Reed, Angus and Nico of three of the sweetest boys you will ever meet. They were surrendered to the SPCA Gatineau in September of 2023 with mild respiratory infections. We estimate that they were born some time in March of 2023. The staff at the SPCA could see right away that they were sweet, loving boys who craved attention and wanted to explore, but with their limited space and time, they contacted the Rescue hoping that we would have a foster home available that could give them the love and ...

Eddie & Remi

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Dusty and Remi were part of a group of 13 baby rats who were dumped outside in a Brockville cemetery. Due to sheer coincidence, a kind couple were at the time out walking their dog and they watched as a woman with a plastic bag abandoned them outside to fend for themselves. We estimate that they were born some time in early April of 2023. Luckily, all of the babies are incredibly sweet, easy to handle, and just want some love. They didn’t even try to run away from their rescuers who were a...

Blizzard Boys

Posted on by Rachel Shen
If you're looking to add some love and cuteness to your life (and a healthy dose of chaos) look no further! The Blizzard Boys are here! We estimate they were born some time mid-March 2023. Originally surrendered through the SPCA Gatineau, they were immediately transferred to the Rescue due to the lack of space at the SPCA. They were part of an unplanned litter when their previous human found himself with too many rats and all of the sexes mixed up. These boys are so sweet, so curious and f...

They were part of a large hoarding situation in Gatineau/Hull area and were luckily saved by a kind woman who spent weeks and weeks saving hundreds of pet rats from being exterminated.

Totoro & Jiji (experienced home only)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet the extremely handsome Totoro and Jiji who are looking for a home to call their own. These two boys are estimated to be around 1 year old, but it's very hard to know their exact age as they were found as strays outside in a box in Montreal. They spent a few weeks at the Montreal SPCA where they were treated for parasites, then were transferred into our care where they would have more one-on-one attention and hopefully a better chance of finding a home. Of the two, Totoro is definitely...

Socrates (neutered) & Ben

Posted on by Rachel Shen
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...

Goofy & Pluto (neutered)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Update: Feb. 13, 2023, Pluto has been neutered to help resolve some hormonal behaviour towards his brother.

Iggy & Nimbus

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These brothers were born June 22, 2021 after their mother was left at the SPCA Gatineau, pregnant. They were adopted, but sadly were recently returned due to allergies. While these two sweethearts are on the slightly older side, they would still be wonderful companions for someone who has a bit of experience with rats, and it looking for calm, cuddly boys who will just hang out with you on the couch and give you all the kisses and licks you would ever want. Both are extremely sweet, comfortab...

Joseph & Giorno

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Brothers Joseph & Giorno are estimated to have been born sometime in December of 2021. They arrived at the Rescue extremely skinny, but their previous owner had obviously still done a wonderful job socializing them, because they are friendly, loving and love to follow their foster mom around her entire apartment! Of the two, Giorno (black) is slightly more energetic and tends to be more of the leader, but Joseph (brown), is just as active, and the two of them get along great. They're always c...

They are still very sweet, curious and just needed a little TLC. Now we just need to find these br...
