Bernadette & Shelby

Posted on August 22, 2022January 27, 2023 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...

Joseph & Giorno

Posted on July 29, 2022September 27, 2022 by Rachel Shen

Brothers Joseph & Giorno are estimated to have been born sometime in December of 2021. They arrived at the Rescue extremely skinny, but their previous owner had obviously still done a wonderful job socializing them, because they are friendly, loving and love to follow their foster mom around her entire apartment! Of the two, Giorno (black) is slightly more energetic and tends to be more of the leader, but Joseph (brown), is just as active, and the two of them get along great. They're always c...

Meet brothers Ralph and Norton. They are so friendly, so brave, and so full of energy. Estimated to be born May 20th, 2021 their mother was abandoned (pregnant) at a vet clinic. These two sweethearts were quickly adopted, but due to changes in their former adopter's personal life, they could no longer keep the boys and so Ralph and Norton are now back at the Rescue almost exactly 1 year later. They are still very sweet, curious and just needed a little TLC. Now we just need to find these br...

Gizmo and Gumshoe are the sweetest, most friendly boys we've met in a long time!

Gizmo and Gumshoe are brothers, with an estimated date of birth of July or August of 2021. According to the person who surrendered them to the Rescue, she purchased them from someone on Kijiji who had in turn originally purchased them from a local breeder. When these boys ...

Posted on December 9, 2021March 6, 2022 by Rachel Shen

Benji and Rick are both estimated to be around 8 months old as of December 2021, and both were surrendered by their previous families who could not keep them for various reasons. Poor Benji is a sweet, but shy boy who lost his brother to an unknown illness and his previous human felt like he was simply lonely and deserved new rat friends. Rick on the other hand, was surrendered because he was a huge bully who was beating up his cage-mates. His previous owner unfortunately could not afford ...

Looking for the perfect, friendly, cuddly boys who will calmly give you kisses and cuddles? Look no further. Buzz and Simon are the perfect duo for you.

Brünnhilde & Venus

Posted on August 10, 2021September 6, 2021 by Rachel Shen

We believe these sisters were born June 20, 2021. They are still babies who have tons of energy, are extremely curious and need a loving home full of enrichment in order for them to grow and develop into happy, well-socialized rats. Of the two, Brünnhilde is more outgoing and brave. She's always one of the first to greet the humans at the door and is not shy about trying new foods and exploring new toys.

Cleo & Leila

Posted on July 19, 2021November 23, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Sisters Cleo & Leila are estimated to have been born in May of 2020, meaning they are just over 1 year old. We would strongly prefer that Cleo & Leila be adopted with Shay & Lily and will only allow them to be separated if the applicant already has an existing colony of rats. You are unlikely to find more friendly, sociable or well-behaved rats anywhere. Aside from being soft, and cute as buttons, Cleo and Leila are 100% liter trained, do not chew or destroy anything, are not picky about thei...

Thankfully, they are both healthy, extremely friendly, very neat and tidy, and the perfect boy rats for anyone who would love a cuddle buddy for movie nights. Of the two Sisyphus is the attention hog, who can never get enough of being held and human cuddles, whereas Atlas is the slightly more independent boy. Both a...
