Margaret & Elizabeth

Posted on July 18, 2018December 12, 2019 by Rachel Shen

Meet Elizabeth (beige) & her sister Margaret (black) These 2 sisters came from a pretty horrid situation where they lived with 2 others in a tiny cramped cage with no food or toys. They have come a very long way, as all of them were desperately in need of some proper nourishment and socialization. Of all of them, Elizabeth is the most outgoing. She's brave, adventurous and actually kind of likes people now. Margaret on the other hand, still needs quite a bit of patience and someone who can...

Opal (spayed) & Pirate

Posted on May 15, 2018June 22, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet Opal and Pirate, two spunky girls who still have a lot of growing to do and tons of energy to expend. Opal is estimated to be 4 months old. She was spayed when only 3 months old, meaning she will hopefully be much healthier with a drastically LOWER chance of any reproductive cancers. She is a little love bug. She loves to give kisses and always looks for opportunities to scramble into your hand. Once she's out, she's quite bossy and confidence. Nothing phases her. She loves to explore, c...

Sparrow, Anamaria & Calypso

Posted on April 3, 2018August 17, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet this spunky, friendly trio of sisters who had a very rough start to life, but bounced right back to be happy, healthy girls after only a month with the Rescue. Sparrow, Anamaria & Calypso started life as snake food, lived for months in a plastic bin, spent a few more weeks in a tiny cramped cage with 9 other girls, and finally their life made a turn for the better in February of 2018. These girls are super active, love to eat, climb and generally be social. They are not wary of hands ...

Meet brothers Clark & Parker who are looking for a loving home together! These boys are still very small and have so much growing to do. They are very friendly, curious and overall just need a loving consistent home to ensure they grow up well.

Beau (neutered) & Hugo

Posted on October 23, 2017December 13, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Meet Beau (neutered) and Hugo. Both boys were originally strays. Beau was found wandering around outside in Ottawa, while Hugo was found outside in Belleville. These two were likely made for each other, as they got along almost immediately and are both estimated to be around 6 months old. Of the two, Beau is much calmer and almost serene. It doesn't take him long to warm up to new people, and once he's decided he can trust you, he's fine with being picked up, and even cuddling a little. Hugo ...

Aurora & Nova

Posted on October 23, 2017January 24, 2018 by Rachel Shen

Meet adorable sisters, Aurora and Nova. They are estimated to have been born early to mid-August 2017. These girls were originally supposed to become snake food, however, the snake owner had a last minute change of heart and could no longer bear to watch them killed and eaten by her snakes. Thankfully, she reached out to the rescue. Despite everything they have been through, Aurora and Nova are extremely well-socialized. As with ALL babies, they don't really enjoy being held, but they are...

Bubbles (spayed) & Blossom

Posted on March 17, 2017November 28, 2017 by Rachel Shen

These sisters are estimated to be about 1.5 years old. They were unfortunately dropped off at the SPCA in Gatineau as unwanted rats with very little information about where they came from and what their previous living conditions were like. Thankfully, regardless of their past, these two girls are friendly, curious and with just a little bit of socialization will definitely become absolute sweethearts. With their super soft fur, big dumbo ears and curious personalities, Buttercup & Bubble...

Pitter and Pat

Posted on January 6, 2017February 28, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Pitter and Pat are sweet, 4 month old brothers who were purchased from a pet store on a whim and unfortunately neglected for the next 3 months. Thankfully, the adults in the family eventually realized that they needed to be surrendered or rehomed. Understandably, both boys are extremely nervous having never been handled and they will need a calm, patient family to adopt them. At the moment, they are being fostered by one of our experienced foster moms and she has slowly but steady made progre...

Viola, Regan & Constance

Posted on November 17, 2016February 28, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Meet Viola, Regan & Constance (from left to right) sisters who are an estimated 2 months old. This trio was born and kept in a tiny hamster cage, 8″x10″ wide along with 21 other rats until they were surrendered to the Rescue. Due to their rather unfortunate start to life, these sisters are understandably still nervous about being picked up or handled. However, they are all extremely curious and gentle and with just a little time, love and care, will grow into wonderful pets! The ideal home...

Meet Iago and Timon, two brothers whom we suspect are around 7 months old. These two were kept in a tiny hamster cage, 8″x10″ wide along with 21 other rats until they were surrendered to the Rescue. Due to their rather unfortunate start to life, Iago and Timon are understandably still a little nervous about being picked up and handled. However, both are extremely curious, never bite and with just a little love and attention would make wonderful pets. Iago (black capped) is definitely the brav...

Major J. Hill & Kearnel

Posted on November 14, 2016December 12, 2016 by Rachel Shen

These two sweet girls come from vastly different backgrounds, however, it seems that fate wanted them to meet and become best friends. Major Hill was a stray abandoned at Major Hill Park in Downtown Ottawa. You can read all about her dramatic rescue on our Facebook Page as well as her progress as she healed and became a slightly nervous, but totally sweet girl that she is now. Kearnel was simply unwanted after a family had her for about 8 months. She was given away to a neighbour who thankful...

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...
