Poppy, Pixie, Ivy & Lucy

Posted on August 6, 2020October 5, 2020 by Rachel Shen

These 4 tightly bonded girls range from 8 months old (Lucy) to the eldest, being 18 months old (Ivy). Sisters Poppy and Pixie are estimated to be about 1 year old. We would like to find them a home together as each of them relies strongly on the other for comfort and confidence. Of the 4, Lucy is definitely the most shy. She may never exactly be a human rat, as she much prefers the company of her sisters. Once she's out of the cage, she's quite confident in exploring and running around on her...

Grey

Posted on July 20, 2020April 30, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Update March 2021: Unfortunately, both Wraith and Purple had to be euthanized by our veterinarian due to persistent and worsening respiratory disease, leaving Grey the sole survivor from this group. Even so, Grey himself has severe and chronic respiratory disease and requires medication twice a day. His monthly medical bill is about $30. If you would like to help support the Rescue and our continued care of Grey, please visit our Donate Page. This trio of boys came from a previous owne...

Ellie (sponsor me!)

Posted on July 20, 2020August 25, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Sweet elderly Ellie was surrendered to the rescue covered in lice, with a respiratory infection and initial symptoms of PT (pituitary tumor). We were honestly not even sure if little old Ellie would make it. Miraculously, with the love and care of her foster, plus the right antibioitcs and cabergoline to treat her PT symptoms, Ellie is almost completely back to being a normal rat. She's a little cuddlier than most, and she does sleep a lot, but you would never know that just a few weeks ago, ...

Ronnie & Ru

Posted on July 2, 2020August 6, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Meet adorable sisters, Ronnie & Ru. These two fun, quirky girls were estimated to be born around Sept. of 2019. They are inseparable and absolutely love chilling together in their hammocks. They are extremely friendly and well-socialized and came from a home that obviously cared a lot about them, but unfortunately just ended up with too many rats to have the time and resources to provide for them in the long-run. Especially seeing as Ru is hairless, she will need a family that is knowledg...

Quincy & Perceval

Posted on June 29, 2020October 16, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Identical twin brothers, Quincy & Perceval were born sometime in April of 2020, making them currently the youngest rats at the Rescue. These brothers were purchased from Kijiji, only to have mites or lice, which unfortunately their previous human did not have the time or funds to treat. With just a drop of Revolution each, and a very thorough cage clean, these brothers are now healthy, curious, bouncy and ready to find that perfect forever home. Although they may look identical, you can ea...

Duckie & Dove

Posted on June 29, 2020November 2, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Meet friendly, adorable sisters, Duckie & Dove. These two were born Dec. 28, 2019, and have been handled since the day they were born. Unfortunately, their breeder ended up with too many rats, and decided she would stop breeding and get rid of about half her rats. Duckie & Dove need a home where they will have lots of space, toys, and plenty of time outside of their cage to interact with their humans where they can live out the rest of their lives together. If you are interested in adop...

Posted on June 3, 2020July 14, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Are you looking for the perfect trio of beautiful, friendly, and lively girls? Look no further. Meet these sisters who we estimate are about 1 year old. This inseparable trio are perfect for each other, and any family that has lots of love and time to give them.

Personality-wi...

Arlo & Rene

Posted on May 26, 2020July 14, 2020 by Rachel Shen

These sweet, but slightly shy boys are estimated to be 5-7 months old. They were surrendered by their previous human who was moving and unfortunately didn't appear to have the resources to give them the kind of life they required. Both boys arrived very nervous, not used to handling and extremely skinny. Thankfully, after just 3 weeks with one of our experienced foster homes, they've already come a long way. They are now at a much healthier weight, and have learned to relax and enjoy the ...

Gordon

Posted on May 23, 2020June 24, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Sweet and independant Gordon has the honor of being the oldest rat currently living at the Rescue. He was surrendered along with 10 other rats at the age of 1-1.5 years old in 2019, and has never been able to get completely healthy. To this day, Gordon requires twice daily doxycycline and prednisone to keep his respiratory infection under control. Good thing is, Gordon LOVES cooked food. He loves rice, pasta, baby food, veggie purees and all sort of human junk food, so getting him to take ...

Arthur & Henry

Posted on May 1, 2020June 19, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Brothers Arthur and Henry are estimated to be about 1-1.5 years old. Well, you would never guess it based on how active and friendly they are. These funny hairless boys have very contrasting personalities. Why Arthur is brave, curious and outgoing; Henry, is shy and a little reserved. But, with enough patience and treats, you can definitely win them both over. These boys are tightly bonded and need to go to a home together. To apply to give these boys a loving home, please fill out an o...

Papi, Chaton & Coco

Posted on March 23, 2020June 19, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Meet these 3 adorable boys who are friendly, well-socialized, love to interact with their humans and are all-round, just perfect rats. Coco (beige and white) is definitely the leader of the three. He is mister independent and takes it upon himself to be alpha and to keep the others in line and safe. Papi (brown dumbo) is probably the most chill and cuddly of the three. He's relaxed, he's happy to get cuddles, food and lots of naps. Finally, we have tiny little Chaton who is a few months young...

Harvey (neutered)

Posted on March 17, 2020May 23, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Meet shy but friendly and curious Harvey. Transferred to us from the Bramptom SPCA as part of an eviction/seizure, Harvey was originally living with his brother, Remy. Unfortunately, they started fighting non-stop, and as a result both boys had to be neutered and separated. Now several weeks after his neuter, Harvey and his brother still aren't getting along, so we decided that it would be best for Harvey to find himself some girlfriends instead. Estimated at around 10-12 months old, Harve...

Nydia, Azumi & Haven

Posted on March 3, 2020June 29, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Meet this trio of sisters who had a rather interesting start to life, but are now looking for that perfect family to take them in. Nydia (hairless), Azumi (beige) and Haven (black) are estimated to be bout 10 months old. Their previous human unfortunately had to give them up due to health issues, but overall, kept these girls healthy and relatively well-socialized. Of the three, Nydia is the most friendly. She will happily be picked up, and climbs right up into your arms! Azumi, is just a lit...

Earl & Bernie

Posted on February 18, 2020March 23, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Earl & Bernie are two sweethearts whom we estimate are 7-10 months old. Although they are not brothers, they were raised together and get along just fine. Despite being so much smaller, Earl is actually the slightly more dominant one and is often spotted grooming his much bigger friend. Of the two, Bernie is more laid back and loves people. He will lick your fingers and spend his entire time running around on you or near you. Earl on the other hand is a little bit more reserved. Though he may...

Posted on February 11, 2020February 26, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers Peregrin, Meriadoc & Bilbo who were born Dec. 30, 2019 and are now looking for that perfect forever home. These babies were born at the Rescue and have been handled since day one. They are extremely friendly and sociable. Since they are still so young, whoever adopts them must be willing to invest in a large cage, a lot of time and love to continuing raising these boys as brave, friendly and healthy rats. Little Bilbo, who was the runt of the litter, seems to have a large...

All three of these boys are extremely friendly and sociable having been handled since an extremely young age.

Richmond was infested with lice and had a respiratory infectio...

Georges (neutered)

Posted on January 30, 2020February 18, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Things really didn't start out well for Georges. Originating from a hoarder seizure in Brampton Ontario, Georges came to us very aggressive and biting every hand that tried to touch him. He was also missing half his tail and had fresh bite wounds all over his tail and rear. Once at the Rescue, the first thing we did was book him a neuter. Now, about 3 months in, the neuter has done it's magic and you almost can not recognize the same rat anymore. George is now a bouncy, happy, friendly, L...

Betsy & Joker (neutered)

Posted on January 30, 2020February 26, 2020 by Rachel Shen

It's been a long road for both these sweet hearts, but it feels like they may finally be on the home stretch. Little Betsy was unwanted snake food abandoned at the SPCA, while Joker was found in a box on the side of a highway with 22 other rats. Now, the two of them are finally bonded and ready to go to their forever home.
