Rat/Mice

ADOPTION Application

Thank you for your interest in adopting a rodent from Empty Cage Collective. The animals available for adoption have been rescued from abandonment, abuse, neglect and other forms of cruelty. We want to ensure that the best possible home is found for the animals that have been entrusted into our care.

Please note that there is a required adoption donation to adopt a companion animal from us, as rescuing animals properly is an expensive endeavor. It costs substantial amounts of money to provide the extensive care (day-to-day care, medications, emergency veterinary care, etc.) which most rats need after we rescue them. We appreciate any and all donations – whether they are in the form of needed supplies, food, veterinary care, or cash.
