- Monthly updates so you can follow the life and career of Ronin.
- An APOPO plush toy rat.
These eco-friendly APOPO HeroRAT soft toys are made from a completely recycled (yet still divinely soft!) Velboa body and they are stuffed with 100% recycled PET stuffing. These HeroRAT soft toys also feature their tricot harnesses, which our real HeroRATs wear to work!
Silk-screen printing has been used for the branding on the harness, and there is cotton embroidery on the face, with lifelike and gorgeous long whiskers! The HeroRAT toys are also hand-finished in the UK to ensure we are aligned with our ethical values in terms of labour.
These life-size soft toys are adorable and would make the perfect gift for the humanitarian, or rat lover in your life.

Great Package!!
I “adopted” Ronin for myself for my birthday. I’ve loved Apopo’s mission for a while, and seeing some changes in the geopolitical world that may have led to some reduced funding convinced me to act. The package is great. The plush is fantastic, but what I REALLY enjoyed was the nicely printed packet of information about the HeroRat program. It was fun and interesting learning more about this ambitious project. If you’re thinking about making this purchase, definitely do. It’s a great product that supports a great organization.

One of the best presents he has ever gotten
My son has been begging for a hero rat ever since he saw the ad for the program on Facebook. He loves rats in general, but absolutely loves that these little critters can work so closely with humans to help people. Once he heard about the TB rats his new goal has been to become an immunologist like his dad and work with the samples that HERO'S sniff out. With tha dream came this adoption package. He snuggles his stuffed rat every night and took his information package into his school class to share about these amazing critters. The information on Ronan was enough to fill his imagination with so much to think and write about, it's amazing! 10/10, this package truly has it all and we will be adopting over and over again! (Though maybe buying a dinner for two would mean fewer stuffies for me topick up lol).

High-quality merchandise. High-quality cause
I LOVE my new plush HeroRat. Beautiful and made very well. My "adoption" of HeroRat Shuri also came with a lovely certificate with my name on it and a very informative packet about "my" HeroRat and all about what Apopo does and about HeroRat training. Great detailed interesting info. I look forward to receiving my monthly email updates and following HeroRat Shuri's career. Thank you to all HeroRats, HeroDogs, and HeroHumans for your life-saving work. Rest in Peace, HeroRat Magawa.

Love my HEROrat!
Apopo is one of my favorite organizations, so I was excited for this adoption package. I also love that I'll receive e-mail updates on what my HEROrat is doing to help throughout the year. This little hero rat is just so adorable! Makes a great gift for someone who loves rats--even if it's yourself!

Most Unique Gift!
This is an adorable and thoughtful gift for the TRUE animal lover in your life. I am talking about the lover of ALL animals, even the rats ;) My husband was fascinated by an article about the landmine sniffing rats and I was so excited when I discovered this non profit! The stuffed animal you get is exactly like the photo. It is really soft and good quality. The 'adoption' papers are very cute. You get a certificate and dossier on your rat and the program. Along with all of that you get updates on your rat via email. I do love other non profits where you, for example, buy a goat for a family, etc. But what sets the HERORAT ADOPTION PACKAGE apart is how personal it is. You are sponsoring a particular rat. It feels more specific and therefore feels like a more personal gift for your loved one. And on top of everything else, the customer service is awesome! Really quick and friendly responses to questions. Perfect Gift!
