Susan & Gabriel are two sweet rats who are absolutely in love with each other.

Nelly was one of the 4 French girls originally rescued from a Montreal pet store where they were about to become used as feeders.

Molly, Maggie & Mr. Moo

Posted on November 29, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Meet Mr. Moo, Maggie and Molly, three of the most adorable and friendly rats you will ever meet. Poor Mr. Moo was found trying to survive outside. He was infested by a huge bot fly larva, then later had to recover from a massive abscess in his side and groin. Just when we thought he had found his perfect home, the hormones kicked in, and Mr. Moo had to be separated while he waited for a neuter. Now much calmer, Mr. Moo lives with two of the Blonde sisters, Maggie and Molly who were surrendered a...

Maple is a gorgeous agouti Berkshire and Ash is black, with a perfectly heart-shaped white spot on her chest. These two girls are members of the group of rats and babies we took in from the SPCA. They are originally from a pet store that dumped 66 rats (including some pregnant adults) on the SPCA - who is simply not equipped to handle that many rats.

Lola

Posted on September 29, 2014September 30, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Lola is a darling blue hooded who came to us as part of the Mascouche Surrender. She is remarkably outgoing and oh so loving - she loves just curling up against your side and chilling. She went to spend some time hanging out with a foster mom but then stole the foster mom's heart as if it were a cheerio and ran away with it. Suffice to say, she's staying put and soaking up all the love and affection possible. She's with two other rescued girls and can be caught snuggling away her days.

Pixie

Posted on September 28, 2014September 30, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Pixie came to us as part of the Mascouche Breeder Surrender and was pregnant. She is a beautiful black and white hooded. As we already had two mommy rats who were far along, we had Pixie spayed in order to keep our numbers manageable and ensure that everyone was able to find an amazing home. She was originally frightened by human hands but came so far in a few months. She was adopted into an amazing home where she now has 3 boys to keep in line and snuggle with!

Dixie & Anna

Posted on September 28, 2014September 28, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

These two girls came to us from a breeder in Mascouche who had been reported and was getting rid of his animals. Both came pregnant and very unsure about humans, hands, and everything else. In the past month Anna has been spayed; Dixie has given birth to a litter of 6, which she is currently nursing; and both girls have learned that humans can bring love, warmth, and of course treats. Dixie will need to stay at the rescue until her babies have been fully weaned so that they get the best start at...

This lovely lady is from one of the two resulting litters from the Mascouche Breeder. She lived the first six weeks of her life at the rescue and was extremely playful and cuddly. A gorgeous black and white dumbo, we're so happy she has found a loving forever home that can give her tons of love and cuddles. She will be joining a lovely rat named Bisous who recently lost a cage mate. We're so excited that this adoption ended in happy endings for not one, but two rats!

Cassy & Jezzabell

Posted on September 10, 2014September 28, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

These two darlings came to us from a horrible breeding situation in Mascouche, but you wouldn't know it. Cassy is a firecracker of energy and loves exploring, but will come back for a cuddle to make sure you're still there. Jezzabell is a little shy, but once she feels safe will settle down on your chest for cuddles and love. Both girls are an estimated 4 month old as of August 2014. These two gorgeous girls were adopted and are off to their new home in Kingston with Ashley! We're super thrilled...

Caleese

Posted on September 8, 2014September 25, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

This little darling came to us from an intake pound called Auberg Zen in Laval QC. They give them 30 days at the pound. If they are not picked up by an adopter or another shelter, they are euthanized... She is so friendly, energetic, and brave! She loves exploring and getting into mischief - as well as visiting all the other rats in the rescue. She is also here to stay - she's managed to wriggle her cute little face deep into Rachel's heart, so has been given her forever home permanently with Ra...
