Thanks to the patience of their foster parents, they have become more comfortable with human interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Sazameir is a very curious girl and is often at the door waiting for some talks and pets. She lets us pick her up with zero fuss and absolutely loves running around on free roam time. She is a very sweet girl and has the cutest little face when she wants attention from us.<\/p>\n<p>Melrose is still hesitant about being picked up and tries to hide but she never panics. We can usually get her out on the second or third try so she&#8217;s getting better and with more love and care she could potentially start coming out on her own. She loves her hammock and head scritches when she&#8217;s out with us in her bonding scarf.<\/p>\n<p>These two would do best with a return adopter or someone who has had shy rats to help Melrose come out of her shell more. Both are mostly litter box trained too.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p><strong>Sazameir<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/MyzbkM1f\/sazameir.jpg\" alt=\"sazameir\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Melrose<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/HDB562bq\/melrose.jpg\" alt=\"melrose\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Together<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/9HyKQgJb\/sazameir-melrose.jpg\" alt=\"sazameir melrose\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:600px;--awb-max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:58.33%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jqXbzK3jdX8?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:600px;--awb-max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:58.33%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qVDw_0PxSmI?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":37362,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-available"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/sazameir_melrose_thumb.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Jamie Cross","author_link":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/author\/jamie\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37356"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37356\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37548,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37356\/revisions\/37548"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mainelyratrescue.org\/rattieblog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
