Thank you for visiting my page! ππInspirit means to encourage and enliven or fill with spirit, and it is my belief that rats do just this. I have been involved with animals for over 30 years and previously bred German Shepherds, also very focused on ethics and genetics, and worked with breeders internationally. In a past career I also worked as a dog trainer and did a lot of rescue work as well. B
ecause of life changes and family commitments I had to step away from that 20+ years ago. Over the years I was introduced to rats and their intelligence and social/empathetic nature and value as therapy animals quickly won me over (once I got past the tails!!). I work in healthcare as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse and I am a strong advocate for mental health and do feel that animals who show empathy and high emotional intelligence are valuable to help people of all ages through struggles. With the rise of everyday expenses for people, I feel that rats are a great family pet with dog-like traits at a much lower cost and lower maintenance. Inspirit Rattery was formed in 2022. My focus is on small-scale breeding as a hobby, breeding for health and temperament. I am conscious of not over-breeding and carefully screening new homes to help ensure lifetime commitment to the animal. Working with other ethical and well-established breeders - tracking genetics to work on goals, and being committed to learning. I am dedicated to promoting rats as wonderful pocket pet companions and helping to reduce the stigma surrounding them. My rats are tested negative for all zoonotic diseases to ensure no health risk to the public. This is particularly important for those with children or who are immunocompromised and to ensure no public health risk. My rattery offers a 12 month health and temperament warranty with replacement or refund, and lifetime breeder support. Inspirit Rattery is located in Kamloops, however transport may be available via ground or air, and we have references from families throughout BC, Yukon and Saskatchewan!
