Adopt from our Ontario Rat Rescue

---

Dellard (lighter brown) and Tazer (dark brown), and their three brothers were all born safely in rescue care, never having to experience life without love or compassion.  These two brothers were taken to a foster home in Hamilton, to potentially meet new friends at some point. They have become very confident, loving, and attention needy in their foster home, and have now grown to their impressively large adult size! They would be perfect for first-time rat owners or families with kids as they are playful and easy to handle :)

Originally a group of 6, these boys are very sweet, friendly, and ready for a home to take over (only in the most affectionate ways). Coming from a home where they were unwanted and left with a family friend who graciously cared for them as long as they could, they came out on the other side thankfully still full of health and joy. They would be wonderful for first time owners and homes with young kids given their playful friendly nature. They are estimated to be 12 months old.

We believe they would do well integrating with other rats if you have. Want to welcome these cuties into your life? 🏡 Fill out an adoption application  to give them the loving home they deserve! 💕

These adorable baby boys earned their nickname after being discovered under a bridge in Meaford, Ontario. Thankfully, a kind passerby spotted them and reached out to us for urgent help. Thanks to that lifesaving call, these lucky little guys now have a second chance at finding loving forever homes.

Estimated to be between 10–13 weeks old upon intake in May 2026, this pair has proven just how resilient they are. They have had a rough start, but are incredibly curious and with time, would warm up to be comfortable around people, and are ready to become wonderful companions. Whether you're a first-time small animal owner or an experienced rat lover, these sweet boys would make great pets. Their gentle personalities and affectionate nature make them a joy to be around.

Could you be the happy ending these little survivors deserve?❤️

Marshmallow came to us recently after he was rescued by an amazing couple of animal lovers who witnessed their neighbour heartlessly dumping him outside by some trash bins. Despite this frightful experience, Marshmallow pushed through and still trusts humans. He is one heck of a confident boy! Given his past, he is very protective of his home and prefers our hands outside of his home. Once he comes out to play though, he is a fun lovely boy who loves his treats and veggies! Call his name and he quickly comes to the front of the cage to greet you.

We are working on integrating Marshmallow with other boys in our rescue so that he can have friends during his time with us. To address his overly nippy, aggressive nature and stress towards hands in his cage, he will be receiving a hormonal implant very soon. For the time being, he can be adopted as a solo boy if you already have boys that he can join. He has already been successfully integrated with an older rat and it went very smoothly!

The moms of these adorable baby rats are the Bridge girls who got their name after someone dumped them and their brothers together under a bridge In Meaford. They were doing great once we took them in and were almost done their quarantine when out popped a bunch of babies and turns out all 5 girls were pregnant! This is one of the reasons quarantine is so important and we're glad they had their babies with us before going to the homes we had lined up for them. There were 52 babies total so we needed lots of homes for them all!

The moms and their babies are super friendly, social, and curious, making them perfect companions❤️ These 3 boys are the last of all their brothers to get adopted, they are being fostered in Hamilton.

Baby boy Qiji was spotted roaming around in a backyard in Acton. He had been miraculously surviving in the scary outdoors for 3 weeks before a very caring couple captured him in a trap and brought him inside to safety. Despite not having any prior experience with rats, they knew right away little Qiji was not a wild rat, but a domestic rat in danger! We named him Qiji, 'miracle' in Mandarin, because his survival and resilience truly is a miracle 💕. He right away fully trusted humans, and is such a wonderful, cuddly boy. Based on his size, we estimate he is no older than 3 months.
