Educational Events & Get-Togethers 

NIRO is dedicated to educating the public about the merits of domestic rats as companion pets. We also like to bring our rat-loving friends together for extra fun events like rat shows and BBQs. 

Event Schedule


Call for Artwork

 We are in need of new artwork of all styles to be featured on the website, in brochures and pamphlets, and on products. If you would like us to consider a piece of your rat-themed artwork displayed on T-shirts, totebags, mugs, mousepads, and even on our website please email artwork to niroart@gmail.com


Spotlight Interviews

 From month to month we will be conducting interviews of your favorite rat people, breeders, rescues, volunteers, product designers, etc. The goal of these interviews is to highlight individuals that are making a difference in the lives of rats everywhere and to show the public the determination and compassion of the rat community as a whole.

 If you would like to submit questions or nominate someone special please let us know! NIRORat@gmail.com
