Family Affair Ratz
We are a small family run rattery located in northern Pasadena. We have been dedicated hobbyists in the rat fancy game, and are now breeding from time-honored stock. Our animals are bred for personality, temperament and health. We breed sparingly, choosing to devote time and energy to raising beautifully socialized animals! We breed these intelligent, affectionate animals to produce loving family pets.
We believe rats are wonderful pets for anyone who is interested in them! They are gentle, clean, intelligent, and therapeutic. Please ask about our priority for chemo patients who want a hairless rat!
We only breed a couple of times a year. This is a love, not a business. This ensures that we have the time and resources to take care to produce amazingly well socialized and loving pets!
Dwarf Rats Our dwarf rats will steal your heart! We have a variety of colors and patterns, and have hairless and are working on double rex and harley!
Hairless Rats Our hairless rats are the stars of the day! We are blessed with lactating hairless lines...these are healthly babies!
Other Fancy Rats Beautiful siamese, burmese, hooded, blazes and
the occasional tailless!
None right now!

Looking Forward
In January we will be breeding the next step towards dwarf and dwarf hairless. You probably see that we don't breed very often, but we are breeding a bit more frequently just because my beautiful ratties have amazing bloodlines that I don't want to lose! Thanks for your patience.
Wait Listers: Email me if you are interested in being put on FAR's list. It is your responsibility to keep checking the site! If you have not adopted from me before I will need to know how you plan to keep these animals, cage type, bedding type, food, etc. Please put RAT in the subject line!
Please be patient if you are on our waiting list. We only breed a few times a year. This is a love, not a business. We won't promise specific animals at specific times. We breed carefully and thoughtfully, and if you are on our waitlist, and if we have someone in our litters that we are not going to keep for breeding that fits with what you want then we try to place them with you!
If you have rats already we will not adopt out rats of the opposite sex unless you are a confirmed breeder associated with a rat group, such as CARE, AFRMA or RMCA, or unless we have worked with you before.
FAR will only give breeding contracts for rats to established breeders.
WAITING LIST *
When you ask to be put on my waitlist I contact you when the next babies are born. If the particular litter does not interest you but you would still like to remain on the waitlist you MUST CONTACT ME WITHIN THREE DAYS OF NOTIFICATION. I will be happy to keep you on the waitlist but you need to confirm that you are still interested.
Waiting list people are required to check the new litters pages and contact me with a deposit within a week of the pics being posted. I have had too many wait listers change their minds, and then the poor ratties miss out on amazingly good owners! Rat babies for people on the wait list will be listed as pending, but only for one week.
FAR always get p.o.l.
Occasionally breeders will take priority over waitlisters.
Chemo patients always take priority for hairless rats.
If you have had or are currently undergoing chemo and are seeking a hairless rat (I got one during chemo and named her Alopecia!) let me know. I'll move you up on the waiting list! :0) God Bless!
Please remember: Rats are social creatures that do best with a companion of the same sex. Rats do not need to be littermates to be wonderful cagemates, so rats from different litters, even different breeders usually live together very well, especially if introduced at a young age!

If interested, contact us to get on a waiting list. F.A.R. always gets p.o.l. Adoption fees are really just a donation to offset the six two plus months of extra care and special enrichment that the mamas get during pregnancy and until they wean their babies. I request a donation of $25 standard ear, $30. dumbo ear. These fees/donations help to cover the cost of cages, high quality food and and health maintenance. Occasionally different fees are requested, as posted. Happy Ratties!
