Kepler & Leo

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Brothers Kepler and Leo have been through a lot and they have the physical scars to prove it. These boys are an estimated 1 to 1.5 years old. Both Kepler and Leo are missing fingers and toes. Kepler is also missing about half of his tail and there is some heavy scaring on what's left of it. Leo has some scars on his tail, but managed to keep the whole thing (somehow!) and still has a few stubs for fingers which he uses to expertly hold things. They need a cage/enclosure that is nice and wi...

Spidey & Jubilee

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Spidey & Jubilee. Fun-loving, active, super social baby girls who are looking for a home together. Spidey definitely lives up to her name as she has always been the most active and agile of all her siblings. Even when she was just a few day old, she was pulling herself along while her mom struggled to keep her contained. Now that she's grown up a lot more, she's become a true acro-rat. Jubilee is a little less active, but she keeps up with her sister just fine. Please note, these sist...

Seth & Rogan

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These boys were transferred to us from the Gatineau SPCA after no one seemed to want to adopt them. We can't understand why, because honestly, Seth and Rogan are two of the sweetest boys we have ever met. They are curious, extremely gentle, and wonderful little beings who are calm and tolerate handling very well. Being picked up isn't their favourite thing, especially not for Seth who tends to be a bit squirmy, but once they are in your arms and have a nice sweater to snuggle into, they are c...

Emma Frost, Jean Grey & Storm

Posted on by Rachel Shen
This mother-daughter trio is looking for a loving home where they will be able to stay together. Storm (right) was only 2 or 3 months old when she was dropped off extremely pregnant at a pound in Montreal. Thankfully, with the help of a few volunteers, we were able to make room for her and her 12 babies. Storm is the sweetest, friendliest girl you will ever meet, and her daughters, who have all already caught up to her in size are very similar. Do you have a special place in your heart ...

Stallone (“Squeaky”) & Van Damme

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet inseparable brothers Stallone ("Squeaky") and Van Damme. These two friendly, curious boys unfortunately waited months at a dog pound in Montreal before they were transferred to us for a better chance at adoption. As per their foster dad: "Both are still fidgety and get scared of sudden movements or unusual noises, but are very friendly and sociable. Squeaky loves being pat on the top of his head, and Van Damme likes to burrow into your shirt. You might need to get these two adopted AS...

Willy & Gulliver

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Willy & Gulliver were originally surrender to the Rescue because they were supposed to be extremely bitey.

Not only that, other then the occasional curious nibble of your finger nail, they have not bitten anyone! These boys are an estimated 6-8 months old and are absolutely bonded to each other. They aren't exactly the cuddling type, because they would much rather race...

Romulus (neutered) & Remus

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These two brothers were originally meant to be snake food. Thankfully, a kind lady stepped in and was able to save them from that fate at a fairly early age. Estimated to be about 6 months old, Romulus and Remus have tons of energy, love to explore, but still need a home that is patient and can continue to bring out their confidence and true personalities. As of late November 2017, Romulus has been exhibiting some hormonal behaviour. He will be neutered Dec. 14, 2017 and will be on medical ho...

Simon, Theodore & Alvin

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brothers (from left to right), Simon, Theodore & Alvin. These three are so similar, yet so different! They make the perfect trio of trouble-makers who will bring a smile to anyone's face. First, we have Alvin. He is the leader, the brave one and always the first one begging to come out at the cage door. He is almost always snuggling with someone or otherwise wrestling with one of his brother. Next, we have Simon. He is a total goofball who loves to play. The slightest ruffle of hi...

Beau (neutered) & Hugo

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Beau (neutered) and Hugo. Both boys were originally strays. Beau was found wandering around outside in Ottawa, while Hugo was found outside in Belleville. These two were likely made for each other, as they got along almost immediately and are both estimated to be around 6 months old. Of the two, Beau is much calmer and almost serene. It doesn't take him long to warm up to new people, and once he's decided he can trust you, he's fine with being picked up, and even cuddling a little. Hugo ...

Orbit & Flare

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Yes, they are pretty much the cutest little boys you will ever meet. Orbit & Flare are brothers who were originally bred to be snake food. They spent the first 7 weeks of their lives eating a mixture of dog food, bird seeds and rodent mix living in a 9L Rubbermaid bin. Thankfully, the human who had them before had a change of heart and decided she would no longer feed her snakes live rats. Understandably, Orbit and Flare are nervous about being touched or picked up. They absolutely LOVE to...

Pudge & Felix

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brothers Pudge and Felix. You will probably never meet a more adorable, squishable pair! Both these boys are estimated to be around 1 - 1.5 years old. Although they may be a little bit older, this just means they are calmer, cuddlier and so much more adorable. Pudge is definitely the braver of the pair, and will often curiously come out to meet strangers, while Felix prefers to hang back until he's sure things are safe. Both boys absolutely love banana, vegetables, and food in general. ...

Mathias & Murmur

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These brothers are extremely friendly and curious. They come to the cage door for kale (Mathias' favourite treat!), run around and explore in their play room, and enjoy interacting with their foster brothers. They absolutely LOVE to climb all over their foster mom and get the occasional head scratch. Mathias especially will beg at the door with his nose stuck as far out as possible. Though they are easy to handle, they aren't quite cuddly yet. Their natural curiosity means they would much rat...

Meet funny, curious, friendly boys Clyde and TJ. These boys are an estimated 4-6 months old and still have plenty of growing left to do. The boys are typical fun-loving, excitable, super active boys who will take every opportunity to explore, run around and sniff things. They are very fond of people and have no problems at all being picked up or handled. However, they would definitely prefer to run around and climb instead of just being held all the time. They have way too much energy to just...

Noel & Skippy (neutered)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet, scared brothers Noel & Skippy were originally transferred to the Rat Rescue from the Toronto SPCA where they were at risk of being euthanized. Having been at the SPCA for months, many visitors had gotten bitten or nipped very hard by these two brothers (we now suspect it was mostly Skippy!) which immediately made them almost impossible to adopt out. After being with their foster mom for the last 2.5 months, they have made lots of progress. No longer as scared, they are now also much le...

Shylock & Tolbot

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet, adorable brothers, Shylock and Tolbot are only 8 months old and still have so much growing to do, and so much love to give. These brothers are extremely curious and so full of energy. They may not want to cuddle now, but once they have grown up and learned to love their new family, they will hopefully become sweet squishy boys. For now, they would much rather run around, explore, and spend as much time out of their cage as possible. Shylock and Tolbot are looking for a home that can...

They still have lots of growing to do and if you think you have the space in your heart ...
