Goofy & Pluto (neutered)

Posted on January 19, 2023March 20, 2023 by Rachel Shen

Update: Feb. 13, 2023, Pluto has been neutered to help resolve some hormonal behaviour towards his brother. These brothers were born from an oops litter when a couple purchased some rats from a pet store and they got a big surprise when two of the girls ended up being pregnant. Despite arriving with mites, and being extremely skinny, after just a few weeks with our loving foster family, they are now healthy and put on some weight and muscle from being able to run and explore (as baby rats ...

These brothers were born from an oops litter when a couple purchased some rats from a pet store and they got a big surprise when two of the girls ended up being pregnant. Despite arriving with mites, and being extremely skinny, after just a few weeks with our loving foster family, they are now healthy and put on some weight and muscle from being able to run and explore (as baby rats should!). Chip & Dale are both extremely friendly and curious boys, always willing to come to the human and to ...

Iggy & Nimbus

Posted on November 8, 2022January 3, 2023 by Rachel Shen

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. While these two sweethearts are on the slightly older side, they would still be wonderful companions for someone who has a bit of experience with rats, and it looking for calm, cuddly boys who will just hang out with you on the couch and give you all the kisses and licks you would ever want. Both are extremely sweet, comfortab...

Joseph & Giorno

Posted on July 29, 2022September 27, 2022 by Rachel Shen

Brothers Joseph & Giorno are estimated to have been born sometime in December of 2021. They arrived at the Rescue extremely skinny, but their previous owner had obviously still done a wonderful job socializing them, because they are friendly, loving and love to follow their foster mom around her entire apartment! 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...

Ralph & Norton

Posted on June 22, 2022September 4, 2022 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers Ralph and Norton. They are so friendly, so brave, and so full of energy. Estimated to be born May 20th, 2021 their mother was abandoned (pregnant) at a vet clinic. These two sweethearts were quickly adopted, but due to changes in their former adopter's personal life, they could no longer keep the boys and so Ralph and Norton are now back at the Rescue almost exactly 1 year later. They are still very sweet, curious and just needed a little TLC. Now we just need to find these br...

Gizmo and Gumshoe are the sweetest, most friendly boys we've met in a long time! And despite everything they've been through, they managed to maintain their wonderful personalities and warm up to new people very quickly. Gizmo and Gumshoe are brothers, with an estimated date of birth of July or August of 2021. According to the person who surrendered them to the Rescue, she purchased them from someone on Kijiji who had in turn originally purchased them from a local breeder. When these boys ...

*** In order to adopt, you must be an existing client of a vet clinic that sees rats or have been accepted as a new client at a clinic that sees rats *** Brothers Miso & Tako were surrendered to the rescue as day-old babies in March of 2021.

*** In order to adopt, you must be an existing client of a vet clinic that sees rats or have been accepted as a new client at a clinic that sees rats *** Update: March 6, 2022.

Springfield & Dusty (neutered)

Posted on June 9, 2021September 28, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Springfield and Dusty are brothers who came from a very neglectful situation where they were left to live in filth, infested with mites and left to wallow in their own urine. Thankfully, we were able to take them in at a relatively young age, and despite how nervous they were at first, these boys have made huge progress. Estimated to be born between Dec. 23 and 25th of 2020, these boys are still young and have some growing left to do. Both boys are now neutered due to some aggressive beha...

Xavier-Lee, Francis & Charles (special needs)

Posted on May 28, 2021September 6, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Meet this trio of of older boys, Xavier-Lee, Francis & Charles. They were unfortunately neglected for most of their life and surrendered to the Rescue with some health issues. Of the three Xavier-Lee is the oldest at approximately 2 years old, but he also happens to be the healthiest. His only ailment is some natural balding due to being a Rex rat. Both Francis and Charles are estimated to be about 1 year old and both suffer from respiratory infections. Thankfully, they are responding w...

Bug & Cowboy

Posted on April 19, 2021June 4, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers Bug & Cowboy. These two were born March 9th, 2021. Their mother was originally surrendered to the rescue already pregnant. These boys were born at the Rescue and have been handled since day both. Both are extremely friendly and just need a little bit of time and encouragement to come out of their shell when they go into a new home. Even though they are still so young, potential adoptions need to have an enclosure that meets or preferably exceeds our minimum requirements. Please...

Checkers (neutered) & Othello

Posted on March 12, 2021November 23, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Update: July 21, 2021. Unfortunately Othello's face abscess has returned. We will again treat with antibiotics and saline flushes. Update: June 10, 2021. Great news! Turns out, the mass on Othello's face was an abscess, most likely caused by fighting between Othello and his brother Checkers. As such, Checkers has now been neutered, and Othello, after 1 month of oral antibiotics and thorough saline flushing of his abscess is 100% recovered! Update: April 17, 2021. Unfortunately Othello appe...

Bryon & Percy (special needs)

Posted on February 22, 2021May 15, 2022 by Rachel Shen

A word from their foster family: "Bryon & Percy are really good boys. They use their litter box almost all the time and are very sweet. They still don't like to be picked up, and out times are often spent in one of the boxes, too shy to come out, but they don't run away at loud sounds, or us, and they love nibbling our fingernails and playing hide and seek." Bryon & Percy were surrendered to the Rescue with severe respiratory infections. After months of treatment with antibiotics, both...

Frey & Loki

Posted on February 22, 2021March 22, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Brothers Frey & Loki are estimated to be born Dec. 20, 2020. They are friendly though still a little bit shy. Once they are out of their cage and used to their new environment, both will clamber all over their human as long as we are calm and don't make any sudden loud noises. Considering how young they are, their progress has been incredibly quick and likely with just a bit of patience and persistence, they will become extremely friendly and social boys. To apply to adopt Frey & Loki, ple...

Ullysses & Ajax

Posted on January 11, 2021April 12, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers, Ullysses & Ajax. These two are estimated to have been born in July of 2020. Both are extremely curious and friendly and don't mind at all being held. Since they came from a neglectful home previously, they are still a little bit nervous about being picked up, but it only takes the tiniest bit of coaxing to have them crawl onto your hand or arms themselves. If you're interest in adopting these two adorable brothers, please fill out an adoption application form.

Max, Merlin & Marcel

Posted on January 6, 2021March 8, 2021 by Rachel Shen

This trouble-some trio were from two separate litters, but you would never guess because of how tightly bonded they now are. Of the 3, Marcel (right) was born Oct. 25, 2020, while his two adopted brothers were born just 2 days earlier. Marcel is also half-wild, meaning his father was a wild rat, while his mother was a fully domesticated (and extremely friendly) pet rat who had been abandoned outside. These three must be adopted together. Due to their past, they would prefer an experienced ...

Yuri & Neptune

Posted on October 27, 2020December 1, 2020 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers, Yuri & Neptune. Born Aug. 22 or Aug. 23, 2020, these two are maybe technically actually cousins, but their mothers raised them together, literally taking turns feeding them. Because of this, the two are absolutely inseparable. Yes, they do have their scuffles here and there, like all brothers do, but they are always found curled around each other in the hammocks. Both Yuri and Neptune are curious and adventurous. They're not the biggest fans of being picked up, but at the same ...
