About Me

Hi!
I'm Zelda. I am a tan and white fancy rat.
I'm not actually 14 but they wouldn't let me be 4 months old. LOL
I was born in november 2006 to a beautiful mommy whose owners didn't know she was pregnant when they took her home.
They called the pet store, who offered to take all 11 of us back, but the family was leery of us being sold as food to people with snakes.
I was rescued in december by a girl with long pretty hair.
She drove to Philly to take pictures of me and my siblings to help get us adopted, but fell in love and took me home too.
They all went to excellent homes!
I love my big glass tank with lots of tissue boxes, paper towel rolls, string, rocks, and munchies.
I love my mommy too!
Thank you for taking me home!
If you're reading this profile please consider how much fun you're missing out on!
Adopt a rat or mouse today!
Please take a look at Kim's Ark Rat Rescue , the largest rat rescue operation on the east coast.
Please also check out the Any Rat Rescue site, another wonderful collection of humans who care.
If you think animal testing is a flaky liberal issue, take a gander at this .
(Nothing gross, I promise. Just an article about human pathology linking animal cruelty to human violence. A very quick read.)

I'd like to meet:

Other rats!
Or other animals even. And their loving humans.

People who've labored on behalf of abused or neglected animals.

People with hooded sweatshirts who aren't afraid of me so I can run around in your sleeves and sleep on your shoulders.

And anyone who will give me munchies.

(No cats please.)

Music:

I like it funky or dancy.

Franz Ferdinand
Buddy Holly
Beatles
Kylie Minogue
Beck
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dido
Garbage
Tom Petty
John Butler Trio
U2
Bjork

Movies:

Black and white stuff, since I'm color blind.

Television:

Animal Planet! Yay!
And the cartoon network.

Books:

I have recently enjoyed the printed matter on the side of the kleenex box I sleep in.
Apparently noses run? I did not know this.

I plan to write a thesis statement on the particulate matter within the sinus cavity and its deposit upon surfaces when forcefully projected from the nostrils, also known as "sneezing on glass".

Heroes:

Mommy
Animal Rescue networks everywhwere

SPCA
Hope For The Animals
Kim's Ark Rat Rescue
Any Rat Rescue

Companies who elect NOT to test on animals.

People who shop only with these companies.

Animal lovers, supporters, fosters, and activists.

Splinter the rat.

I am so confused. First of all, I understand that our humans are kind enough to wear clothing for the express purpose of giving us a place to snuggle and wiggle around. And I get the idea that it ge...

re: pedicures

She snuck it on me. She tried to do this a few weeks ago and I freaked. So this time she held me normally, talked to me, soothed me, and while I wasn't paying attention she slid my little toes a...
