Poe had a very rough start to life as he was found on the side of a road in a box along with 23 other rats. Thankfully, several rescues were able to step in and help save them. Poe is one of 13 males we took in from that rescue situation.
After months in our care, he has made incredible strides in becoming a well-socialized, relaxed rattie. Unfortunately, the one thing we have still not been able to find for him, is a friend. Poe does NOT get along with other males. He is quite dominant and despite being neutered back in May of 2019, he does still prefer to be the “biggest” rat around.
We are hoping to find a loving home for Poe with an existing group of female rats. Preferably 2 or more female rats. Poe is estimated to be between 10-12 months old.
If you are an experienced rat guardian and have a few females at home already, please consider giving Poe a chance and a home.
To inquire about Poe, feel free to email us using the “contact us” page or fill out an adoption application. Thank you!

Update: as of Oct. 1, 2019, Meryl has presented with a lump behind her right eye. Until we get a clear diagnosis and treatment from our vet, Meryl Eva will NOT be available for adoption.
Update: as of Oct. 4, 2019, confirmation that the small lump is a stye. Resolved via warm compress.

Update: Orpinton was adopted with 2 other boys, Frizzel and Orloff instead! Fisher and Bantom are still looking for a home as a pair.
Meet this trio of brothers who will absolutely melt your heart. All three boys were born some time between Aug. 17 and Aug. 20th. They were all the result of a pet store not separating their males and females.
They have thankfully been very well cared for and socialized since birth, so all three are fairly outgoing and would settle into a new home very quickly.
Since these are boys, please remember that they are going to get BIG. Male rats can grow up to be a foot long from nose to tail. These three need to go to a home where they will be offered plenty of room, continued socialization and enrichment so they can mature into well-adjusted friendly boys.
The minimum case size we will consider is a Critter Nation. Please contact us for option.
If you would like to meet these boys or apply to adopt, please fill out an adoption application form.
Meet brothers, Cooper and Bobby.
These two were found on the side of a highway in a box along with 22 other rats in St. Marthe QC.
It is hard to say exactly how old they are, but we’re guessing anywhere between 6 months and 1 year old.
These two did not have it easy, as they both came in dirty, infested with parasites and were extremely aggressive with people and other rats.
Thankfully, both have now completely changed after their respective neuters and now are friendly, curious and quite docile. Bobby especially has actually become a bit chubby.
Cooper and Bobby would like to find a forever home together, as they are now bonded and enjoy exploring and cuddling together. Due to the fact that both are neutered, we are asking an adoption fee of $100 ($50 each) to help us recuperate some of the vet bills we incurred.
If you have a place in your home and heart for these sweet boys who just need a second chance at life, please fill out an adoption application form.
Brothers Chester & Ezra are estimated to be about 6 months old and are now looking for their forever home!
These two beautiful, curious boys were surrendered by their well-meaning previous owner when she found herself in a very difficult situation.
It would seem that at some point, they were well-loved, but came to us infested with lice and quite skiddish.
After a few weeks at the Rescue, they are now quickly coming around. They love to dig around in blankets and also come up to you to say “hello”. They love treats and a very gentle when taking them from your hand.
Chester is OK with being picked up and held, whereas Ezra is very nervous about handling and will need someone to patiently work with him. Both are extremely curious, but shy.
Chester & Ezra must be adopted together as a pair. Please fill out an adoption application form if you are interested in taking these brothers home.
Update: Aug. 30th.
Black Jack has now been introduced to the beautiful and lively Sadie! These two make such a wonderful pair and are looking for a loving home together.
Meet beautiful boy Black Jack.
This boy was found on the side of the highway in a cardboard box in St. Marthe Quebec along with 23 other rats. They were incredibly lucky that a kindhearted lady happened to be driving by and contacted a local pound who picked up the rats. All the males in this group were eventually transferred to the Ottawa Pet Rat Rescue for a better chance at finding a home.
Unfortunately, due to their unknown history, we can only estimate that Black Jack is between 6-10 months old.
Due to some hormone-related aggressive behaviour, Black Jack was neutered in May, 2019.
While this has helped Black Jack calm down a LOT, he is currently still in the care of an experienced foster as he can still bite at you if not approached properly.
Because of this, Black Jack is ONLY available for adoption to experienced rat guardians who has an existing colony of female rats or sweet-natured male rats.
Black Jack’s new home must be willing to continue socializing him and working with his insecurities to help him become a happy, friendly rat.
To cover some of Black Jack’s medical costs, his adoption fee is $60.
Please fill out an adoption application form if you feel your home is the right fit for him.
Brothers Coville and Jackson are rambunctious, fun-loving, friendly boys who were transferred to us from the SPCA in Gatineau. They are estimated to be anywhere between 5-10 months old.
Both of them came in with some mild respiratory issues, but after a few weeks in a clean, stress-free environment, their lungs have cleared up and these boys are now looking for a forever home to call their own. They are both extremely active and high-energy rats and will need a large enclosure as well as lots of time outside the cage every day to play, run and wrestle.
Of the two, Jackson is much more easy going and will literally follow the human around. He loves being picked up and doesn’t mind at all being carried around. Coville is just as equally friendly, but he is a little more nervous about being picked up and petted. He’ll need to get used to you first before he’s 100% comfortable with being held. He normally does prefer to perch on your shoulder instead, and given the chance, will clamber onto your shoulder on his own anyway.
Since Coville is neutered, these brothers’ adoption fee is $80 (total).
If you think you have the space, time and energy to keep up with these two sweethearts, please fill out an adoption application form.
Meet adorable, 8 month old sisters, Rosalind and Bella.
You will not find a friendlier, or more sociable pair of rats anywhere. Rosalind is absolutely bonkers and will climb on anything, including you. Bella is definitely slightly calmer and more willing to stay put long enough for a few pets.
The pair make a perfect duo, with Rosalind running around like crazy, and Bella hanging out with her humans.
Please note these girls must be adopted together as they are tightly bonded. Rosalind would also love to have a wheel and tons of space to run around in, so a large, wide cage is definitely preferable.
To inquire about adopting these sister, please fill out an adoption application form.
Meet sisters Ella and Ninja! We’re not sure if they’re really sisters, but they cuddle, play and overall get along wonderfully.
Both girls are super active and curious. They’re much more interested in exploring than cuddling right now, but that’s probably partially also because they are estimated to be only 5-6 months old. Ella and Ninja are confident and will do well in any family that can give them plenty of toys, time to run around outside their cage and lots to explore.
If you’d like to apply to adopt these girls, please fill out an adoption application form.
Meet sisters, Sammy & Lisa.
You will not find a more friendly or adorable pair anywhere else.
These girls LOVE to run in their wheel, so we will say right now that any home that wants to adopt them must have at least one 12″ Silent Spinner or similar wheel. Absolutely no wire or mesh wheels please!
Other than that, they are not picky about food, they are friendly and curious with everyone and they love to explore and be with their humans.
To apply to adopt these lovely ladies, please fill our an adoption application form.
Please note, Sammy & Lisa can also be adopted with their sisters, Brittany and Lucy. All 4 of them currently live together.

Sisters Helga and Myrtle came from a situation where they were being bred for snake food.
Due to their not-so-ideal start to life, both sisters are very shy, but are curious.
Estimated at just under 6 months old, Helga and Myrtle are looking for a loving forever home that can patiently win over their trust and spoil them like proper house pets.
If you have the time and the love they need, please fill out an adoption application form.
Meet brother’s Perri and Cota. These two hilarious, bouncy boys would be a wonderful addition to any family who has the time and space to give them lots of attention and time-outside the cage to run, climb and generally go crazy.
Of the two, Perri is definitely more active. He doesn’t like to sit still, he’s always curious about everything and is a very good climber (although he tends to get stuck on things and will need your help to get down). Cota on the other hand, calms down after about 30 minutes of being a hyper baby and can be convinced to settle down for a gentle cheek rub.
They are both estimated to be about 6-7 months old.
Please note that Perri and Cota MUST be adopted together. Their adoption fee is $100 due to the fact that Perri had to be neutered. The neuter has worked it’s magic, and Perri is now an extremely friendly rat with both humans and his brother.
This trio of trouble-makers will light up your day and make sure you never have a dull moment when they are awake and around!
Sisters Smokey, Pinkie & Snowy were abandoned at the SPCA in Gatineau, and were transferred to the rescue soon after as they would have a better chance of getting adopted.
As well, Pinkie had a severe inner ear infection upon arrival. She was unable to walk straight or even balance enough to hold food! Poor girl was not doing well at the shelter at all. After 2 months of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication, Pinkie is now zooming around, eating, grooming and playing with her sisters without any problems at all. Unfortunately, due to the severity of her infection and how long it took before she received proper treatment, she will retain a permanent tilt to her head. It does not appear to affect her balance at all.
These girls are an estimated 6-8 months old and still have tons of growing to do.
Below are a few words from their foster parents so you can get to know them better:
“Smokey is very hyper! Why walk when you can run? Why run when you can hop? Why hop when you jump? Always ready for a good time, she will jump on your shoulder so she can see better. This girl is also an expert food-hoarder. Never let her leave your sight as she’ll figure out a way to jump on something she shouldn’t!”
“Pinkie is a very energetic rat. If left out she will run around the whole time! She loves sprinting from one side of the room to the other and goes around eating the treats the other rats hid. Although she has a head tilt, it doesn’t slow her down at all, but makes her look a little goofy when she looks up.”
“Snowy is calmer than her two sisters and is the most likely to come for a cuddle. Don’t wear socks or she’ll nip your toes! And make sure you hide your socks (also papers, cloths, rags or small blankets) as she will steal them and bring them into her nest. Snowy loves to collect everything in sight!”
Meet baby sisters, Pebble and Yukon! Don’t ask us who is who, because thus far, they are pretty identical.
These two baby girls are an estimated 2 months old and unfortunately came from a hoarder who originally had intended to feed them to his snake.
They, along with 21 other albino rats, were surrendered to us when he realized that he just had too many rats!
Pebble and Yukon are slowly coming around under the kindness and persuasion of their foster mom.
They are curious, but still skiddish and don’t enjoy being picked up. However, once you do have them in hand, they are fine with hiding under your hair, or snuggling into a hoodie if possible.
Since they are so young, they simply need more time and someone who can persevere and continue to socialize them.
These girls are extremely active and so need a large cage with lots of hammocks and toys so they can continue to explore and develop into happy, well-socialized rats.
Meet sisters, Angel, Faith & Hope. These 3 sisters were originally purchased from PetSmart and unfortunately, quickly became “too much work” for the girl who originally purchase them. It does not seem that they received any socialization in the most formative months of their lives, but luckily, our experienced foster mom has been able to make huge progress with these girls.
Of the three, Angel and Hope (beige and merle) are the most outgoing and comfortable with humans. They are curious, active, and despite still being a little bit timid, don’t mind being handled. And they certainly LOVE to come out and play.
Unfortunately, Faith (black) is still quite skiddish and will need an understanding home who can continue to work with her insecurities and patiently win over her trust.
