Ratapalooza involves a standards show (think cat or dog show on a much smaller scale) and a fun pet show, as well as plenty of learning and socializing opportunities with other rat lovers. There will be many breeders from across the Pacific Northwest, as well as several rescue groups who would love to fix you up with your new best friend. Additionally, there are lots of vendors of hammocks, supplies and unique arts and crafts that celebrate rats as pets, not pests.

Please note that rats are not sold at this event. This is because rats are not impulse purchases. The well-being of the rats always comes first.

Ratapalooza is organized and funded by volunteers from RatsPacNW Rat Fanciers Club, a 501(c)4 non-profit organization for rat lovers from the Pacific Northwest.
