Lillikus & Serena

Posted on by Rachel Shen
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, Lillikus is the brave adventurer. She's always the first to greet the humans at the door and is also always the first to try new foods and explore new toys. On the other hand, her sister Serena tends to hang back a little bit, and requires a little mor...

Chai & Rosemary

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet baby sisters Chai & Rosemary 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! These sisters 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. If yo...

Springfield & Dusty (neutered)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Springfield and Dusty are brothers who came from a very neglectful situation where they were left to live in filth, infested with mites and left to wallow in their own urine. Thankfully, we were able to take them in at a relatively young age, and despite how nervous they were at first, these boys have made huge progress. Estimated to be born between Dec. 23 and 25th of 2020, these boys are still young and have some growing left to do. Both boys are now neutered due to some aggressive beha...

Bug & Cowboy

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brothers Bug & Cowboy. These two were born March 9th, 2021. Their mother was originally surrendered to the rescue already pregnant. These boys were born at the Rescue and have been handled since day both. Both are extremely friendly and just need a little bit of time and encouragement to come out of their shell when they go into a new home. Even though they are still so young, potential adoptions need to have an enclosure that meets or preferably exceeds our minimum requirements. Please...

Sora & Willet

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These adorable baby sisters are estimated to be born between Feb. 21 and Feb. 23, 2021. They are young, friendly, healthy and still have so much learning and growing to do. 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. If you are interested in adopting these two, please fill out an adoption application form.

Frey & Loki

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Brothers Frey & Loki are estimated to be born Dec. 20, 2020. They are friendly though still a little bit shy. Once they are out of their cage and used to their new environment, both will clamber all over their human as long as we are calm and don't make any sudden loud noises. Considering how young they are, their progress has been incredibly quick and likely with just a bit of patience and persistence, they will become extremely friendly and social boys. To apply to adopt Frey & Loki, ple...

Ullysses & Ajax

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brothers, Ullysses & Ajax. These two are estimated to have been born in July of 2020. Both are extremely curious and friendly and don't mind at all being held. Since they came from a neglectful home previously, they are still a little bit nervous about being picked up, but it only takes the tiniest bit of coaxing to have them crawl onto your hand or arms themselves. If you're interest in adopting these two adorable brothers, please fill out an adoption application form.

Mirabelle & Leonor (spayed)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
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 ...

Lilac & Violet

Posted on by Rachel Shen
This pair of sweet, dainty girls are estimated to be about 3 months old and 5 months old respectively. Initially part of a large seizure of rats in Montreal Quebec, they were transferred into the care of the Ottawa Pet Rat Rescue where they would hopefully have a better chance at finding a forever home. While Violet (dumbo) is brave, friendly and super outgoing, baby Lilac is still unfortunately quite shy and tends to want to hide. She definitely still isn't the most comfortable being picked ...

Max, Merlin & Marcel

Posted on by Rachel Shen
This trouble-some trio were from two separate litters, but you would never guess because of how tightly bonded they now are. Of the 3, Marcel (right) was born Oct. 25, 2020, while his two adopted brothers were born just 2 days earlier. Marcel is also half-wild, meaning his father was a wild rat, while his mother was a fully domesticated (and extremely friendly) pet rat who had been abandoned outside. These three must be adopted together. Due to their past, they would prefer an experienced ...

Yuri & Neptune

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brothers, Yuri & Neptune. Born Aug. 22 or Aug. 23, 2020, these two are maybe technically actually cousins, but their mothers raised them together, literally taking turns feeding them. Because of this, the two are absolutely inseparable. Yes, they do have their scuffles here and there, like all brothers do, but they are always found curled around each other in the hammocks. Both Yuri and Neptune are curious and adventurous. They're not the biggest fans of being picked up, but at the same ...

Evita & Celeste

Posted on by Rachel Shen
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...

Quincy & Perceval

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Identical twin brothers, Quincy & Perceval were born sometime in April of 2020, making them currently the youngest rats at the Rescue. These brothers were purchased from Kijiji, only to have mites or lice, which unfortunately their previous human did not have the time or funds to treat. With just a drop of Revolution each, and a very thorough cage clean, these brothers are now healthy, curious, bouncy and ready to find that perfect forever home. Although they may look identical, you can ea...

They are extremely friendly and sociable.
