RATS Animal Rescue (formerly known as Rehoming Animal Telephone Service) is a small animal rehoming charity based in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
We provide love, care and protection for unwanted and abandoned dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs and look for committed, loving homes for our animals.

Exciting news!
We’re incredibly proud to share some truly inspiring news about two very special members of our RATS family. Jenna, who once led the dog teams here at RATS, and Ralph, an extraordinary deaf and blind Collie rescued by our team, have been shortlisted for a BBC Make a Difference Award!

Current Fundraiser
Roo is now around five and a half months old and weighs 7.8kg, but when she was found at just three months old, she was heartbreakingly tiny - barely 3kg, weak, malnourished, and all alone on the streets. She’d been left to fend for herself, but after being picked up by the dog warden and taken to the pound, RATS stepped in to offer her the help she so desperately needed.
Every donation, no matter how small, means more than you can imagine. Your contribution will go directly toward her vet bills and ongoing treatments, bringing Roo one step closer to the healthy, joyful life she truly deserves.
She has fought so hard - and together, we can ensure her story is one of hope, determination, and triumph. Please help us give Roo the future she’s always dreamed of.

Donate
As a small charity, dedicated to making a big difference, every single donation that we receive, however small, really does go a long way.
We've recently partnered with easyfundraising where you can raise free donations with over 8,000 retailers! It's really easy to sign up, find out more below.

Please note: although we do not take in rats, we do receive enquiries from time to time to help rat owners in the local area. If you are looking to rehome or adopt a rat, please contact us and we will do our best to help.
