donations to rat rescue is very uncommon, so all contributions are greatly appreciated!


Come Visit Us!

***Visits with our pets are by appointment only***
Rat Reruns is located In Worthington, just north of Columbus, Ohio.
email for directions or we can give you the address as Mapquest and Yahoo have us in their database accurately. Please do not bring your current pets to these visits. Introductions to your pets must occur in your own home, after your adoptees have been quarantined in your home for three weeks minimum. Introductions cannot take place here for health reasons. Many rat illnesses are airborn and we must protect our residents from possible exposure. Please do not handle any other rats or rodents prior to (on the day of) your visit to our home. Thank you for understanding.
