Please understand that it is not that we do not care and we TRY our utmost to get back to anyone in due time but that is not always possible given that life can be turbulent at times! Thank you for your understanding ❤️

A friendly reminder that while we try and be on the ball with responding to people, we aren't magic and can't respond before we've seen the message❤️ we also do have lives and are busy running a rattery, have a day job, running a side business, and still have to make time to look after ourselves, partners and the rest of our animals.

If you need to get hold of us, please message us on WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook, and we will respond as soon as we see it. Please do NOT call as we do not answer calls from numbers we do not have saved, due to issues in the past.

Loves and hugs,
Calico Family ❤️

Hello everybody! Yes it has been a while but we are still here!

Following current events, we deem it fit to address the inevitable.

When you adopt from a rattery such as this, or from any of the other ratteries linked to me, you are adopting an unimaginable amount of work, time, blood, sweat and tears. We put such immense effort into our lines and we love all the rats that come out to you to live in your homes and bring you all the joy you are seeking with a companion animal.

After going through the, rather long yet entirely necessary, process it takes to adopt from us, we feel that we know a good amount of information about you and where you are in life in regards to the care of our babies we are entrusting to you. We always adopt out with the saying "If you have any questions at any point, please do not hesitate to contact me" and we mean it.

The main crux of the matter is the fact that we want you to feel like you can come to us and tell us about your situation. We would rather you come to us with the truth right off the bat and we will try and help if we can. If we cannot help you, for whatever reason, we WILL take the rats back and keep/rehome them should you not be able to keep them for whatever reason. That is our responsibility as a breeder and we take it VERY seriously.

Please refrain from lying to us. Life happens and we get it. We are here to listen, help and educate should you have life changing events resulting in you not being able to keep your rats and we will do the best job of looking after and rehoming them afterwards. Be straightforward and open a dialogue with us but don't tell us one thing when our rats are showing another.

All the best to everyone and we will be around again soon with some updates soon!

We will occasionally have rats available to the public for adoption. Each rat will have their own profile listed below. If you are interested in any of these rats please contact us and ensure that you have read through our Adoption Process document and have completed the Adoption Request form.
