These two brothers were originally meant to be snake food. Thankfully, a kind lady stepped in and was able to save them from that fate at a fairly early age.

Beau (neutered) & Hugo

Posted on 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 ...

Simon & Wilson (neutered)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Simon and Wilson are so closely bonded you will almost never see them apart. They love to explore and sniff things, then spend their nights and days cuddling together. Simon is definitely the more outgoing of the two, as he just can't wait to be picked up and allowed out to play. But he's always great at recognizing his name, and comes running the moment you call for him. Wilson on the other hand, is much more reserved. He's still a little nervous about being picked up. Both boys have now be...

Meet sweet, gorgeous boy Clive! He is estimated to be 7-10 months old, and has the energy level of a much younger rat! Clive may first appear as a little bit shy or timid, but he warms up to new people who are willing to give him a day or two to settle in.

Clive will even settle in for the occasio...

Rudy

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet, nervous Rudy was surrendered at 7 months of age with his equally terrified brother. Both boys had been purchased as babies from a pet store, but due to lack of socialization, and what looks like simple lack of knowledge about rats, their previous human grew to fear them. They had not been handled for months when they arrived at the Rescue. We were told that both boys would lunge and bite at every opportunity and that they had been separated as babies due to fighting and biting as well....

Jude & Eddie

Jude & Eddie are both estimated to be 4-6 months old. These boys were purchased by a student, passed on to a classmate, then surrendered to the rescue when that classmate could no longer care for them. In their still young lives, they have been through so many changes and have yet to find a loving home. Unfortunately in their previous home, they were confined to a fairly small cage and this resulted in Jude being extremely dominant with Eddie and also slightly cage aggressive. However, now th...
