Meet twin sisters Lilum and Calla. They are nearly identical in appearance, with dumbo ears, the softest white fur and the cutest brown nose smudges. But Calla is slightly smaller then her sister, and also slightly more scared.
Both girls were part of a group of rats surrendered to the rescue after their previous human had an oops litter and ended up not being able to give them the care or attention they needed. Born right after Christmas of 2025, these girls are now nearly 1 year old and unfortunately have not been well socialized and barely handled. They are currently living with an experienced foster mom who is doing her best to show the girls that humans aren’t so bad.
Of the two, Lilum has definitely come around the most. With encouragement, she will actually climb onto her human and take treats from the hand. Calla unfortunately is still very scared. Neither of them want to be handled (yet) although we are seeing lots of curiosity and signs that things will improve with patience and lots of love.
These girls would do best joining a family with other more confident rats and a human guardian who has experience and lots of patience to spare.
So do you have the time, patience and the willingness to take on this challenge? Just look at these sweet faces, and you can tell these girls have so much love to give.
If you would like to inquire about adopting Lilum and Calla please fill out an adoption application form. We will prioritize applicants who currently have female rats (or neutered males) and have experience with scared/skiddish rats.
