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.

Nina, Pinta & Santa Maria

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet sisters Nina, Pinta and the bravest girl, Santa Maria. These 3 girls were surrendered by a previous owner who did her best to care for them, but found herself overwhelmed due to lack of time. Despite this, all three girls are perfectly healthy, very friendly and curious although still a little bit shy. They love to eat carbs like noodles, bread and rice, and are slowly warming up to other fresh fruits and veggies. Their foster mom says they are becoming more sociable every single day!...

Their previous owner did the best she could to ensure they had a good life, but unfortunately found herself overwhelmed and with a busy work schedule, had little time to care for them. Despite this, they are curious, friendly and although still a little bit shy, are becoming more inquisitive every single day. Both girls are also in perfect health and clearly lived in a clean environment. The ideal home for Lyra and O...

Yara & Sanna

Posted on by Rachel Shen
You will not find a more perfect pair of rats anywhere. Sisters Yara and Sanna are estimated to be born in July of 2020. They are sweet, attentive, brave, loving and so very smart. They know their names and come when call. Of the two, Yara is slightly more food motivated, while Sanna will literally forego a treat for the sake of playing and interacting with her favourite toy in the word: humans. If anything, the only negative thing about these girls is that Sanna so desperately craves attenti...

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 ...

Spud & Skadi

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sisters Spud & Skadi were born some time between June and July of 2020 when a girl brought home a pair of pet rats from a store without realizing that the store had given her a boy and a girl. Several months later, the girl found herself overwhelmed with many babies from a litter of rats that she had never intended to breed. Luckily, the girl had done a wonderful job socializing all of the rats, and despite their cramped conditions, Spud & Skadi are extremely friendly, social and loving girls...

Babs & Galadriel

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sisters Babs & Galadriel are estimated to be born around July of 2020. They are both extremely curious and friendly and don't mind being picked up or handled. They prefer of course, to run and explore, but they're always willing to come to the door of the cage to see if the humans are there to hand out treats or to take them out for some run-around time. These girls can also be adopted with their sisters, Arrielle & Ursula.

Rowena

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Update Jan. 28, 2021. Unfortunately, Cora had to be euthanized at the emergency vet early Thursday morning due to respiratory related complications. Cora had been battling chronic respiratory infections for well over a year. RIP little one. Cora and Rowena are actually related. Cora was born Oct. 31, 2018, while Rowena was likely born 6 months earlier and was in fact Cora's grandmother. Both girls were taken from a backyard breeder who was primarily breeding snake food. After spending almo...

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...

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet this trio of unlikely friends (from left to right), Wilma who is about 1 year old, Amy, who is estimated to be 1.5 years old and Nutmeg, who is around 7 months old. All three were brought into the rescue from dire situations. Wilma had a small mass and a hernia on top of a respiratory infection. All of her health issues have now been completely resolved.

Poppy, Pixie, Ivy & Lucy

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These 4 tightly bonded girls range from 8 months old (Lucy) to the eldest, being 18 months old (Ivy). Sisters Poppy and Pixie are estimated to be about 1 year old. We would like to find them a home together as each of them relies strongly on the other for comfort and confidence. Of the 4, Lucy is definitely the most shy. She may never exactly be a human rat, as she much prefers the company of her sisters. Once she's out of the cage, she's quite confident in exploring and running around on her...

Amy (sponsor me!)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet, awkward Amy was surrendered to the Rescue by a previous owner who could not afford to take her to see a vet. Amy had unfortunately been living in a small tank on wood shavings her whole life. She had developed respiratory symptoms several months earlier, but her previous owner did not or could not take her to see a vet. Finally, when Amy started to show severe symptoms, including lack of appetite, lethargy and gasping, her previous owner reached out to the Rescue, asking us to save her...

Ellie (sponsor me!)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet elderly Ellie was surrendered to the rescue covered in lice, with a respiratory infection and initial symptoms of PT (pituitary tumor). We were honestly not even sure if little old Ellie would make it. Miraculously, with the love and care of her foster, plus the right antibioitcs and cabergoline to treat her PT symptoms, Ellie is almost completely back to being a normal rat. She's a little cuddlier than most, and she does sleep a lot, but you would never know that just a few weeks ago, ...

Ronnie & Ru

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet adorable sisters, Ronnie & Ru. These two fun, quirky girls were estimated to be born around Sept. of 2019. They are inseparable and absolutely love chilling together in their hammocks. They are extremely friendly and well-socialized and came from a home that obviously cared a lot about them, but unfortunately just ended up with too many rats to have the time and resources to provide for them in the long-run. Especially seeing as Ru is hairless, she will need a family that is knowledg...

Duckie & Dove

Meet friendly, adorable sisters, Duckie & Dove. These two were born Dec. 28, 2019, and have been handled since the day they were born. Unfortunately, their breeder ended up with too many rats, and decided she would stop breeding and get rid of about half her rats. Duckie & Dove need a home where they will have lots of space, toys, and plenty of time outside of their cage to interact with their humans where they can live out the rest of their lives together. If you are interested in adop...
