sisters

Gracie and Bella

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These sisters are the daughters of Nessie and Stella. We know that they were born on Dec. 28, 2025. It's unfortunate that their original human over the last 10 months of their lives had no time and less energy to care for these girls. So due to lack of socialization, by the time their previous human decided to surrender them to the Rescue, they had become extremely skiddish and dirty. Over the last month and a bit, their foster family has had to do a lot of work to slowly gain their trust. ...

Lola & Momo

Posted on by Rachel Shen
We can't believe that these two adorable girls lost their home! If you're looking for the perfect fun and affectionate companions, look no further. Lola and Momo were initially purchased from a pet store as a gift for a child. Unfortunately, they quickly lost interest and so Lola and Momo ended up at the Rescue. Both of them are extremely active, love to give you licks on the fingers and never stay still! They love to climb, explore and use their human as a jungle gym. You will notice that...

Ember, Nova, Birch and Moose (Experienced Home or Sponsor Us!)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These girls are all in their senior years and were surrendered by their previous owner due to worsening allergies. Due to some behavioral issues, ongoing health issues, as well as potential future health issues due to their age, we are looking for an experienced home only. If you are unable to give these girls a loving forever home for their golden months, please also consider being a sponsor for their current, and inevitably, their future veterinary costs. Ember (albino – DOB Jan. 2, 2025...

Rosie and Stevie

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These adorable sisters were born on Dec. 28, 2025 and were the result of an oops litter. Their original rescuer tried her best, but with so many rats suddenly in her care, these girls didn't get the socialization they needed when they were first born. Because of that, Rosie and Stevie can be a little bit stand-offish and are wary of loud sounds, sudden movement and new people. With a lot of patience and gentleness, their foster mom has made great progress with socializing these girls. They wo...

Vanji & Brooklyn

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These adorable sisters were born on Dec. 28, 2025 and are some of the friendliest babies we've taken in recently. They were the result of an oops litter, and their original rescuer has done an amazing job socializing them despite her limited resources. Considering how young they are, we are looking for a home who will provide them with tons of enrichment, lots of room to grow into and every opportunity to continue their socialization and development. If you would like to inquire about adop...

Koetje & Mouwtje

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sisters Koetje and Mouwtje were born on Aug. 11, 2025. They were part of an accidental oops litter who were born out in Pembroke. Their humans have done so much socializing with them, that these girls are friendly and quite brave. Both ladies are super curious and adventurous! They love to climb their nearest human and are always begging to come out to play. They aren't the biggest fans of being picked up, but are more then happy to run all over you and to perch on your shoulders when offered...

Pebbles, Peanut & Lily

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Pebbles, Peanut & Lily were surrendered to the Rescue several months ago from a family who had "lost interest". Despite everything they have been through, they are the sweetest, most gentle rats you will ever meet. Dainty older ladies with a few eccentricities is the perfect way to describe them. Unfortunately, they arrived with several ailments. Some of them grossly underplayed and others, the previous owners just seemed completely oblivious. Where to even start? Pebbles: arrived with...

Momma Thyme, Cilantro & Parsley

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These girls didn't exactly have the best start to life. In fact, they were found at a dump in a bag along with their brothers. Luckily they were found by a kind soul and brought to the SPCA in Montreal where they stayed for 3 weeks to ensure they were healthy and not pregnant. Now they are in Ottawa with our Rescue and a wonderful foster family and ready to find a forever home. We estimate that Cilantro and Parsley were born some time in late April or early May of 2025 and that Momma Thyme wa...

Snow Baby & Fifi

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These two sweet babies are estimated to be born some time in January or February of 2024. However, it's possible that they are even younger. Unfortunately we know very little about them. They were being given away for free on Facebook, when another lady saw them and decided to take them to prevent anyone using them for nefarious reasons. Unfortunately she herself could not actually keep them long term. So when the Rescue finally had the space available to take in new surrenders, Snow Baby and...

Ladle & Whisk

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet sisters Ladle and Whisk were part of an oops litter that was originally surrendered to the Gatineau SPCA and then transferred to the Rescue as they unfortunately did not have the capacity to keep them at the shelter. We estimate that they were born some time in August of 2024, and whoever had them before did an amazing job socializing these girls and making sure they were friendly and oh-so-sweet. They are extremely bonded, yet at the same time, easily accepted the company of other o...

Scarlet & Fitzgerald

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet ladies Scarlet and Fitzgerald were surrendered to the Rescue after their previous owner unfortunately could not longer take care of them. A large part of that was because of Scarlet's ongoing eye issues and increasing vet bills. As a hairless rat, Scarlet is and will continue to be very prone to eye infections and other eye-related issues. Although stable and healthy now after several rounds of treatment, there is always the chance that she will eventually need surgery to have both her...

They were an oops litter from Peterborough where their previous human unfortunately allowed her male rat to get two of her female rats pregnant. Matilda and Winnie are part of a group of 24 babies who were surrendered to the Rescue.

Peach & Rosa

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Peach & Rosa are sweet sisters whom we estimate to be between 10 months to 1 year old. They were originally surrendered to the SPCA Gatineau with a much older girl who unfortunately already had PT symptoms as well as some respiratory issues; the older girl had to eventually be euthanized, leaving just Rosa and Peach. These two girls are a hoot! They explore, scamper everywhere and love to cuddle and tussle in equal amounts. They are not exactly the cuddliest girls, but they love their huma...

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Paris and Fidji are estimated to be born some time in July of 2022 making them approximately 1 year 6 months old. Both of them were purchased from Pet Circus in downtown Ottawa, however, their previous owner decided she could no longer handle them due to some behavioral and health issues. Below are a few words from their foster family: Paris: She is a very active girl. Paris loves to climb all over us and give us kisses. Of the bunch, she is the most fearless and fast as lightning!

Sydney and Gaia

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Update: May 15, 2024. Unfortunately Sydney very rapidly developed symptoms of congestive heart failure. While she initially responded very well to lasiks + antibiotics, over the May long weekend, she had a sudden and severe decline. The foster, along with the rescue and our vet made the call to say goodbye to Sydney. Sydney and Gaia are estimated to be born some time in October of 2022 making them approximately 1 year 3 months old. Both of them were purchased from Pet Circus in downtown Ottaw...

Mabel, Jasmine and Amelia

Posted on by Rachel Shen
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...

Update Jan. 23, 2024: Opal's tumor was successfully removed and both girls are now fully recovered and ready to find their forever home! Update Jan. 8, 2024: Pearl's tumor was ...

Fern & Ivy

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sister Fern and Ivy were purchased by their previous owner from Pet Smart in May of 2023. Thus, we estimate that they are about 6 months old currently. Unfortunately their previous owner lost interest and thus these girls were banned to the garage until her father reached out to us and we were able to find a foster to take them in. Since arriving in their new foster home, they have really come out of their shell and their personalities shine! Below are a few words from their foster family:...
