Re-homing Dogs, Cats, and Small Mammals
The Re-homing Animal Telephone Service (RATS) is a small, completely self-funded, 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 with our 'opt to adopt' philosophy, we look for committed, loving "furever" homes for our animals. Whether you are a first-time or experienced owner, please get in touch and help us to give our animals their second chance at happiness.
Of course we could not carry out our work without the help of our caring and dedicated team of fosterers and volunteers.
Would you like to become one of our fantastic small mammal fosterers? Or join our team of wonderful dog walkers? Or do you feel you could you help us to raise much-needed funds by helping out at our events or in our shop? Please contact us. We would love to hear from you!
Email: info.rats@gmail.com
As a volunteer-led organisation, we aim to reply to everyone within 48 hours. If you don't hear back from us, please double check your junk mail. Thank you!
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.

The RATS Family stands with the animals of Ukraine
On Monday 21st March, Herts County Councillor Jeff Jones and a team of volunteers drove the Buntingford Community Bus to the Ukraine/Poland border to deliver humanitarian aid.
We were delighted that they were able to make some space on the bus to also deliver much-needed supplies to the Ukrainian animals, which RATS co-ordinated.
For those who weren’t able to donate supplies, but would still like to help, we are also running a fundraiser, with ALL funds raised going straight from RATS to the shelters in Ukraine (and the surrounding countries who have been taking in abandoned Ukrainian pets).
To find out more and to make a donation, please see here.
