Lola

Posted on 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 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 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...

Ben & Rupert

Posted on by Kaitlynne-Rae
Rupert was found running around outside and was rescued initially by Lisa. Unfortunately, one of her boys is a bit of a bully and did not accept Rupert. Ben is a tiny albino boy who was dumped along with his sister at a pet store just outside of Alexandria and was rescued by a woman named Adele right before the pet store owner was going to feed him to a snake. She realized very quickly that rats need a friend. She asked us for help. We took him in because we knew Rupert and he would be similar i...

Minuit

Posted on by Kaitlynne-Rae
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 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...

Peanut & Reiki

Posted on by Kaitlynne-Rae
Q-Tip ("Q" for short) is the beautiful black dumbo girl who unfortunately lost her sister. Her human parents were concerned with her advancing age and her lack of friends. They adopted Peanut and Reiki, two beautiful beige baby girls who took to Q almost immediately. Now all three girls can be found spending relaxing days in their massive playground and doing naughty things to keep their humans amused.

Soleil & Gaia

Posted on by Kaitlynne-Rae
Both Soleil and Gaia came from very sad and neglectful previous homes. Little Soleil was a barely grown month-old baby, already separated from her family and given away when the snake wouldn't eat her. Gaia was the extremely young mother and protector of a small liter of babies which she valiantly tried to raise in a jar set at the bottom of an otherwise empty cage. Gaia too, was meant to be snake food, but was too large to be eaten. These two extremely lucky girls who survived extraordinary cir...

Having recently lost her sister, Stevie was in need of friends and her human mom was more than happy to welcome three more girls into their beautiful rat-family. Thank you Sarah for being a wonderful caring person and for again adopting and helping us save lives!

Roo & Roger

Posted on by Kaitlynne-Rae
One-eyed Roo and her sweet, but slightly timid friend Roger make for quite the odd, but adorable couple. These two rats were both surrendered as part of a group, but due to various behavioral issues, had to be separated from their former cage-mates. After both underwent surgery and a recovery period, they were matched to each other precisely because of their slightly strange behaviors. As luck would have it, they clicked almost immediately. Roo and Roger will now live out the rest of their lives...

Romeo, Elvis & Mercutio

Posted on by Kaitlynne-Rae
Romeo, Elvis and Mercutio are three extremely lucky brothers who literally went from a tiny crowded cage, straight into a forever home that's best described as a little piece of ratty-heaven. These boys are now doted on, and allowed a level of freedom any rat would be so lucky to have. Heartfelt thanks to their wonderful rat-dad and mom for giving these boys a bright and happy future!

Riot & Rebel

Posted on by Kaitlynne-Rae
Riot & Rebel had an extremely hard start to life. These boys were banished to a boarding facility at the back of a veterinary clinic for a few weeks where they were surrounded by the sounds of panicked dogs and cats. When they were first rescued, Riot was a biter. He bit every foster parent who ever gave him a chance. Meanwhile, Rebel was so terrified he would defecate on the spot and refuse to move for hours on end. It was only by sheer luck and maybe a touch of fate that Terri found us and inq...

Toby, the big boy to the right was in desperate need of a friend, and he found that perfect companion in dear, calm Socrates. The family who adopted Socrates is a true rat-loving family where everyone cares for and gives love and attention to their now 8 male rats. We couldn't have found Socrates a better, more loving and fun-filled family!

Jitterbug & Tundra

Posted on by Kaitlynne-Rae
Jitterbug was rescued along with her friend Tundra. They were being used as part of a small animal zoo but they were surrendered because we were told that Jitterbug bites. Of course she hasn't bitten anyone since we met her. She was stressed and unhappy from being taken from place to place, handled by many strangers, and living in a room with other zoo creatures including reptiles. Now she and Tundra enjoy a wonderful life with other ratty roomates and lots of out time where it's safe.
