Jitterbug & Tundra

Posted on September 5, 2014September 6, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Jitterbug was rescued along with her friend Tundra. They were being used as part of a small animal zoo but they were surrendered because we were told that Jitterbug bites. Of course she hasn't bitten anyone since we met her. She was stressed and unhappy from being taken from place to place, handled by many strangers, and living in a room with other zoo creatures including reptiles. Now she and Tundra enjoy a wonderful life with other ratty roomates and lots of out time where it's safe.

Auntie Freida & Baby Cleo

Posted on August 27, 2014September 6, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Freida was an abandoned ratty, dumped outdoors near some cottages. Luckily for her, she found her way into a cottage owned by caring people. They fed her, got a cage, and brought her to us. She is a real sweetie, gentle and always on the go. She's not even afraid of the resident cat, Jasper, who she chases around the house. She lives with baby Cleo, a rescue from the Ottawa Humane Society. Cleo was surrendered, along with her mom and siblings, and now she is great buddies with her Auntie Freida!

Kai, Edgar & Junior

Kai is Junior's mom. She had an 'accidental' litter of 13 babies, and her owner decided to keep the daddy rat and one son, and adopt out the mom and daughters. We're happy to have a mom and her girl together! Edgar is the lucky neutered boy who lost his identical brother, but instead, is now living with a whole gaggle of lovely ladies!

Cupcake & Cookie

Cupcake and Cookie are sisters. They were rescues from Kijiji Ottawa, and came to us in a cage reeking of cigarette smoke. We worried about their health, as rats are very sensitive to smoke, air fresheners, and perfumes. They've been doing great! They live in a nice big cage with other rat girlfriends, and they're happy to be in a smoke-free environment. Cookie and Cupcake were very shy at first and did not like to be held. They've come a long way, and with trust training, they enjoy being picke...
