The Fab Rat Festival was so much fun. Thank you so much to Maria for putting together such a great day. It was great to be able to walk around with a rat on each shoulder and no one thought it was weird!!!! We met some great rescues and wonderful animal loving people. We are looking forward to next year.
Who We Are
Pitter Patter Pocket Pets is dedicated to finding homeless small animals of all ages furever homes. All of our pocket pets are socialized and loved while in our rescue. Our rats must be adopted in pairs or have a cage mate waiting for them as rats are extremely social animals. Rats make great pets for people of all ages. Our ferrets also love to have a buddy to play with but some are single because they chose to be single, meaning they do not like to share their person or living space with other ferrets.. My own children love walking around with the rats on their shoulders. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. We are also in need of foster homes. Donations are greatly appreciated.
The rescue works together with the foster homes to rescue small animals from kill shelters and find them loving, forever homes. Pitter Patter Pocket Pets is also dedicated to the prevention of unwanted litters. All proceeds from donations go toward our rescued animals veterinary care. Our pet list includes companion animals who are in need of loving families!
NEW RESCUES
FOSTER HOMES We are ALWAYS in need of new foster homes!!! We will supply the cage, water bottle, food bowl and of course the piggies.
