You will be required to fill out and sign a pet contract (below) when adopting a Remis Rat. Please copy the Adoption Application and email it to me when you're ready to adopt!
Additional Guidelines:
**some of my guidelines can be exempted under certain circumstances. Please feel free to ask.
- You must be 18+ to adopt a rat. If not, your parents will be present at the adoption.
- I will not adopt out single rats, unless you have other similarly-aged (same sex) rats already.
- I will only adopt out same-sex pairs, unless one is spayed/neutered PRIOR to leaving my house.
- Rats on a "Pet Quality" contract will not be bred.
- I reserve the right to refuse adoption to any person, for any reason that I deem appropriate. This includes cancelling reservations on rats.
- I will deliver rats to the following locations, weather permitting, if reimbursed for gas.
- Twin Falls, ID
- La Grande, OR
- Pocatello, ID
- McCall, ID
- Ontario, OR
- Possibly others, just ask!
- Rats are also able to be delievered to Seattle & Portland around shows (no extra charge for gas)
- Manx Rats- see information here.
- NOTE: I operate a Closed Rattery, which means I do not allow visitors to my home, to prevent my rats from getting viruses, etc. It is a common safety measure that most ratteries follow. I will be happy to meet you somewhere when it is time to pick up your baby. I like the Krispy Kreme in Meridian- gives me an excuse to go there!!! :)
-
Curly Whiskers Rattery and I do quite a bit of breeding together (since we are the only two breeders in Idaho), though we are separate ratteries. We are also good friends. The following issues have become somewhat of a problem lately, so in the interest of our sanity, I'm going to address them here.
-
Please don't reserve rats from both of us, then cancel one at the last minute. In addition to being poor ettiquite, it leaves us with rats we could've adopted out, but were reserved for you. If we discover that you are reserving rats from both of us, we will contact you and ask you to chose. We reserve the right to pull your reservation without notice.
-
You have every right to change your mind, but please be honest with us. Really, we don't bite. If you are going to cancel reservations, sooner is better than later. It gives us a chance to find these babies a good home.
