Wanda & Lilith (experienced home only)

Posted on September 27, 2023September 27, 2023 by Rachel Shen

Sisters Wanda and Lilith were part of a large seizure at the Montreal SPCA. We have very little information about them, except that it's suspected they were originally bred to be snake food. The Montreal SPCA found themselves with over 50 rats and very little space, so these two were transferred to us to give them a better chance of being adopted. Unfortunately Wanda and Lilith arrived extremely scared. They would literally scream every time you touch them or even attempt to pick them up. Lil...

Serein & Tsunami

Posted on September 25, 2023September 27, 2023 by Rachel Shen

This pair of sisters were surrendered to by their previous owner who found herself unable to provide the care they needed. The foster confessed that she may have chosen their names a little bit too soon. The first day she took them home, Serein found a cozy spot to lounge and took a long nap, while Tsunami spent her entire playtime tearing around the play room, trying to climb the walls. Thus, she decided to name the "calm" girl Serein. Little did she know, within the next 24 hours, Serein...

Serena & Venus

Posted on September 20, 2023September 27, 2023 by Rachel Shen

Below are some words from their foster family: Serena is just like her name; sweet and calm. She likes to find a warm spot to nap and is always the last one up for treats. You can find her relaxing in her cube, under all her friends. Venus is definitely a favourite in our house. Like her name suggests, she's a lover. her favourite thing to do is give tons of kisses, whether it's our hands, faces or even our ears. She is the first one to come get treats and sometimes sleeps at the front of ...

Sakkari & Aryna (adoption pending)

Posted on September 20, 2023September 27, 2023 by Rachel Shen

A few words about them from their Foster Family: Sakkari: This strong and friendly girl is a cuddler. She loves to snuggle in my neck and she can stay there for as long as I let her. She runs to the front of the cage whenever she hears us go by. Aryna: My little drama queen! She lets out little screams (when she doesn't agree with my decisions of when we should interact), but don't let it fool you, it's all an act. She is a little more shy then Sakkari but has been coming out of her shell ...

Velma & Daphne (adoption pending)

Posted on August 23, 2023 by Rachel Shen

Sisters Velma & Daphne were purchased from PetSmart about a year ago, and unfortunately they were nor very brave or social. Their previous owner tried what she could to win them over, but having no experience with rats, she had them a year and made no progress and thus decided to surrender them to the Rescue. Luckily we had an amazing foster who was able to almost immediately gain their trust and in the three weeks they were with that foster, they learned to enjoy hanging out with humans, tak...

Jerry & Tommy (adoption pending)

Posted on July 11, 2023August 23, 2023 by Rachel Shen

Jerry and Tommy were surrendered to the Rescue after their previous owner had to move and decided she couldn't take the pet rats with her. It just so happened that they were both still babies because she had just purchased them 3 weeks ago, but unfortunately she couldn't remember the name of the breeder she got Tommy from, and the pet store she bought Jerry from only allows 7 days to return an unwanted pet. The good news is that we had a foster family become available, and so we were able to ...

This beautiful trio of sisters were originally purchased from a breeder online, but unfortunately, their original owner decided they could not take their rats with them when they moved. They couldn't remember the name of the breeder, so instead, she thankfully reached out to us hoping that we could take them in. She believes that they are all about one year old, making them born some time in May of 2022. All three girls are incredibly friendly, even though they arrived quite skinny, with extr...

Mango, Peach and Ichigo were part of a group of 13 baby rats who were dumped outside in a Brockville cemetery.

Meet brothers Socrates & Ben, two of the sweetest boys ever! They were definitely well-loved and cared for by their previous human until life-changes made them too expensive to care for. They arrived to the Rescue in perfect health and used to being handled. In fact, they seem to really ENJOY being held and calm down once they get to spend some time in your sweater or your arms. It has taken them some time to get used to their new foster home, but it really only took a week to settle in. They ar...
