Mabel, Jasmine and Amelia

This adorable mother-daughter trio are perfect in every way! We were told Mabel (mother), is about 1.5 years old, but we sincerely think she's closer to just 1 year old, as she still has so much energy and spunk. It's possible the previous owner got her age wrong since she herself got them from someone who had them before. Mabel is a total attention hog, and though she takes the longest to warm up to new people, once you have her trust, she'll be the one demand you pay attention to her. He...

Wanda & Lilith

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

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

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

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

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...

Ginny (sponsor me!)

Update: Nov. 2, 2023 Unfortunately Bear developed both PT and a mammary tumor right by her groin. Due to these two issues, we attempted to first control the PT symptoms to keep her comfortable, knowing that her time would be limited. After two weeks with no improvement on cabergoline and Bear losing her appetite and mobility, we had to make the difficult decision to have her euthanized. Ginny is now living with her foster mome's rat, Strawberry. She continues to have chronic respiratory issu...

Faye, Raven & Angel

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.

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...
