Adoption Information and Fees

 

Adoption Information & Fees

 

Thank you for your interest in adopting from StormHaven Rattery. Please review the following policies and pricing information carefully before submitting an application.

​

Application Requirements

​

• All pet homes must complete a Pet Adoption Application.

• Individuals seeking rats for breeding must complete the Breeder Adoption Application.

• We reserve the right to approve or deny any application at our discretion.

 

All approved adopters — both pet and breeder homes — are required to review, agree to, and sign an Adoption Contract and Waiver prior to taking their rats home.

​

• Applications are valid for six months.

• Returning adopters who are in good standing do not need to submit a new application, regardless of how much time has passed; however,

• A new contract and waiver must still be signed for each adoption.

Housing Requirements

Adopters must provide proof of an appropriate cage setup prior to pickup, unless purchasing a temporary cage from StormHaven Rattery.

​

Placement Policies

• Pet, breeding, and show rats are never placed as feeders.

• Rats are placed in same-sex pairs at minimum for companionship.

• Rats are placed as pets only, unless written breeding approval is granted.

• Mixed genders are not placed in pet homes. (For example, if adopting males, all rats adopted must be male.)

• If at any time you are unable to care for your rats, they must be returned to StormHaven Rattery.

 

These policies are in place to ensure the lifelong well-being of every rat produced here.

 

Deposits & Payments

 

A $50 non-refundable deposit per rat is required to place a hold.

​

• Deposits are non-refundable if you change your mind for any reason.

• Any payments made are non refundable if you change your mind for any reason.

• If you change your mind and decide to go ahead with your adoption any deposits and payments will be used on said adoption if it within the adoption time frame.

• Just incase your mind is changed we will hold your chosen rats until pickup day, after that they will be adopted out with no refunds due to our holding them for you.
