Heyo! Welcome to the Grumpy Rat! 

Welcome to Grumpy Rat, an indie clothing brand fully operated by, well… rats! That’s right, our team is a highly skilled mischief of rescued rats, working hard to bring you the most authentic rat merch. We’ve even got a human intern who handles the artwork – though we double-check all the designs ourselves!

Here at Grumpy Rat, we’re on a mission to change how the world sees rats. No longer the sneaky creatures in the shadows, we’re the loyal, affectionate, and incredibly talented beings we’ve always known ourselves to be! Every piece of rat-themed apparel is a chance for you to help us show the world that rats are more than just pets – they’re family.

We believe that rat enthusiasts like you deserve a way to showcase their passion boldly and stylishly, while also helping to challenge misconceptions and promote a more positive image of rats!

Who We Are

Our entire staff consists of rescued and adopted rats, all with their own unique personalities. Some are quiet thinkers, while others are mischievous troublemakers, but together we run a tight ship. Each rat brings something special to the table – or should we say to the nest – and their experiences inspire our one-of-a-kind rat-themed clothing. Our intern human is here to help bring our vision to life, under strict supervision, of course.

Our designs are brought to life by our human intern, who we’ve carefully trained to capture the true essence of rat life. Whether it’s the calm loaf of a contented rat, the cheeky energy of a rat in the middle of their daily zoomies, or the soothing sound of bruxing, every design reflects our real lives (with a dash of grump, of course). You can rest assured that all rat merch designs have been rat-approved before printing!

Our Model: Print on Demand

We use a print-on-demand system to make sure our designs are created sustainably and shipped globally at a reasonable price. This allows us to focus on what matters—producing awesome rat-inspired apparel—without wasting materials or overstocking. Here’s what you can expect from us:

Eco-friendly production: We only print what you order, keeping it green.
International shipping: No matter where you live, our rat merch will make its way to you without breaking the bank.
Quality assurance: Every order is printed to perfection, ensuring the colors pop and the designs last.

Why Grumpy Rat?

At Grumpy Rat, we’re more than just a clothing brand. We’re a revolution! Our goal is to change the world’s perception of rats, one rat merch item at a time. With your support, we can spread the message that rats aren’t just misunderstood—they’re clever, affectionate, and downright stylish. Plus, wearing our rat-themed apparel is a fantastic way to show your love for these whiskery wonders!

So, what are you waiting for? 🙂 Join the Grumpy Rat movement and help us spread the word that rats rule!
