Henry's Haven Rat Rescue

We started adopting rats from other rescues across Ontario, and decided we'd like to help out these very misunderstood creatures. Please take at our website as well, where we sell hammocks to enrich the lives of rats and other small creatures. We are a non profit organization and rely solely on the sales of our hammocks, and donations.
