There is a rat rescue in Barrie Ontario if she is willing to go that far. The rescue is called Mumsy Rat Rescue. She makes trips to the GTA sometimes so it could work out. I will get the e-mail for your friend---- [email protected]

She is very nice, I have met her before and loves rats very much and seems good at finding them homes.

I wish I could take them myself but my parents would never go for it hehe.
