Meet Sal & Pimienta – A Dynamic Duo Ready for Their Forever Home!

Sal & Pimienta are a gorgeous bonded pair of male rats who are finally ready to find a forever home to call their own. These two have been through a bit of a journey together, having recently recovered from a respiratory infection (RI), but with plenty of TLC and good care, they’re now fighting fit and eager to start the next chapter of their lives.

Sal is the more curious and confident of the pair, always the first to poke his nose out and see what’s happening, while Pimienta is a little more reserved but incredibly sweet once he feels safe. Together, they make the perfect team – playful, affectionate, and full of personality.

These boys are looking for a home where they’ll have a large, well-set-up cage with plenty of opportunities for climbing, foraging, and exploring. Enrichment is a must to keep their intelligent little minds happy and healthy. Of course, no ratty home would be complete without daily out-of-cage time for cuddles and social interaction – something both Sal & Pimienta absolutely adore.

If you’re ready to share your life (and your snacks!) with two charming, cheeky companions, Sal & Pimienta can’t wait to meet you.

Please Note:

Please visit our Animal Rehoming Centres during opening hours to meet our animals and adopt. No appointment is needed. For select animals, we will require an email application. Where this is the case, instructions will be specified on the animal's profile.

This website is live and updates frequently. To check if an animal is available, please check their adoption profile. If it is active and hasn't been marked as 'adopted', the animal is still here.

Please be aware there is a chance that by the time you arrive at our location, the animal you have an interest in might have been adopted, or another party might be going through the adoption process.
