Eddie & Remi

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Dusty and Remi were part of a group of 13 baby rats who were dumped outside in a Brockville cemetery. Due to sheer coincidence, a kind couple were at the time out walking their dog and they watched as a woman with a plastic bag abandoned them outside to fend for themselves. We estimate that they were born some time in early April of 2023. Luckily, all of the babies are incredibly sweet, easy to handle, and just want some love. They didn’t even try to run away from their rescuers who were a...

Blizzard Boys

Posted on by Rachel Shen
If you're looking to add some love and cuteness to your life (and a healthy dose of chaos) look no further! The Blizzard Boys are here! We estimate they were born some time mid-March 2023. Originally surrendered through the SPCA Gatineau, they were immediately transferred to the Rescue due to the lack of space at the SPCA. They were part of an unplanned litter when their previous human found himself with too many rats and all of the sexes mixed up. These boys are so sweet, so curious and f...

Totoro & Jiji (experienced home only)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet the extremely handsome Totoro and Jiji who are looking for a home to call their own. These two boys are estimated to be around 1 year old, but it's very hard to know their exact age as they were found as strays outside in a box in Montreal. They spent a few weeks at the Montreal SPCA where they were treated for parasites, then were transferred into our care where they would have more one-on-one attention and hopefully a better chance of finding a home. Of the two, Totoro is definitely...

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.

Both are extremely sweet, comfortab...

Bernadette & Shelby

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These sisters are estimated to be born some time in March of 2022. Despite their young lives, they've had a bit of a rough start. Originally purchased from a breeder in Vars who also bred rats for a dog sport called "Barn Hunt", it's no surprise that they arrived extremely skiddish. Their original owner got bitten several times and despite her best efforts to socialize them, they continued to fear her and avoid her at all costs. Denise especially was so fearful she would let out a blood-curdl...
