This sweet pair of boys were surrendered to the Rescue when their previous owner unfortunately encountered some health issues. They had to make the difficult decision to rehome them, but these boys were clearly very loved, because they are sweet, extremely well socialized and very friendly.

Merlin & Gandalf

Posted on May 12, 2026August 11, 2026 by Rachel Shen

These two senior boys are estimated to be over a year old. It is unfortunately difficult to tell exactly how old they are, as their previous owner wasn't sure, and they arrived in very rough shape. Their previous owner had unfortunately lost their home and was keeping them in a carrier in their car for quite a while before we were able to take them in. Gandalf arrived with a respiratory infection and both had scabs from mites and fighting. Luckily, with a much better environment, ample room, ...

These adorable sisters were born on Dec. 28, 2025 and are some of the friendliest babies we've taken in recently.

Pebbles, Peanut & Lily

Posted on July 4, 2025August 11, 2026 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...

Posted on October 15, 2024November 16, 2024 by Rachel Shen

These sweet boys have already been passed around to two different homes at just an estimated 5-6 months old. Originally purchased by a teen, they were then passed on to the daughter of one of our adopters (without their mother's permission) and thus, ended up in our care. These sweethearts just need a loving forever home that can help them build confidence and give them the stability and familiarity they need to thrive. Despite being moved around so much, they are still very curious, altho...

Update: April 29, 2024 Mallow & Boodle will need a final treatment of parasite medication on May 13, 2024. Potential adopters need to be aware and willing to apply a simple topical solution provided by the Rescue on that date and to continue to monitor for symptoms, if required. Mallow & Boodle were originally adopted from the Montreal SPCA as tiny babies, then surrendered to the Rescue along with the sweet Shucks and Jerry. These two boys are a little more unsure about being handled, bu...

Jerry & Tommy

Posted on July 11, 2023November 2, 2023 by Rachel Shen

Jerry and Tommy were surrendered to the Rescue after their previous owner had to move and decided she couldn't take the pet rats with her. It just so happened that they were both still babies because she had just purchased them 3 weeks ago, but unfortunately she couldn't remember the name of the breeder she got Tommy from, and the pet store she bought Jerry from only allows 7 days to return an unwanted pet. The good news is that we had a foster family become available, and so we were able to ...

Meet the extremely handsome Totoro and Jiji who are looking for a home to call their own. These two boys are estimated to be around 1 year old, but it's very hard to know their exact age as they were found as strays outside in a box in Montreal. They spent a few weeks at the Montreal SPCA where they were treated for parasites, then were transferred into our care where they would have more one-on-one attention and hopefully a better chance of finding a home. Of the two, Totoro is definitely...
