Meet baby sisters Jasmine & Houdini who were born at the rescue on March 9, 2021.
Their mothers were surrendered to the rescue along with 57 other rats from a woman who unfortunately allowed her 5 pet rats to breed uncontrollably.
Luckily, these girls will never have to live through that!
Jasmine & Houdini are extremely friendly and social girls.
They would have to be adopted together and need a home that will have lots of time and space for them to run around and to continue to grow.

Menma & Mei
Update: June 14th, 2021. Unfortunately, Mei's respiratory infection has returned and will likely require treatment for the rest of her life. Additionally, Menma is now exhibiting symptoms of Pituitary Tumor. She will also undergo treatment with cabergoline.
Don't let their age fool you. At 1.5 years old, Menma and Mei are both still so incredibly full of beans. They run, they climb, they explore, they do everything a young rat would want to do with boundless amounts of energy. Their foster mo...

Of the two, Sora (lighter colour) is a bit more brave and definitely the leader, while Willet (darker) will need some patience and lots of love to have her fully come out of her shell.

Nina, Pinta & Santa Maria
Meet sisters Nina, Pinta and the bravest girl, Santa Maria.
These 3 girls were surrendered by a previous owner who did her best to care for them, but found herself overwhelmed due to lack of time. Despite this, all three girls are perfectly healthy, very friendly and curious although still a little bit shy. They love to eat carbs like noodles, bread and rice, and are slowly warming up to other fresh fruits and veggies.
Their foster mom says they are becoming more sociable every single day!...

Their previous owner did the best she could to ensure they had a good life, but unfortunately found herself overwhelmed and with a busy work schedule, had little time to care for them. Despite this, they are curious, friendly and although still a little bit shy, are becoming more inquisitive every single day. Both girls are also in perfect health and clearly lived in a clean environment.

Yara & Sanna
You will not find a more perfect pair of rats anywhere. Sisters Yara and Sanna are estimated to be born in July of 2020. They are sweet, attentive, brave, loving and so very smart. They know their names and come when call. Of the two, Yara is slightly more food motivated, while Sanna will literally forego a treat for the sake of playing and interacting with her favourite toy in the word: humans.
If anything, the only negative thing about these girls is that Sanna so desperately craves attenti...

Mirabelle & Leonor (spayed)
Meet adopted sisters, Mirabelle & Leonor. These two girls were born Oct. 25 and Oct. 23, 2020 respectively. However, they get along wonderfully as they were raised together.
Mirabelle is a half-wild rat, meaning her father was a wild rat, while her mother was a fully domesticated (and extremely friendly) pet rat who had been abandoned outside.
Both girls are fine with being held and handled, however, due to their past, they would prefer an experienced home. Strong preference will be given ...

Spud & Skadi
Sisters Spud & Skadi were born some time between June and July of 2020 when a girl brought home a pair of pet rats from a store without realizing that the store had given her a boy and a girl. Several months later, the girl found herself overwhelmed with many babies from a litter of rats that she had never intended to breed.
Luckily, the girl had done a wonderful job socializing all of the rats, and despite their cramped conditions, Spud & Skadi are extremely friendly, social and loving girls...

Meet sisters, Evita and Celeste. These girls are perfect. They love people, they love each other, they love to eat, run, play and explore. You simply will not find rats who are more fun and energetic than these two. We estimate that they were born around end of April/beginning of May 2020, making them only 5 months old.
Evita and Celeste were actually surrendered to the Rescue extremely pregnant. They had been neglected and bred by a young man who had no idea what he was doing. Poor Evita had...

Poppy, Pixie, Ivy & Lucy
These 4 tightly bonded girls range from 8 months old (Lucy) to the eldest, being 18 months old (Ivy). Sisters Poppy and Pixie are estimated to be about 1 year old.
We would like to find them a home together as each of them relies strongly on the other for comfort and confidence. Of the 4, Lucy is definitely the most shy. She may never exactly be a human rat, as she much prefers the company of her sisters. Once she's out of the cage, she's quite confident in exploring and running around on her...

Ronnie & Ru
Meet adorable sisters, Ronnie & Ru.
These two fun, quirky girls were estimated to be born around Sept. of 2019. They are inseparable and absolutely love chilling together in their hammocks.
They are extremely friendly and well-socialized and came from a home that obviously cared a lot about them, but unfortunately just ended up with too many rats to have the time and resources to provide for them in the long-run.
Especially seeing as Ru is hairless, she will need a family that is knowledg...

Meet friendly, adorable sisters, Duckie & Dove.
These two were born Dec. 28, 2019, and have been handled since the day they were born. Unfortunately, their breeder ended up with too many rats, and decided she would stop breeding and get rid of about half her rats.
Duckie & Dove need a home where they will have lots of space, toys, and plenty of time outside of their cage to interact with their humans where they can live out the rest of their lives together.
If you are interested in adop...

Lexie & Jackie
These tightly bonded girls were surrendered to the SPCA in Gatineau because their previous owner wanted to euthanize them after they got lice. Thankfully, the vet refused, and referred them to the SPCA. Due to their poor chances at the SPCA, these girls were transferred into the care of the Ottawa Pet Rat Rescue.
After 6 months with the Rescue, the oldest girl, Blossom, unfortunately finally succumbed to her illness and with careful consideration and support from our vet, she was put to sleep...

Nydia (hairless), Azumi (beige) and Haven (black) are estimated to be bout 10 months old.

These tightly bonded girls are estimated to be about 1 year old. Although they have been passed through several homes, miraculously, they have remained extremely friendly, social and loving. Bell and Lily are two perfect little girls who are still young enough to actively seek their human out at every opportunity, but just mature enough that they are very calm and so very easy to pick up and handle.
Both girls seem to recognize their name and will come running to you when called. They love hu...
