Coville (neutered) & Jackson

Posted on May 14, 2019September 13, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Brothers Coville and Jackson are rambunctious, fun-loving, friendly boys who were transferred to us from the SPCA in Gatineau. They are estimated to be anywhere between 5-10 months old. Both of them came in with some mild respiratory issues, but after a few weeks in a clean, stress-free environment, their lungs have cleared up and these boys are now looking for a forever home to call their own. They are both extremely active and high-energy rats and will need a large enclosure as well as lots...

Reba & Dolly (sponsor us!)

Posted on May 13, 2019November 4, 2019 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...

Smokey, Pinkie & Snowy

Posted on November 19, 2018August 30, 2019 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...

Benny & Hugo

Posted on August 17, 2018September 26, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers, Benny and Hugo. You will not find a more adorable pair anywhere! These brothers were unfortunately surrendered for being "too big". Realistically, they aren't even full grown yet at an estimated 5-6 months old. Of the two, Benny (beige) is slightly more anxious and tends to take a few more days to settle in and get used to new surrounding and new people. He's incredibly curious and boy or boy can he climb and explore when he wants to. Hugo on the other hand, is a much more c...

Hagrid & Hedwig medical hold

Posted on June 7, 2018December 18, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Looking for a sweet, friendly, adorable pair of boys? Look no further. Hagrid and Hedwig are literally the perfect pair. These brothers love each other, love people and above all, love to socialize. Hagrid especially will always wait for you at the door and come running the moment you call. Hedwig takes a little more time to warm up to you, but as you can see below, he's not exactly shy either. Both boys have no flaws when it comes to personality. Hagrid is just a little bit snatchy when ...

Seth & Rogan

Posted on January 12, 2018April 8, 2019 by Rachel Shen

These boys were transferred to us from the Gatineau SPCA after no one seemed to want to adopt them. We can't understand why, because honestly, Seth and Rogan are two of the sweetest boys we have ever met. They are curious, extremely gentle, and wonderful little beings who are calm and tolerate handling very well. Being picked up isn't their favourite thing, especially not for Seth who tends to be a bit squirmy, but once they are in your arms and have a nice sweater to snuggle into, they are c...

Pudge & Felix

Posted on September 7, 2017January 12, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers Pudge and Felix. You will probably never meet a more adorable, squishable pair! Both these boys are estimated to be around 1 - 1.5 years old. Although they may be a little bit older, this just means they are calmer, cuddlier and so much more adorable. Pudge is definitely the braver of the pair, and will often curiously come out to meet strangers, while Felix prefers to hang back until he's sure things are safe. Both boys absolutely love banana, vegetables, and food in general. ...

Ben & Sailor

Posted on June 22, 2017August 28, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Meet brothers Ben & Sailor. We know for sure that they were born some time in June of 2016 making them almost exactly 1 year old at the moment. Originally dumped in a box at the SPCA in Gatineau, these boys had been adopted into a forever home. Unfortunately, due to their human's increasingly busy schedule, they could not longer be given the love and attention they deserved. Ben and Sailor are now back at the Rescue and once again looking for a place to call their own. Due to a period of n...

Peppa & Salt

Posted on May 2, 2017May 27, 2017 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...

Jojo & Blossom

Posted on April 17, 2017September 7, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Meet sweet sisters Jojo and Blossom. They were surrendered along with their other two sisters, Buttercup and Bubbles at the SPCA Gatineau. These girls are an estimated 1 year to 1.5 years old. Unfortunately we have very little information about them, other than the fact that Jojo showed up at the shelter very very pregnant. After successfully raising all 15 of her babies (yup, she was a trooper), Jojo has rejoined her sisters and is now looking for a forever home. Jojo must be adopted with...

Celeste & Diana

Posted on August 15, 2016September 30, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Meet Celeste and Diana, both so sweet and curious and just joyous to have a second chance. These sisters were surrendered by a well-meaning person who unfortunately found herself unable to keep her pet rats. After spending a few weeks with our experienced foster mom, both are now extremely outgoing and can't wait to climb onto your shoulders or hands. They love to interact with their humans and you can bet on them to be right there at the door any time you walk by. Celeste is a very pretty...

Joy & Molly

Posted on July 29, 2016September 6, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Joy and Molly are almost opposites of each other. Joy is a little crazy, super outgoing, brave like she's 7 feet tall (even though she's actually tiny, even for a young female rat!) and is the most vocal rat we have ever heard in our 4 years as a rescue. She takes every opportunity to escape, and hands? Hands are just platforms, to be used at leisure when adventure is on the horizon! We seriously can't say enough wonderful things about the busy-bee that is Joy. Oh, and did we mention, she's ...

Rufus, Neil & Riley

Posted on July 13, 2016July 27, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Meet Rufus and his two sons, Neil & Riley. These three boys (along with their mom and sister - Chico and Picco) were dumped at the SPCA Montreal when the babies were just newborns. Considering their rough start to life, they have adjusted remarkably well! Rufus (black) is every bit the responsible dad. He's the most anxious and wary of the three, and you can just tell he's warning his boys not to trust humans too much (just yet!) But we are working hard every day to gain his confidence. His t...

Chico & Pikko

Posted on June 16, 2016December 12, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Meet Chico and Pikko, an adorable mother-daughter pair who are extremely bonded and would like to find a loving home together. Chico and Pikko were abandoned at the SPCA Gatineau along with the father rat and several other babies. Having never had a decent loving home, both girls were extremely nervous and scared, but after spending a month with our experienced foster-mom, both have made incredible progress. Both are curious, and despite their fear have never bitten or even nipped. Both ar...

Meeko & Fleek

Posted on April 4, 2016July 12, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Meeko and Fleek were transferred to us from the SPCA Outaouais. These boys were abandoned at the SPCA in a cardboard box when they were only about a month old. Now, they are 5 months old and flourishing under the love of their foster mom. They are very good shoulder-riders, and while both are still a tad nervous about being picked up, they don't put up much of a fight. Once they are out and about, they love climbing up on you, and checking in to see what the human is doing. These bonded b...

Gloria & Glinda

Posted on November 8, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

These two girls are members of the group of rats and babies we took in from the SPCA. They are originally from a pet store that dumped 66 rats (including some pregnant adults) on the SPCA – who is simply not equipped to handle that many rats. We stepped in, taking 29 of the rats – including these two loves.

They are originally from a pet store that dumped 66 rats (including some pregnant adults) on the SPCA - who is simply not equipped to handle that many rats. We stepped in, taking 29 of the rats - including these two loves. These two sweet girls will be available for adoption as of November 10, 2014.

SPCA Rescue Group

Posted on October 21, 2014October 21, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Over this last weekend a pet store went out of business. The pet store had rats - mostly as feeders, but also sold them as pets. When they closed their doors they had 66 rats - including many who were very, very young. The rats were all together - males and females. The store owner took all these rats and dumped them at the SPCA in Outaouais. They contacted us as they are not equipped to deal with the sheer quantity of small animals. As a result, we have taken in 29 rats - many of which are extr...
