Rats:
Marvin: pending
*single male Rex rat *approximately 1 year old as of 2/24 * Marvin is albino. -Sylvester and Martin came in as an owner surrender. Unfortunately the person who owned them previously left the boys with her mother who was terrified of them and wouldn’t touch them. When they were brought to us, Sylvester was in bad shape. He had an upper respiratory so bad he could barely breathe and he was emaciated from being so unhealthy. Unfortunately we tried to make Sylvester better but we believe the long term neglect affected him and he passed away after a few weeks :( Marvin is fat and healthy and happy and just needs to find his forever family! He is the sweetest thing and thrives on love and attention. He went too long without love and wants all the pets and snacks and cuddles! He is such a good boy and just needs a loving retirement home to live out the rest of his life and be spoiled. He would probably be able to be adopted with one of our other adoptable boys with slow introductions. Interested adopters can fill out our adoption application here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html . Adoption fee is $20 for a single, $30 for a pair, $45 for a trio. And $55 for a quad.

We are gonna start slowly making them available and ready to find forever families! All of these boys are so laid back and sweet. They are not scared of humans, don’t mind being held and loved on, and are just lovely. All of these guys had varying degrees of hair loss and scars from being in such a bad environment but they are well on their way to being gorgeous boys!

Lance: pending
*single neutered male dumbo rat *approximately 8 months old * gray with a little white on his belly. - Lance came to us with a group of ratties from a hoarding situation. Unfortunately in the group of males he was in there was some squabbling and Lance was injured causing him to have to have an emergency neuter with our vet :/. He is healing up wonderfully and is ready to find a home with either other sweet males, or even with females 30 days after his surgery has been done. Lance is super sweet and friendly, likes attention, and didn’t mind at all all the care he got while he was injured lol. He’s just a great little boy. He would probably be able to be adopted with one of our other adoptable boys with slow introductions.

Solo
*single male dumbo rat *approximately 10 months old * black with a little white on his belly. -Solo came to us with a group of ratties from a hoarding situation. He has proven to us here that he prefers to live as a single rat with lots of attention (he will hurt other ratties if housed with them). Solo is super sweet and friendly, likes attention, loves scratches, and doesn’t mind being held. Interested adopters can fill out our adoption application here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html . Adoption fee is $20 for a single, $30 for a pair, $45 for a trio.

Catherine and Nelly: pending
*pair of female rats *mom Catherine is about 4 months old and daughter Nelly was born on 4/12/24 *Nelly black/white standard hoodie and Catherine black/white standard berk -Mama Catherine came in after she was being sold as feeders. She was with a male, our Ratcliffe who has since been adopted, so she went on pregnancy watch and gave birth to babies a few weeks later! She had four little babies! She is now being adopted out with her daughter Nelly. Mom is a super sweet girl who is very outgoing and people friendly and Nelly has been handled since before her eyes opened so she is also super people friendly. They like being petted and picked up. They would do great with a group of other female ratties or on their own as a pair. They must be adopted together. Female rats are usually more active and playful while males are usually more cuddly and lazy.

Chinchillas
Sparky: Pending
*single male chinchilla *Approximately 9 months to a year as of April 2024 -Sparky came to us after we were contacted by a shelter that took them in as a humane case. Apparently him and six other chinchillas were dumped in a cage in a dumpster :(. Before they got to them, three passed, and two others had to be euthanized for injuries. Only him and another female were able to be saved and to now find a forever home :(. The female is in foster on pregnancy watch but Sparky can find a new forever home! Sparky is a very sweet boy who is surprisingly friendly considering what he has been through! He comes up to you, and though nervous at first with hands, he does allow petting and handling. He is a good boy. He can go to a home with another male chin to live with, or as a single boy. Chinchillas can live twenty years! We do not recommend them for children because of their care needs and energy level. He must go to a home with a large multi level cage and lots of toys and perches for him to explore! Interested adopters can fill out our adoption application here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html. Adoption fee is $50 for a single chinchilla.
Hamsters
Ava
*orange/red short haired Syrian hamster *Born 8/23 -This sweet girl came up with a group of hams we took from a rescue that pulls animals from kill shelters down south. They had been dumped at a high kill shelter in NC. They are sweet little girls, though a little bit skittish at first, they just need some more handling to get used to being picked up, especially cause they’re essentially still babies! They didn’t offer to bite at all just protested a little bit by hamster yelling lol. We recommend large size hamster cages for Syrians (critter trail cages are not sufficient), with lots of activities, things to climb on and chew, and solid bottomed wheels to run on, as well as a good healthy hamster diet supplemented with fresh foods. Interested adopters can fill out our adoption application here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html Adoption fee is $20 for a single hamster.
