Our Adoption Process

 We provide Pet Quality Rats to Approved Adopters.

Filling out our Adoption Application is the first step in our Adoption Process. 

​

Once approved, pictures of available babies will be reviewed/future litters will be discussed. Any litters in the “Available Babies” album have already been evaluated and approved as Pet Quality for pet homes only. All of our rats that have been adopted out/will be adopted out are under a strict no-breeding contract

Unless express consent was given and an agreement was made.

​

- We do not adopt out to minors under the age of 18. We require a parent/guardian to fill out the Application, sign our Contract and be present during pick-up.

​

- We price our rats based on time, money, and effort invested into our lines. Those prices reflect our blood, sweat, and tears. Therefore, they are non-negotiable

 

- Rats are adopted out in same sex pairs, only. If the adopter has rats currently, we encourage pairs or more, as they need 3-4 weeks to quarantine before introductions.

We aren't comfortable allowing baby rats to sit in quarantine alone. The quarantine process is a mandatory policy and if our instructions are not followed, that will void our contract/health guarantee.

​

- We do not "breed to order". We breed and pair rats based on temperament, personal goals, conformation, or whatever our reasons may be. 

​

- We operate as a "Closed Rattery", meaning we do not allow anyone into our home.

This helps keep our babies safe from unwanted viruses or diseases.

 We post updated pictures of all available babies and they are uploaded on Facebook and this website. This is how you will select your babies. 

​

- A 50% non-refundable deposit will be required to reserve babies or hold rats that cannot be picked up immediately. A deposit is only refunded if we need to back out of the sale, for any reason. Balances must be paid in full at pick-up in cash, or at pick-up by PayPal. The adoption price of the rats will be decided prior to reservation.

​

- Ready to "go home" dates will be posted on our Facebook page. Once your reserved rat is available for pick-up, it must be picked up within 1 week of reservation or you will forfeit your deposit and your rats will be placed elsewhere. It is the responsibility of the adopter to make transportation arrangements for the retrieval of their rats. 

We do not deliver rats and we are not obligated to do so. 

​

- If the adopter can no longer care for their rats or needs to re-home them, for any reason, the rats MUST be returned to our Rattery. It is the responsibility of the adopter/owner to arrange transportation of the rats back to our Rattery. In special circumstances, transportation will be arranged with the adopter.

​

- We do not take in rescues, of any kind. Please contact a local rescue for aide in these situations. 

 

 

We take our adoptions very seriously and want to see our babies go to the best homes possible. If you have any questions or concerns about our policies, please reach out!

We are not trying to be intimidating in any way. 

We truly care about the safety of our rats and you.

​

Thank you for taking the time to read our policies.

If you agree with our policies, you're more than welcome to fill out an Adoption Application and send us a message or an e-mail.

We would be happy to help you find the best fitting rats for your home.
