Stanley & Brando
Both boys were rescued by a kind lady in Kingston right before they were to become snake food. Stanley is much larger and very outgoing where as Brando is smaller and takes a little longer to warm up to you. Both boys are oh so sweet and really bask in any attention they get.
Please do not let the fact that these boys are albino put you off. Fur-colour and eye-color are not an indication of temperament or personality. Just like other rats, these brothers are looking for a loving home of their...

Update: Spirit
On September 25, 2014 we took in a frail, thin, and very sick little girl. Quite honestly, we had fears that she wouldn't make it to October - but had resolved to make whatever time she had left with us as positive, loving, and nurturing as possible.
This is Spirit today. She has exceeded all our expectations and has overcome so many obstacles.
In the last two months and a bit we've watched her put on healthy weight and learn to trust humans, under the loving and devoted hands of Anita...

Molly, Maggie & Mr. Moo
Meet Mr. Moo, Maggie and Molly, three of the most adorable and friendly rats you will ever meet. Poor Mr. Moo was found trying to survive outside. He was infested by a huge bot fly larva, then later had to recover from a massive abscess in his side and groin. Just when we thought he had found his perfect home, the hormones kicked in, and Mr. Moo had to be separated while he waited for a neuter. Now much calmer, Mr. Moo lives with two of the Blonde sisters, Maggie and Molly who were surrendered a...

Louie, Franklin & Gamer
Franklin was a rescue from a Kjiji Ottawa ad. The photo that was provided by his previous 'owner' showed a tiny hamster cage with a sickly looking rat curled up inside. We knew we had to go and get him. Now he lives in a big cage with other boy ratty friends, and life is great! Louie was surrendered by his previous owners after they decided they had no more time to care for him. His back and sides were solid with scabs and clumps of his fur were missing everywhere from the worst mite infestation...
