#ratrescue

Hello everyone!

The Ottawa Pet Rat Rescue 2022 calendar is here.

As usual, we have compiled some lovely photos for our annual Rescue calendar along with some stories of the rats who currently live at the Rescue or have been adopted through the Rescue.

Each calendar is $20 - all of the funds we raise go right back towards vet costs, food, fabric, and bedding to help more rescue rats.

If you would like to purchase a calendar for yourself or a rat-loving friend, please message us or send us an email at [email protected]

Calendars can be picked up in person near Lee Valley Tools (Pinecrest & Greenbank - Ottawa), near Lansdowne (Ottawa), or in Gloucester (Ottawa).

Calendars can also be shipped to your door:
Please add $3.65 for shipping within Canada.
Please add $7.00 for shipping within the United States (except Alaska)

Please contact us for a quote to ship your calendar anywhere else in the world.

You can send us funds in cash,
OR E-Transfer to [email protected]
OR visit our donate page www.ottawaratrescue.com/donate and use the PayPal button.

Thank you so much for your support! We (the humans and especially the ratties) really appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Oprats

Meet Lulu and Harvey. Two lone rats, who found love and company with each other. Lulu had recently lost her sister, while Harvey was a lone male transferred to the Rescue from the Brampton SPCA (along with 13 others) who had been part of a seizure. After being neutered and many attempts to introduce Harvey to other rats, we decided what Harvey really needed, were some girlfriends.

After just 2 weeks, Harvey and Lulu are now like two peas in a pod: inseparable.

Rats are extremely social beings. And just like us, they really need a friend. We just have to help them find the right one :)

Smudgy faces. <3 

This concerns me enormously.

Can I help you?

There’s always that one sibling…

We love these sweet boys.

It’s okay - the holidays make me want to sleep, too!

Little angel rat Abby.

Room for one more?

Five rambunctious boys - quadruple the fun!

Personal hygiene is of great importance.

Rats are pure magic.

This little man says hello. What a handsome guy!

Happy Hump Day!

Check out this wonderful piece of watercolour art the very talented Eleanor Stewart made for her sister. We just love it!

You know you’re tired when… you fall asleep with food in your mouth!

Snuggle buds for life.

Kernel and Major J. Hill! Two pretty girls enjoying a chilled out life with their human mom.

That face you make when your Mom wakes you up…

Ratties enjoy digging and playing in dirt! 

(Always make sure the plants are non-toxic for them first.)

Can squish into small spaces. :)

These babies are all grown up!

Peanut - the most fearless and curious little rat soul that ever was!

Have a great weekend and remember to spend lots of time with your loved ones!

Tis the season for chunky knits :) 

Abby would like to wish you all a Happy Thursday on this lovely fall day!

Brothers by birth, best friends by choice.

Lentil party!
