Review for North Star Rescue, Fairfield, CA, USA
I have worked with North Star Rescue for several years and found them to be extremely dedicated and tireless in working to find homes for rats and other small pets. They are also dedicated to spaying and neutering rats to make them more adoptable.

Review for RAT ASSISTANCE & TEACHING SOCIETY, Chico, CA, USA
I founded the Rat Assistance & Teaching Society to educate people about pet rats, and encourage people to treat them the same as any other pet. We are especially working to change the pet industry so that live rodents are only sold as pets, and frozen rodents are sold for snake food.
