Unfortunately, rats are with us only for a short time. Some come to us near the ends of their lives – whether this be due to age, illness, or neglect – and some live with us, fosters, and adopters for years to come. Though short, these wonderful creatures each leave an incredible mark on us. This page is in memory of the rats who left us too soon, and a compilation of their stories.
