Meet Spidey & Jubilee. Fun-loving, active, super social baby girls who are looking for a home together.

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...

This mother-daughter trio is looking for a loving home where they will be able to stay together.

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 ...

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 ...

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...

Simon & Wilson (neutered)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Simon and Wilson are so closely bonded you will almost never see them apart. They love to explore and sniff things, then spend their nights and days cuddling together. Simon is definitely the more outgoing of the two, as he just can't wait to be picked up and allowed out to play. But he's always great at recognizing his name, and comes running the moment you call for him. Wilson on the other hand, is much more reserved. He's still a little nervous about being picked up. Both boys have now be...

Once he's comfortable in his new home, he is always at the front of the cage, always peeking his head out to see if you're coming to visit, and always crawling all over you when he's out and about. Clive will even settle in for the occasio...
