Annabelle 💔. Our little miracle girl. At 3 years and 3 months old, and 8 months after pituitary tumor diagnosis, she joined her sisters in her next life. Annie Bananie had a peaceful and wonderful end to a great story. Although we are devastated and will miss her quirky presence, her life has been nothing but great. She was one of our original founding members, came to us with 5 others as someone’s accidental litter at the age of 6-7 months. Her and her sisters Quinn, Roo, Maggie, Luna, and Nora, lived out the rest of their lives here at the rescue. They never knew pain or hardship, only love and fun. They had their own room with full free roam for a year, before moving into the main rat room with everyone else. Then for the last 9 months of Annie’s life, her (and Nora and Luna before they passed) got to live a life of luxury in Frankie’s room, how special. I loved getting to share that special sacred space with other rats ❤️🐁. Bromocriptine allowed her to surpass our wildest expectations of life with a brain tumor, giving her about 8-9 months of additional symptom free life, when the typical is only up to 3-6months if you’re lucky. Annabelle was incredibly lucky. Her symptoms finally came back a week before she passed, and though steroids improved things a little bit, she slowly left us. She didn’t stop exploring though, and this beach trip was taken in that last week, where she enjoyed stumbling around in the sand and sniffing the cool clean air of Georgian Bay. We will cherish the many great memories we have of you sweet girl, and of all your sisters too ❤️. Love you Annie Bananie 🍌, Always Always ❤️🌈🐁. .

😂 Priceless. This went on for a good 10-15min. Hope pulls it in, Vera throws it out… Vera gets annoyed and leaves, Hope FILLS the hut with material, has a snack, then a nap, very proud of her accomplishments. Vera, watching as Hope lounges in what is supposed to be the shared hut 🛖. Oh rats ❤️🥲. In moments like this, I really love my life and that I get to spend it with these awesome, hilarious critters 🐁💕 🐀. . .COMMENT if you have any funny stories to share about your critters!

Hello rat loving friends. I’m looking for FEEDBACK from anyone who has ever had a LESS THAN IDEAL (to put it nicely) experience at a CERTAIN CLINIC that shall not be named (if you know, you know). I’ve had enough of the overwhelming number of absolute horror stories, and people terrified to go there even when sadly they’re often the only exotics vet open for emergencies/after hours. People are constantly bringing me their rats because they’d do anything before ever going back to that clinic, and it’s not ok. I’m going to anonymously compile stories and present them to the owner and pressure them to do something and be accountable to their clients. For YEARS, the care has been quite blatantly insensitive, not clinically appropriate, neglectful, and often damaging to an already sick rodent. You can email me your stories at [email protected]
Thank you 🙏 ❤️🐁🐀.

If you find a turtle in Ontario, CALL THEM! They are super helpful! I found one yesterday! Turtles are very resilient, so please always check to see if they’re alive even if it looks like they may not be. They can come back from A LOT! Even with organs outside their shells, they can often recover. So be prepared, always have gloves and a box in your car in case you find one!!

Attention everyone! We unfortunately have a lost bird to report. George the African grey parrot went missing on Monday May 6th around 6 p.m. from the area of Kennedy Road and Bur Oak Avenue in Markham. George is nine-years-old and very friendly. If you see George, please call 416-400-1726 or 416-806-1708. Let's help get George back home to his family!

Rat Fosters Needed!!!

Toronto. KW. Port Elgin. Owen Sound. Niagara. Hamilton. And surrounding areas.

We’re almost there!!! We are ten foster homes short.
The first batch of rats are coming this week. We would love to get a good chunk of them out before we work on the next intake. We really don’t want many of them to wait a long time to feel safe and loved in foster care.

If you would like to foster, adopt or donate to their care please reach out to us at:

[email protected]

Please keep sharing everywhere. Rat groups. Animal rescue groups. Local community and vegan groups.

We could not do what we do without all you magical creatures. Thanks to all of our All Creatures Rescue friends hundreds of animals will be saved this year.

For the love of rat,
ACR Crew

🐾 I received my 1st fawn call of the season today. This little fawn is just fine. PLEASE:
- Keep your dogs on a leash
- If you see a fawn alone, back away. Mom leaves them alone so her scent doesn't attract predators to her baby. But she is nearby. She will leave them alone for up to 10 hours in between feedings for 2 weeks until they are strong enough to follow her.
** BUT**
If the fawn is walking around crying bleeding or flat out laying on its side then call us immediately. 519-777-6440
- PLEASE refrain from using fireworks during the month of May for the sake of our baby wildlife and their mothers. 🐾

Sometimes we have special needs animals, shy animals, or just “plain” looking animals come through our rescue. These little ones tend to sit for months or even years.

While the animals in our rescue always have their needs met, we desperately wish that every adoptable animal could find a forever home with stability.

When you adopt through a rescue, not only do you give a pet a second chance, you also open a space for another to be saved.

All Creatures Rescue Friends!!!

While we scramble to place hundreds of rats (keep your eyes on our page for some exciting updates) and continue to look for foster homes (we're still over a dozen short) may we suggest you kindly head over to our cousins at Ladybird Animal Sanctuary and check out two rats that have had no one inquire about them: Sapphire and Suki! They are a bit shy (which tugs at our hearts) and could use a forever family before summer time arrives!

Head over to their profile at:

It’s our anniversary! 2 years ago, our president Mariah founded Frankie’s World, on the adoptaversary of her little soul mate, and it has grown to be a hugely successful organization that we’re all super proud of. We’ve rescued close to 600 rats, have had around 100 permanent sanctuary residents, and 442 adoptions to date. We have expanded to now having 2 locations, and we’re the largest rat rescue in the country (and maybe anywhere 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️). We’ll be sharing some more stats and things we’ve been up to and planning throughout the week 🐁😀.

🏡 ADOPTION ALERT ‼️. Another 3 of Scarlets super hero named daughters have found their forever home! They are going to live with a lovely woman who has also signed up to foster with us! Yay! This is her first time having girl rats, and she’s very excited! Girls tend to be a different experience then boys, more energetic, outgoing, and independent versus the slower lazy cuddliness of boys. We’re so happy all these girls got snatched up real quick and didn’t have to spend much time at the rescue! Have a great life ladies! .

🚨🐢WATCH FOR TURTLES!🐢🚨
Be on the lookout for Turtles while driving this spring season. We have begun to get our first “Hit by Vehicle” admissions to the hospital this week. That means they’re on the move!
Turtles are most likely to be crossing roads near wetlands, but they can also appear where you least expect it. If it is safe and you are able to, help them cross to the other side (the direction they are facing). It isn’t egg laying season just yet so they shouldn’t be trying to nest on the shoulders of the roads.
As always, if you find an INJURED Turtle give us a call at 705-741-5000. Our hospital hours are currently 9am-5pm 7 days a week. If you’re waiting for us to respond, record the location of where you found the Turtle, put it into a DRY container with air holes, do NOT give it water or food, and keep it at room temperature until either you can get it to us or a Turtle Taxi driver can acquire the Turtle from you! You must have the Turtle in your possession for us to send a driver to pick it up.
Thank you for being on the lookout! 🫡 💚🐢

🏡 ADOPTION ALERT ‼️. The first of Scarlets super hero named boys are getting adopted today! These two fellas will be joining an older solo male since his cagemate passed away 😞. They are going to a lovely home where two wonderful guys will be their new humans. Their old fella is apparently very paternalistic and will LOVE having babies with him again. I can’t wait to hear about how they help bring him new life in his older days ❤️. Congrats boys! .

With Easter just a few days away…Please know that a Rabbit's life span is 10+ years. Sadly in the months following Easter, Shelters and Rabbit Rescues will see drastic increases of bunnies being dumped. This Easter pick chocolate or stuffed toys to give as gifts. Bunnies and Baby Chicks are NOT gifts! 🐰🐥
