Charlie & Bear

Posted on November 4, 2014December 23, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Bear (black) and Charlie are looking for a forever home together! These two boys are members of the group of rats and babies we took in from the SPCA. They are originally from a pet store that dumped 66 rats (including some pregnant adults) on the SPCA - who is simply not equipped to handle that many rats. We stepped in, taking 29 of the rats - including these two loves. These boys will be available for adoption as of November 10, 2014. Please note, they are being fostered in Montreal.

Archer & Cyril

Posted on September 30, 2014December 4, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

These two lovely black and white boys were surrendered to us because of a very unfortunate financial situation meant that their human guardians could not afford to keep them anymore. They were truly well loved by their past mom after they were given to her by a family who had lost interest. These darlings have found a new forever home where they will be showered with just as much love and attention as their past parents lavished them with. One boy is still a little shy of hands, but the other is...

Leonard

Posted on September 30, 2014January 31, 2015 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Leonard was surrendered with his rat pal, Sheldon, as senior ratizens when their human friend lost interest. Sheldon has since passed away from an illness that was left untreated at that time. As such, our fine older gentleman Leonard is looking for a retirement home where he can soak up some love, eat lots of yummy food, and enjoy the rest of his days. Could you provide a place of comfort for this lovely guy?

Felix, the adorable black standard boy is from one of the two resulting litters from the Mascouche Breeder. He has just reached six weeks old as of Sept 14, and is now ready to find his forever home. He has lived his entire life at the rescue and is therefore extremely well socialized and friendly.

He is slightly younger than Radar, b...

Ben & Rupert

Posted on September 18, 2014August 9, 2015 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Rupert was found running around outside and was rescued initially by Lisa. Unfortunately, one of her boys is a bit of a bully and did not accept Rupert. Ben is a tiny albino boy who was dumped along with his sister at a pet store just outside of Alexandria and was rescued by a woman named Adele right before the pet store owner was going to feed him to a snake. She realized very quickly that rats need a friend. She asked us for help. We took him in because we knew Rupert and he would be similar i...

These two boys are from the the two resulting litters from the Mascouche Breeder. They've just reached six weeks old as of Sept 14, and are now ready to find forever homes. They have lived their entire lives at the rescue and are therefore extremely well socialized and friendly.

Samos is the tan boy and is never too ...

This lovely lady is from one of the two resulting litters from the Mascouche Breeder. She lived the first six weeks of her life at the rescue and was extremely playful and cuddly. A gorgeous black and white dumbo, we're so happy she has found a loving forever home that can give her tons of love and cuddles. She will be joining a lovely rat named Bisous who recently lost a cage mate. We're so excited that this adoption ended in happy endings for not one, but two rats!

Mascouche Surrender

Posted on August 21, 2014October 19, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

On July 25th, 2014, OPRATs was contacted about 22 rats at risk of being killed by a breeder in Mascouche, near Montreal, who had been reported by local authorities and was being ordered to stop all breeding. We had until July 27th to get those rats out, otherwise, they would be used as feeders. Now, with most of them safely in Ottawa, we have found out that the majority of the females are in fact, pregnant. With no vets in Ottawa who are willing to spay rats, we have been forced to move these...
