Meeko & Fleek

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meeko and Fleek were transferred to us from the SPCA Outaouais. These boys were abandoned at the SPCA in a cardboard box when they were only about a month old. Now, they are 5 months old and flourishing under the love of their foster mom. They are very good shoulder-riders, and while both are still a tad nervous about being picked up, they don't put up much of a fight. Once they are out and about, they love climbing up on you, and checking in to see what the human is doing. These bonded b...

George, Franklin & Lucas

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet George, Franklin & Lucas (left to right), three babies who were lucky to be saved and to meet each other. Lucas was born when a pet store sold his pregnant young mother as a pet. Since she was a baby herself, she only gave birth to 3 little ones and he was the only boy. The girl who purchased his mother decided she could not keep him and so brought him to the Rescue. Franklin and Lucas were going to become snake food, but after a series of fortunate and not-so-fortunate events, they end...

Toby & Ben

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Toby & Ben. Probably the most adorable, active, puppy-like rats you will ever meet. When Toby and Ben are excited to see people they will drop everything and immediately run to the door. They are great for being picked up or held and are free to run on the ground because they come immediately when called. Toby (black and white hooded) is more eager to please, whereas Ben is a tiny bit more independent and will sometimes play hard-to-get. Both boys are about 4-5 months old and are look...

Fleur & Cosette

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These two sisters are looking for a patient, understanding, loving family who has experience with rats, or are willing to work with them, through thick and thin. They were rescued from a very bad situation along with 18 other rats, many of whom will also need a special home. The first is tiny little Fleur. Despite her diminutive size, Fleur is quick to protect her much larger sister, Cosette. She is unfortunately still quite prone to nipping, especially when anyone tries to pick her up. Howev...

Pipper & Charlie

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Pipper and Charlie. These two sweethearts didn't get much love or attention in their previous home where it seems like they were rarely handled. Pipper (agouti) arrived with a pea-sized abscess on her throat which has now been resolved and 100% healed. She is definitely the slightly more nervous of the two girls. Charlie is slightly more outgoing, and much more easily coaxed out with food and gentle words. Both girls still have a ways to go and are looking for a caring, understanding hom...

Ghost & Buster

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Ghost & Buster are looking for a loving home as an adorable, contrasting pair. While Buster figured out how to go up and down the stairs in their foster home within an hour, Ghost decided he liked his foster mom's lap, and has now settled into a nightly routine of leisurely exploring followed by a long session of cuddling. Buster at some point in his young life, lost about half of his tail. However, it has healed cleanly and now does not bother him in the slightest. Ghost is a perfect albino,...
