Jojo & Blossom

Posted on April 17, 2017September 7, 2017 by Rachel Shen

Meet sweet sisters Jojo and Blossom. They were surrendered along with their other two sisters, Buttercup and Bubbles at the SPCA Gatineau. These girls are an estimated 1 year to 1.5 years old. Unfortunately we have very little information about them, other than the fact that Jojo showed up at the shelter very very pregnant. After successfully raising all 15 of her babies (yup, she was a trooper), Jojo has rejoined her sisters and is now looking for a forever home. Jojo must be adopted with...

Celeste & Diana

Posted on August 15, 2016September 30, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Meet Celeste and Diana, both so sweet and curious and just joyous to have a second chance. These sisters were surrendered by a well-meaning person who unfortunately found herself unable to keep her pet rats. After spending a few weeks with our experienced foster mom, both are now extremely outgoing and can't wait to climb onto your shoulders or hands. They love to interact with their humans and you can bet on them to be right there at the door any time you walk by. Celeste is a very pretty...

Joy & Molly

Posted on July 29, 2016September 6, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Joy and Molly are almost opposites of each other. Joy is a little crazy, super outgoing, brave like she's 7 feet tall (even though she's actually tiny, even for a young female rat!) and is the most vocal rat we have ever heard in our 4 years as a rescue. She takes every opportunity to escape, and hands? Hands are just platforms, to be used at leisure when adventure is on the horizon! We seriously can't say enough wonderful things about the busy-bee that is Joy. Oh, and did we mention, she's ...

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...

Chico & Pikko

Posted on June 16, 2016December 12, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Meet Chico and Pikko, an adorable mother-daughter pair who are extremely bonded and would like to find a loving home together. Chico and Pikko were abandoned at the SPCA Gatineau along with the father rat and several other babies. Having never had a decent loving home, both girls were extremely nervous and scared, but after spending a month with our experienced foster-mom, both have made incredible progress. Both are curious, and despite their fear have never bitten or even nipped. Both ar...

Meeko & Fleek

Posted on April 4, 2016July 12, 2016 by Rachel Shen

Meeko and Fleek were transferred to us from the SPCA Outaouais. These boys were abandoned at the SPCA in a cardboard box when they were only about a month old. Now, they are 5 months old and flourishing under the love of their foster mom. They are very good shoulder-riders, and while both are still a tad nervous about being picked up, they don't put up much of a fight. Once they are out and about, they love climbing up on you, and checking in to see what the human is doing. These bonded b...

These two girls are members of the group of rats and babies we took in from the SPCA. They are originally from a pet store that dumped 66 rats (including some pregnant adults) on the SPCA – who is simply not equipped to handle that many rats.

SPCA Rescue Group

Posted on October 21, 2014October 21, 2014 by Kaitlynne-Rae

Over this last weekend a pet store went out of business. The pet store had rats - mostly as feeders, but also sold them as pets. When they closed their doors they had 66 rats - including many who were very, very young. The rats were all together - males and females. The store owner took all these rats and dumped them at the SPCA in Outaouais. They contacted us as they are not equipped to deal with the sheer quantity of small animals. As a result, we have taken in 29 rats - many of which are extr...
