Mr. Chico has been discharged from the hospital and is feeling pretty good! He came to us on Sunday from a shelter and is said to have been treated badly in the past. We accepted him due to his need for urgent medical attention. Chico went straight to the hospital when he arrived. He had bloody urine, and blood around his genitals. He was sedated, x-rays were taken, and it was discovered that he also had an abscess on his shoulder.
While sedated, the vet drained his abscess. He is taking 2 medications now, we’re hopeful his shoulder will heal up quickly, and that this will take care of the bloody urine issue. If not, he will return for some more tests. He’s a cute, spunky and chunky dude! |

This trio is lively, and sadly terrified. They've been granted permanent sanctuary so they can finally have some stability while they work through their trust issues. We're excited to get to know their personalities, and to help them learn how safe and wonderful spoiled rat-life can be. Stay tuned for updates!

Mixy | 2 years | dark with white blaze
Aya | 1.5 years | white with gray face These two precious girls were brought to us by Freedom Drivers from a Quebec shelter. Before this, they came from a home with too many rats. They both arrived with parasites & poor body condition. Mixy also came in with a broken leg & overgrown teeth. Thankfully, her leg is healing & she can now put a bit of weight on it, though it may never be the same. She also had her teeth trimmed while sedated & is feeling much better. This duo is super friendly & explorative. They’ll be staying with us for the remainder of their lives, & we’re sure they’ll love it here *Updated April 19/2024 |

Riddle | large white marking on face | spayed female | 1 year
Jolene | small white marking on face | spayed female | 1 year Ferrari | agouti | unaltered male | 10 months old “Jolene has warmed up a lot more since she's been here, she is equally as curious as Riddle and really likes to play. When I scratch her bum to get her going she races around and always comes back for more. When she's tired out she likes to find a place in my sweater or right above my head on the couch and just relax. Riddle is a handful in the best way possible, she loves to climb and explore. She was the first one of the bunch that was ready to go and see every corner of the room. I don't think I've ever seen her get tired during free roam time she's always on the go and ready to play. The two of them when they're together is so adorable, they'll play and chase each other around. When they're not playing they're always curled up next to each other Ferrari is still a bit timid but has been enjoying the bonding scarf when he's out and about he's exploring, doesn't seem like a climber (yet). Jolene and Ferrari seem to cuddle the most right now.” *updated March 9/2024 |

These 2 girls came through a shelter dealing with a hoarding case of 70+ rats. We're happy to say that introductions were successful. They still need to come around to humans, so we are working on understanding their behaviours, and with socialization at their pace. We have offered these girls permanent sanctuary due to their behavioural needs.
