Reba & Dolly (sponsor us!)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Reba & Dolly were abandoned at the SPCA in Gatineau in mid 2019. Both girls are in their senior year and were left at the shelter with visible mammary tumors and respiratory infections. Unfortunately, the shelter was unable to provide these girls with the veterinary care and surgery they required and so reach out to us for help. Reba & Dolly are now with one of our permanent foster homes where they will live out the rest of their lives (whether that be 6 months or 12 months, or more). Reba...

Rosalind and Bella

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet adorable, 8 month old sisters, Rosalind and Bella. You will not find a friendlier, or more sociable pair of rats anywhere. Rosalind is absolutely bonkers and will climb on anything, including you. Bella is definitely slightly calmer and more willing to stay put long enough for a few pets. The pair make a perfect duo, with Rosalind running around like crazy, and Bella hanging out with her humans. Please note these girls must be adopted together as they are tightly bonded. Rosalind w...

Ella & Ninja

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet sisters Ella and Ninja! We're not sure if they're really sisters, but they cuddle, play and overall get along wonderfully. Both girls are super active and curious. They're much more interested in exploring than cuddling right now, but that's probably partially also because they are estimated to be only 5-6 months old. Ella and Ninja are confident and will do well in any family that can give them plenty of toys, time to run around outside their cage and lots to explore. If you'd like t...

Helga & Myrtle

Sisters Helga and Myrtle came from a situation where they were being bred for snake food. Due to their not-so-ideal start to life, both sisters are very shy, but are curious. Estimated at just under 6 months old, Helga and Myrtle are looking for a loving forever home that can patiently win over their trust and spoil them like proper house pets. If you have the time and the love they need, please fill out an adoption application form.

Dixie

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sept. 2020: Despite being the completely healthy one, our foster parents were shocked to find Dixie had passed away overnight. She had no symptoms and had suffered no trauma. Most likely, she ad died in her sleep or had suffered a stroke. Rest in Peace Dixie. Dixie and Cora, both girls born on Halloween night of 2018 are super curious and love to explore. While they used to be quite nervous, their parents have done an amazing job socializing them. Cora and Dixie both enjoy being perched on yo...

Smokey, Pinkie & Snowy

Posted on by Rachel Shen
This trio of trouble-makers will light up your day and make sure you never have a dull moment when they are awake and around! Sisters Smokey, Pinkie & Snowy were abandoned at the SPCA in Gatineau, and were transferred to the rescue soon after as they would have a better chance of getting adopted. As well, Pinkie had a severe inner ear infection upon arrival. She was unable to walk straight or even balance enough to hold food! Poor girl was not doing well at the shelter at all. After 2 month...

Angel, Faith & Hope

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet sisters, Angel, Faith & Hope. These 3 sisters were originally purchased from PetSmart and unfortunately, quickly became "too much work" for the girl who originally purchase them. It does not seem that they received any socialization in the most formative months of their lives, but luckily, our experienced foster mom has been able to make huge progress with these girls. Of the three, Angel and Hope (beige and merle) are the most outgoing and comfortable with humans. They are curious, acti...

Margaret & Elizabeth

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Elizabeth (beige) & her sister Margaret (black) These 2 sisters came from a pretty horrid situation where they lived with 2 others in a tiny cramped cage with no food or toys. They have come a very long way, as all of them were desperately in need of some proper nourishment and socialization. Of all of them, Elizabeth is the most outgoing. She's brave, adventurous and actually kind of likes people now. Margaret on the other hand, still needs quite a bit of patience and someone who can...

Amidala & Laiya

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet sisters Amidala & Laiya are estimated to only be about 3 months old. They unfortunately had to be surrendered when their former human was evicted and had nowhere to go. The girls are extremely tightly bonded and are rarely apart. They are both a little bit shy, but super curious and great with riding your shoulders. They still have a lot of growing to do, but you'll have a hard time resisting their gorgeous little faces. If you have some love and time to spare, Amidala and Laiya w...

Meet adorable sisters, Aurora and Nova. They are estimated to have been born early to mid-August 2017.

Rizzo, Sia & Addy

Meet this lovely trio of sisters who are an estimated 5-6 months old. Rizzo, Sia & Addy are absolutely inseparable and will likely entertain you for hours with their funny little antics and super sweet personalities. All three girls are very curious, lively, and would fit right in with any family who can give them lots of room to run, toys to play with and destroy, and plenty of soft beds to cuddle in. They still have lots of growing to do and if you think you have the space in your heart ...

Peppa & Salt

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet rambunctious and active sisters Peppa & Salt. These fun-loving girls are an estimated 4-5 months old and still have a ton of growing and learning to do. They were surrendered to the SPCA as their previous home says they didn't have enough time for them. These girls are extremely curious, friendly, and are just a little unsure about being picked up. Once they are out though, it's all about fun and games. They will crawl all over you and aren't shy at all! If you think you have the t...

Meet 4 month old sisters, Charlotte & Caramel. In their few months of life, they have already been passed from home to home, until they were eventually taken in by a kind veterinary technician who thought she could give them a forever home. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, things just weren't working out, and so she decided to surrender them to the Ottawa Pet Rat Rescue. Despite their rather rocky start to life, Charlotte & Caramel couldn't be more friendly! They love to explore, they...
