Peli & Mochi

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These two sweet girls are estimated to be born in late November of early December of 2022. They were part of two oops litters from when a young man purchased rats from someone on Kijiji and the girls turned out to be pregnant. Thankfully, he has been doing his best to take care care of them and to handle them every day, so both girls are already very friendly and sociable. All they need now, is a loving forever home that will give them tons of attention, lots of space to grow into, and the ca...

These brothers were born June 22, 2021 after their mother was left at the SPCA Gatineau, pregnant. They were adopted, but sadly were recently returned due to allergies.

Bernadette & Shelby

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These sisters are estimated to be born some time in March of 2022. Despite their young lives, they've had a bit of a rough start. Originally purchased from a breeder in Vars who also bred rats for a dog sport called "Barn Hunt", it's no surprise that they arrived extremely skiddish. Their original owner got bitten several times and despite her best efforts to socialize them, they continued to fear her and avoid her at all costs. Denise especially was so fearful she would let out a blood-curdl...

Joseph & Giorno

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Brothers Joseph & Giorno are estimated to have been born sometime in December of 2021.

Of the two, Giorno (black) is slightly more energetic and tends to be more of the leader, but Joseph (brown), is just as active, and the two of them get along great. They're always c...
