Pet Rat Adoptions Ontario

---

SPECIAL HOME NEEDED for a group of 7 two year old girls. They have been together their whole lives and must be adopted together. 

These ladies have lots of health problems that ARE MANAGEABLE but need a very special human who is able to give that extra level of care to them so they can have the best life possible despite what's been thrown at them. 

All girls are extremely friendly and easy to handle, Cleo is a little bit shy, but the rest are super sweet and social . Even if someone can’t commit to adopting them, but if somebody within an hour or an hour and a half radius of the Parry Sound location who would want to be there forever Foster, we would be happy to cover the cost of their medication‘s and any medical care they might need, as well as provide dental trims for Serenity, if somebody can provide them a loving home where they will get far more attention then they’ll get it the rescue.

These girls were surrendered at the end of July 2025 by a woman whose asthma got too severe to care for them anymore. 

Bella, had a mammary tumour removed when she arrived at the rescue. She had some complications with anaemia due to the lice that she had when she arrived at the rescue, and some postoperative nosebleeds, but she has stabilized and is healing very well. 

Two of the other females have tumours as well, Cleo has quite a large one that seems like it’s probably not operable because of its very large size already. One of the other girls has a smaller tumour that we’re looking at having removed before she is ready for adoption. All of these girls who have either had their tumours removed, or currently have tumors, are on a medication called cabergoline which they will need every three days for the rest of their life to prevent a recurrence of the mammary tumors, and to prevent/delay onset of pituitary tumors, which are a type of brain tumour that’s extremely common and Rats, the most common cause of death in rats. So it’s very important that whoever adopts them is experienced in rat care, is experienced in administering medication through a syringe, and can commit to supporting them and providing them the medication and the care that they need for the rest of their lives. 

One of the additional girls, Penelope, had a respiratory infection when she got to the rescue and is being treated and doing very well. 

Serenity, one of the black hooded girls has malocclusion of her teeth, so she will need trims every one to two weeks for the rest of her life. If you’re interested in adopting this group, you will need to find a local veterinarian who is able to trim the teeth for you, or if you live close enough to the Parry Sound location of the rescue, we are happy to provide complementary tooth trims as long as you can bring her to us for them every 1-2 weeks. 

They come with a double Critter Nation cage and all of their supplies that were donated along with their Surrender.

SPECIAL HOME NEEDED - These girls were a group of 3 when they arrived but sadly they suddenly lost one of their sisters soon after settling at the rescue. They are as sweet as can be but are way more difficult to home as they both require lifetime medication in hopes to control and slow benign tumour growth. They have both had tumour removal surgery but are at a high risk of developing future tumours or pituitary tumours. If you can be a special home willing to give daily medication then these girls will give you their entire lifetime worth of love and affection!

 Dolly (golden), and Bridgette (grey) are a pair of laidback rats who love snuggling in hanging baskets, getting treats and head scratches from hands, and poking their heads out at any moment to say hello when they spot you. Lucy in particular with her quirky slight head tilt (the result of a previous ear infection, totally benign now) will always come up to the cage doors to greet you, begging to come out and play. They enjoy digging for treats in a ping pong ball pit and inspecting every square inch of your home during free roam time. Lucy and Bridgette have small benign mammary masses which require bromocriptine doses once a day to keep them small. Dolly will need to be given this by syringe as she hates the taste, but we are working with her so she becomes more accustomed to the quick process. Please consider giving these three uber friendly, bubbly girls the forever home they're looking for! 

Mushroom (black hooded), Noodle (brown hooded), Soup (grey dumbo). 

These girls are 1.5 years old, surrendered to the rescue by someone whose roommate moved away and left them behind. The sweetest Girls ever, super social, super gentle and sweet, extremely easy to handle, the perfect pets. The only special note is noodle had surgery two weeks ago to remove a benign MAMMARY tumor. These tumours are very common and female rats as they age. She did extremely well with her surgery and her bandage will come off very soon. She is on a medication called cabergoline to help prevent the recurrence of any tumors, as well as to try and prevent or slow the onset/development of any pituitary tumours in the future. If you'd like to give these amazing and friendly girls a home, you would

need to be prepared to continue to give her this medication daily, for life. If you have any questions about it please do ask and we're happy to talk to you about it! 

There 4 girls were surrendered to us through no fault of their own. The owners current situation didn't allow them to remain. Here's what they shared with us about these 4 girls!

The four Marvelous girls. These girls have been part of the family since they were 6 months old. Scarlett and Skye are the closest as they were brought in together at the same time. Sable and Sage were added shortly after and are close. They are all around the ages of 2 years old. They all have Marvel styled names as we are Marvel fans. 

Here’s some info on each one…

Scarlett: brown colour. She’s very calm. Easiest to handle. Loves treats. 

Skye: grey and white colour. A bit shy but will warm up to you. She loves to rip up boxes or toys.

Sable: black and white colour. She's usually aware of everything going on. Doesn't like being touched much. She will let you touch her and give treats. 

Sage: white colour. Most timid of all. She's adventurous. Does like treats. 

These girls must be adopted as a group of 4.

Dove, Diamond and Daisy are 3 sisters who were Born October 2024 in a backyard in Huntsville. Former owners were unknown to us. They were being bred for pet food and when their landlord evicted them, they got upset that they were being evicted and released their pet rats outside. 3 litters were had, and all the moms, dad, and babies have found homes except for these ladies! They didn't have a great start to life but are Very social, friendly, outgoing and would make lovely pets for anyone of any experience level. 

These wonderful young black furred girls have been looking for homes for over 8 months now! They came from someone with good intentions of rescuing them from a bad situation, but who sadly didn't recognize her limits, and was not able to properly care for them either. We recommend a patient household that is willing to provide these girls with consistency and lots of love. They were not socialized well as babies and are still learning how to interact with people (though they do not nip!), but they’re doing amazing so far. They have already improved so much and we know with the right home and attention they will come out of their shells and learn to trust people.

Remi and her 7 daughters were surrendered to the rescue through no fault of their own. They were born in March 2025 and are looking for forever homes in at least pairs. They have been handled since coming to our foster and are all super sweet and friendly!
