Meet sisters Nessa & Fingold who were born at the Rescue on Feb. 3, and Feb. 19, 2022 respectively.
Their mothers are sisters who were found dumped in a box on the side of the road in Napanee, ON. Luckily, a kind human found them, and brought them to the Rescue.

These babies have been raised with so much love and care and have been handled since the day they were born.

We would like these girls to go to a loving forever home where they will have tons of attention, and large enclosures where they will have plenty of room to grow and play. These two girls can be adopted with their sisters, Yavanna and Nayla.

If you are interested in adopting these girls, please fill out an Adoption Application form.

Beatrix & Nora have not had an easy life so far. We estimate that they were born November of 2021 and are most likely sisters. On one of the coldest days of winter, they were found in a taped up box on the side of the road in Napanee, ON. Luckily, a kind human found them and brought them to the Rescue.

Unluckily for us, they were in that box with a male and were both pregnant. Beatrix gave birth on Feb. 11, 2022 while Pip gave birth on Feb. 3, 2022. Understandably, both of them arrived at the Rescue extremely timid and shy. Beatrix especially had a nipping problem, but this was mainly due to her strong instincts to protect her babies.

Now that all of the babies have been weaned, and Beatrix and Nora have spent close to a month with a loving foster, both of them have had a complete change in personality.

Nora especially is now completely careful and such a joy to be around. She loves to be picked up and is always begging to come out and ride around on your shoulders. You would never guess based on her behaviour that she was ever tossed out in a box!

Beatrix meanwhile has also made huge progress, and while she’s still a little bit timid around strangers, it doesn’t take her long to warm up to you and climb into your lap. Both girls are definitely ready for their forever home!

Beatrix and Nora can be adopted with their friends/sisters, Pip & Lexi.

Update Oct. 20, 2022: It has been discovered that Pip has a grade 3 heart murmur. Currently it is not impacting her behaviour or quality of life, however, special care may be required in the future.

Pip & Lexi have not had an easy life so far. We estimate that they were born November of 2021 and are most likely sisters. On one of the coldest days of winter, they were found in a taped up box on the side of the road in Napanee, ON. Luckily, a kind human found them and brought them to the Rescue.

Unluckily for us, they were in that box with a male and were both pregnant. Lexi gave birth on Jan. 31, 2021 while Pip gave birth on Feb. 11, 2022. Understandably, both of them arrived at the Rescue extremely timid and shy. Pip especially had a nipping problem, but this was mainly due to her strong instincts to protect her babies.

Now that all of the babies have been weaned, and Pip & Lexi have spent close to a month with a loving foster, both of them have had a complete change in personality.

Pip is so sweet and fun loving, and always ready to come out and say “hi”. She is very gentle when taking treats and does not mind being picked up for belly kisses at all.

Meanwhile, Lexi is still just the tiniest bit shy, but once she gets to know you, she’s so sweet and will often try to quietly clamber into your lap for a quick sniff and pets. Both girls have a come a long way but are now ready for their forever home.

Pip & Lexi can be adopted with their friends/sisters, Beatrix and Nora.

Blue & Fiona were surrendered at the Montreal SPCA at the beginning of 2022. We suspect they are about 3-4 months old.

Both girls are active, playful, friendly and otherwise healthy. Of the two, Blue takes a little longer to warm up to new people, but once she is settled in, both girls are wonderful companions. They are looking for a loving home where they will continue to be spoiled with good food and lots of space to run around.

Please fill out an adoption application form if you are interested in Blue & Fiona.

Oliver & Eli were born in April of 2021. They were initially purchased as pets for some children who unfortunately lost interested. A couple took them in thinking they could give them the care they needed, unfortunately they also ended up not being able to keep these boys.

Finally, they’ve landed with the Rescue where hopefully, third time is the charm. These boys are perfectly friendly and sociable, and as you can tell from the photos, tightly bonded. Of the two, Eli (the blue/grey one) is slightly more adventurous and brave, while Oliver (white) is a little calmer and follows his brother’s lead.

These two make a wonderful pair and would make perfect family companions as they are used to children, and previously lived with dogs and cats.

To apply to adopt Oliver & Eli, please fill out an adoption application form.

Update March 25, 2022: Arrow will be neutered to help curb some bully behaviour towards his brothers.

This perfect trio of sweet boys are ready to give you kisses and put smiles on your face. Born in April of 2021, these boys were surrendered to the Rescue after the children of their previous family lost interest. They have blossomed into wonderful, sweet boys after just a few weeks in foster care.

These three boys are tightly bonded and must be adopted together.

Here are a few words from their foster mom:
“Both Dexter and Arrow LOVE human attention. Dexter will actually climb out on to me now when I open the cage. Quincy is so soft and so sweet and he is good with people, just not as excitable as his brothers”.

To apply, please fill out an adoption application form.

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 the neuter that would have resolved all of Rick’s hormonal issues, so we agreed to take him in and got him that neuter instead. Luckily Rick turned out to be the most sweet, puppy-like boy you’ll ever meet! He loves people, he loves interacting with people, and he’s so sweet with humans. That fact has not changed even after his surgery.

After a slow and steady introduction, Benji and Rick are now living together peacefully. Despite being the one who’s neutered, Rick is still the boss! And Benji is still shy and nervous.

These two are looking for a home together with someone who will give Benji the extra attention he needs to come out of his shell, even though Rick will probably try to hog all of your love and all the treats!

Please note, their adoption fee (total) is $80. To inquire about adopting these boys, please fill out our Adoption Application form.

Prim & Rosey are estimated to be one year old. They came from a family who purchased them from a breeder on Kijiji, but then decided they could no longer keep them. Both girls arrived with mild respiratory infection, but were otherwise friendly and well-socialized.

After 3 weeks of antibiotics and a clear environment, they are now ready for their forever home.

Of the two, Prim is much more outgoing, while Rosey is a little bit more shy and will need some convincing before she agrees to be your best friend.

To adopt Prim & Rosey, please fill out an adoption application form.

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.

Simon is estimated to be 1 year 10 months old and Buzz is estimated to be 1 year 8 months old, so both of these boys are definitely on the older side, but with age, comes cuddles, good behaviour and the sweetest boys you’ll ever meet.

Simon was found abandoned outside along with 3 female rats (he was probably the dad) while Buzz lost his brother and was surrendered by his well-meaning previous humans. After a short, and rather uneventful introduction, the two boys decided they rather liked each other’s company and has been living together ever since.

Simon has a chronic respiratory infection which requires twice daily medication for the rest of his life. If you would like to help us care of these two bow, please visit our Donate Page as they are also available for Sponsorship.

If you have experience caring for older rats, please fill out our adoption application form to apply to adopt.

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. Her sister Grace is a little bit more shy, but honestly not far behind.

These girls can also be adopted with their other sisters, Lillikus & Serena or Grace & Europa.

Sisters Shay & Lily are estimated to have been born in May of 2020, meaning they are just over 1 year old. We would strongly prefer that Shay & Lily be adopted with Cleo & Leila 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, Shay & Lily are 100% liter trained, do not chew or destroy anything, are not picky about their vegetables or fruits and come almost immediately when called. They love to give kisses, love to climb on their humans, and love to explore. Lily will even settle into your arms or your lap for a long cuddle session if you give her gentle scratches in her favourite places (behind her ears and on her neck).

The ideal home will adopt all 4 girls together and basically give them free range in a safe room whenever they get the chance.

If you think these girls would be the perfect fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application form.
