They aim to provide a safety net for these animals and give them a permanent home, where all their needs will be met.

This event is capped at 8 people, but please log your name in the sign-up sheet’s waitlist section if we have met our cap or to indicate interest in future volunteer opportunities with Rat Way Sanctuary. We will send out a carpool sheet and Rat Way Sanctuary’s address to volunteers.
