I was coming in to say exactly this; I've donated to them in the past and they're amazing! And the rats are so interesting, I'd never seen ones so large before.

You must not be from a poor country... I remember I was 5 years old and our cat caught a rat almost as big as himself. It was huge! I'm 46 now but never forgot how big it was

Population density probably has more to do with how common rats are. They seem to be plentiful enough in most big cities.

Pretty sure first world cat catching initiatives increase the rat populations.

Not sure if being in a poor country would make them bigger.

Seem to get big enough in well off Sweden

Even pet rats get pretty huge though. Particularly the males. The one in the picture looks to have white and brown patches... You'd usually expect that on a hamster. That's a domestic rat.
