These two girls came to us from a breeder in Mascouche who had been reported and was getting rid of his animals. Both came pregnant and very unsure about humans, hands, and everything else. In the past month Anna has been spayed; Dixie has given birth to a litter of 6, which she is currently nursing; and both girls have learned that humans can bring love, warmth, and of course treats.

This lovely lady is from one of the two resulting litters from the Mascouche Breeder. She lived the first six weeks of her life at the rescue and was extremely playful and cuddly. A gorgeous black and white dumbo, we're so happy she has found a loving forever home that can give her tons of love and cuddles.

These two darlings came to us from a horrible breeding situation in Mascouche, but you wouldn't know it. Cassy is a firecracker of energy and loves exploring, but will come back for a cuddle to make sure you're still there. Jezzabell is a little shy, but once she feels safe will settle down on your chest for cuddles and love. Both girls are an estimated 4 month old as of August 2014.

Caleese

Posted on September 8, 2014September 25, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

This little darling came to us from an intake pound called Auberg Zen in Laval QC. They give them 30 days at the pound. If they are not picked up by an adopter or another shelter, they are euthanized... She is so friendly, energetic, and brave! She loves exploring and getting into mischief - as well as visiting all the other rats in the rescue. She is also here to stay - she's managed to wriggle her cute little face deep into Rachel's heart, so has been given her forever home permanently with Ra...

Kit & Skittles

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Kit & Skittles were surrendered by a well-meaning family who simply could not keep them due to allgergies. These two boys were inseperable yet had very different personalities. While Skittles was friendly and a little shy, Kit was defensive and tended to resort to biting when scared or nervous. These boys garnered quite a bit of attention due to Skittles beautiful markings, but potential adopters were put-off by Kit. Finally, along came their rat-dad, who was ready to love them and care for them...

Soleil & Gaia

Posted on September 5, 2014September 6, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Both Soleil and Gaia came from very sad and neglectful previous homes. Little Soleil was a barely grown month-old baby, already separated from her family and given away when the snake wouldn't eat her. Gaia was the extremely young mother and protector of a small liter of babies which she valiantly tried to raise in a jar set at the bottom of an otherwise empty cage. Gaia too, was meant to be snake food, but was too large to be eaten. These two extremely lucky girls who survived extraordinary cir...

Romeo, Elvis and Mercutio are three extremely lucky brothers who literally went from a tiny crowded cage, straight into a forever home that's best described as a little piece of ratty-heaven.

Walter and Viktor were surrendered by their owner who did not have the time or the funds to take care of them.
