Othello & Leontes

Posted on November 16, 2016January 2, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Meet Othello and Leontes, brothers who are an estimated 2 months old. These two were 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, Othello and Leontes are understandably still nervous about being picked up or handled. However, both boys are extremely curious and gentle and with just a little time, love and care, will grow into wonderful pets! The ideal home for these boys ...

Meet Rufus and his two sons, Neil & Riley. These three boys (along with their mom and sister - Chico and Picco) were dumped at the SPCA Montreal when the babies were just newborns. Considering their rough start to life, they have adjusted remarkably well! Rufus (black) is every bit the responsible dad. He's the most anxious and wary of the three, and you can just tell he's warning his boys not to trust humans too much (just yet!) But we are working hard every day to gain his confidence. His t...
