Meet brothers Snow & Leaf who will absolutely melt your heart. Both boys were born either Aug. 17 or 19th. They were the result of a pet store not separating their males and females. Are you looking for fun, active, super friendly rats who have boundless energy and are always ready to come out and play? Well look no further.

Cooper (neutered) & Bobby (neutered)

Posted on July 12, 2019August 9, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers, Cooper and Bobby. These two were found on the side of a highway in a box along with 22 other rats in St. Marthe QC. It is hard to say exactly how old they are, but we're guessing anywhere between 6 months and 1 year old. These two did not have it easy, as they both came in dirty, infested with parasites and were extremely aggressive with people and other rats. Thankfully, both have now completely changed after their respective neuters and now are friendly, curious and qu...

Chester & Ezra

Posted on June 24, 2019August 30, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Brothers Chester & Ezra are estimated to be about 6 months old and are now looking for their forever home! These two beautiful, curious boys were surrendered by their well-meaning previous owner when she found herself in a very difficult situation. It would seem that at some point, they were well-loved, but came to us infested with lice and quite skiddish. After a few weeks at the Rescue, they are now quickly coming around. They love to dig around in blankets and also come up to you to sa...

Sadie & Black Jack (neutered)

Posted on June 12, 2019September 13, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Update: Aug. 30th. Black Jack has now been introduced to the beautiful and lively Sadie! These two make such a wonderful pair and are looking for a loving home together. Meet beautiful boy Black Jack. This boy was found on the side of the highway in a cardboard box in St. Marthe Quebec along with 23 other rats. They were incredibly lucky that a kindhearted lady happened to be driving by and contacted a local pound who picked up the rats. All the males in this group were eventually transfe...

Coville (neutered) & Jackson

Posted on May 14, 2019September 13, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Brothers Coville and Jackson are rambunctious, fun-loving, friendly boys who were transferred to us from the SPCA in Gatineau. They are estimated to be anywhere between 5-10 months old. Both of them came in with some mild respiratory issues, but after a few weeks in a clean, stress-free environment, their lungs have cleared up and these boys are now looking for a forever home to call their own. They are both extremely active and high-energy rats and will need a large enclosure as well as lots...

Reba & Dolly (sponsor us!)

Posted on May 13, 2019November 4, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Reba & Dolly were abandoned at the SPCA in Gatineau in mid 2019. Both girls are in their senior year and were left at the shelter with visible mammary tumors and respiratory infections. Unfortunately, the shelter was unable to provide these girls with the veterinary care and surgery they required and so reach out to us for help. Reba & Dolly are now with one of our permanent foster homes where they will live out the rest of their lives (whether that be 6 months or 12 months, or more). Reba...

Rosalind and Bella

Posted on March 19, 2019June 5, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Meet adorable, 8 month old sisters, Rosalind and Bella. You will not find a friendlier, or more sociable pair of rats anywhere. Rosalind is absolutely bonkers and will climb on anything, including you. Bella is definitely slightly calmer and more willing to stay put long enough for a few pets. The pair make a perfect duo, with Rosalind running around like crazy, and Bella hanging out with her humans. Please note these girls must be adopted together as they are tightly bonded. Rosalind w...

Sammy & Lisa

Posted on January 29, 2019March 19, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Meet sisters, Sammy & Lisa. You will not find a more friendly or adorable pair anywhere else. These girls LOVE to run in their wheel, so we will say right now that any home that wants to adopt them must have at least one 12" Silent Spinner or similar wheel. Absolutely no wire or mesh wheels please! Other than that, they are not picky about food, they are friendly and curious with everyone and they love to explore and be with their humans. To apply to adopt these lovely ladies, please f...

Angel, Faith & Hope

Posted on October 22, 2018April 8, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Meet sisters, Angel, Faith & Hope. These 3 sisters were originally purchased from PetSmart and unfortunately, quickly became "too much work" for the girl who originally purchase them. It does not seem that they received any socialization in the most formative months of their lives, but luckily, our experienced foster mom has been able to make huge progress with these girls. Of the three, Angel and Hope (beige and merle) are the most outgoing and comfortable with humans. They are curious, acti...

Bruno & Jack

Posted on September 14, 2018December 18, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet adorable, friendly, super curious brothers, Bruno and Jack. They absolutely love each other, and their human companions as well. Bruno and Jack love to explore, eat yummy healthy treats and squish together into hammocks or igloos to take naps. These two boys are an estimated 7-9 months old. They are more or less full grown now, but will probably gain a bit more weight based on how much their foster mom is spoiling them! Now that Bruno and Jack have been in their foster home for a f...

Benny & Hugo

Posted on August 17, 2018September 26, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers, Benny and Hugo. You will not find a more adorable pair anywhere! These brothers were unfortunately surrendered for being "too big". Realistically, they aren't even full grown yet at an estimated 5-6 months old. Of the two, Benny (beige) is slightly more anxious and tends to take a few more days to settle in and get used to new surrounding and new people. He's incredibly curious and boy or boy can he climb and explore when he wants to. Hugo on the other hand, is a much more c...

Margaret & Elizabeth

Posted on July 18, 2018December 12, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Meet Elizabeth (beige) & her sister Margaret (black) These 2 sisters came from a pretty horrid situation where they lived with 2 others in a tiny cramped cage with no food or toys. They have come a very long way, as all of them were desperately in need of some proper nourishment and socialization. Of all of them, Elizabeth is the most outgoing. She's brave, adventurous and actually kind of likes people now. Margaret on the other hand, still needs quite a bit of patience and someone who can...

Opal (spayed) & Pirate

Posted on May 15, 2018June 22, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet Opal and Pirate, two spunky girls who still have a lot of growing to do and tons of energy to expend. Opal is estimated to be 4 months old. She was spayed when only 3 months old, meaning she will hopefully be much healthier with a drastically LOWER chance of any reproductive cancers. She is a little love bug. She loves to give kisses and always looks for opportunities to scramble into your hand. Once she's out, she's quite bossy and confidence. Nothing phases her. She loves to explore, c...

Sparrow, Anamaria & Calypso

Posted on April 3, 2018August 17, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet this spunky, friendly trio of sisters who had a very rough start to life, but bounced right back to be happy, healthy girls after only a month with the Rescue. Sparrow, Anamaria & Calypso started life as snake food, lived for months in a plastic bin, spent a few more weeks in a tiny cramped cage with 9 other girls, and finally their life made a turn for the better in February of 2018. These girls are super active, love to eat, climb and generally be social. They are not wary of hands ...

Jupiter & Kite

Posted on February 3, 2018May 15, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Jupiter and Kite are estimated to be about 5-6 months old. These brothers have been through a LOT in their short lives, and they have the physical scars to show it. But don't let that discourage you! These boys are some of the most loving, curious boys you will ever meet!. They are always ready to come out and keep you company. They absolutely love attention and food! (oh boy do they ever love food!) Jupiter and Kite are both missing a few fingers and toes. Jupiter is also missing about half ...

Clark & Parker

Posted on January 24, 2018March 2, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers Clark & Parker who are looking for a loving home together! These boys are still very small and have so much growing to do. They are very friendly, curious and overall just need a loving consistent home to ensure they grow up well. Both boys love to climb all over their human(s) and love treats such as veggies, bananas and the occasional nut or seed. If you are interested in offering these baby boys a loving home, please fill out an Adoption Application.

Beau (neutered) & Hugo

Posted on October 23, 2017December 13, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Meet Beau (neutered) and Hugo. Both boys were originally strays. Beau was found wandering around outside in Ottawa, while Hugo was found outside in Belleville. These two were likely made for each other, as they got along almost immediately and are both estimated to be around 6 months old. Of the two, Beau is much calmer and almost serene. 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 ...

Aurora & Nova

Posted on October 23, 2017January 24, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet adorable sisters, Aurora and Nova. They are estimated to have been born early to mid-August 2017. These girls were originally supposed to become snake food, however, the snake owner had a last minute change of heart and could no longer bear to watch them killed and eaten by her snakes. Thankfully, she reached out to the rescue. Despite everything they have been through, Aurora and Nova are extremely well-socialized. As with ALL babies, they don't really enjoy being held, but they are...

Bubbles (spayed) & Blossom

Posted on March 17, 2017November 28, 2017 by Rachel Shen

These sisters are estimated to be about 1.5 years old. They were unfortunately dropped off at the SPCA in Gatineau as unwanted rats with very little information about where they came from and what their previous living conditions were like. Thankfully, regardless of their past, these two girls are friendly, curious and with just a little bit of socialization will definitely become absolute sweethearts. With their super soft fur, big dumbo ears and curious personalities, Buttercup & Bubble...

Pitter and Pat

Posted on January 6, 2017February 28, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Pitter and Pat are sweet, 4 month old brothers who were purchased from a pet store on a whim and unfortunately neglected for the next 3 months. Thankfully, the adults in the family eventually realized that they needed to be surrendered or rehomed. Understandably, both boys are extremely nervous having never been handled and they will need a calm, patient family to adopt them. At the moment, they are being fostered by one of our experienced foster moms and she has slowly but steady made progre...

Viola, Regan & Constance

Posted on November 17, 2016February 28, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Meet Viola, Regan & Constance (from left to right) sisters who are an estimated 2 months old. This trio was born and kept in a tiny hamster cage, 8″x10″ wide along with 21 other rats until they were surrendered to the Rescue. Due to their rather unfortunate start to life, these sisters are understandably still nervous about being picked up or handled. However, they are all extremely curious and gentle and with just a little time, love and care, will grow into wonderful pets! The ideal home...
