Dispatches From Rat Owners
"
I got my boyfriend a rat named 'Kevin' in the Bronx for Valentine's Day. He has never laughed harder. Kevin now has a permanent spot on the fridge.
Sarah M., Brooklyn
"
My coworker always says she wants to move to NYC. So I named a rat after her. She cried laughing. Best ten bucks I ever spent.
Jake T., Chicago
"
I have a framed certificate in my office for 'Sir Reginald Cheddar III' of the Upper West Side. Every client asks about it. Conversation starter of the century.
Maria K., Manhattan

Named a rat after my ex. It lives near a dumpster in Staten Island. Poetic justice.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Is this a real rat?
Every sighting comes from NYC's actual public records. Real GPS coordinates, real borough. Whether your rat is still at that exact location is between you and the rat.
Is this legally binding?
Absolutely not. This is a novelty gift for entertainment purposes. We claim no jurisdiction over the rats of New York City.
Can I visit my rat?
You're welcome to visit the GPS coordinates on your certificate. We cannot guarantee your rat will be there, respond to its name, or agree to a photo.
Is this a good gift?
It is the best worst gift. Or the worst best gift. Either way, they will remember it forever.
