Ella & Spirit

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Can you tell these two extremely bonded girls are sisters? Ella and Spirit are never far from each other, whether awake, or sleeping. Both girls are extremely friendly and outgoing and would make wonderful pets for anyone who would enjoy spending time with a pair of lively girls. They love to explore and sometimes... they make a mess while going about their antics. Neither are very interested in cuddling, but they love to run all around and over their humans and are not hand-shy at all. If...

Celeste & Diana

Posted on 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...

John Smith & Flynn Rider

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet John Smith and his brother and best-friend, Flynn. The two are pretty much inseparable and like to get into all sorts of trouble together. Quite often, I find them guilty and covered in dirt, digging up my houseplants together. Other times, they climb up on an empty cage, even though they know they're not supposed to be there, and then they end up stuck and need help getting down. Both boys are about 6-7 months old and are almost done growing. John Smith is the albino, and is the slightl...

Meeko & Fleek

Posted on 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...

Toby & Ben

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Toby & Ben. Probably the most adorable, active, puppy-like rats you will ever meet. When Toby and Ben are excited to see people they will drop everything and immediately run to the door. They are great for being picked up or held and are free to run on the ground because they come immediately when called. Toby (black and white hooded) is more eager to please, whereas Ben is a tiny bit more independent and will sometimes play hard-to-get. Both boys are about 4-5 months old and are look...

Fleur & Cosette

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These two sisters are looking for a patient, understanding, loving family who has experience with rats, or are willing to work with them, through thick and thin. They were rescued from a very bad situation along with 18 other rats, many of whom will also need a special home. The first is tiny little Fleur. Despite her diminutive size, Fleur is quick to protect her much larger sister, Cosette. She is unfortunately still quite prone to nipping, especially when anyone tries to pick her up. Howev...

Pipper & Charlie

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Pipper and Charlie. These two sweethearts didn't get much love or attention in their previous home where it seems like they were rarely handled. Pipper (agouti) arrived with a pea-sized abscess on her throat which has now been resolved and 100% healed. She is definitely the slightly more nervous of the two girls. Charlie is slightly more outgoing, and much more easily coaxed out with food and gentle words. Both girls still have a ways to go and are looking for a caring, understanding hom...

Meet Bebop and Snapdragon, two boys closely bonded that came from different situations. Bepop was at a shelter, living in a tiny hamster cage for 3.5 months and was in danger of being euthanized for a respiratory infection.

Bridgette & Eve

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Bridgette (black) a little bit crazy. She has no interest at all in being held or cuddled. She is doing much more important things like exploring and finding out if she climb the broomstick. Eve (agouti) was a very young mother who gave birth to an unknown number of babies. She takes a little bit of patience to win her trust, but once you have it, she'll climb into your hand any chance she gets. These girls are currently being fostered in Ottawa.
