Surrendering Chinchillas

• Case by case basis (due to space and supplies)
• Chinchillas need to be surrendered with all supplies
• Once the chinchilla has been surrendered, you relinquish all ownership of the animal and they become the property of Kathy's Chinchillas.
• There is a $25 surrender fee to cover the basic needs of the chinchilla during its stay here. Adoption fee will be applied to vet costs. 
• I have a private home and for the protection of my family and my animals, I do not allow "tours" of my chinchilla room. Breeding chins and rescue chins are kept separate from each other. I DO NOT BREED RESCUES.
• We request that you also tell us everything you know about the animal (color, age, gender, personality) We will have a better chance at rehoming with this information.
• Please fill out the "I would like to surrender my chinchilla" application located below. 
• I do not and will not pay/buy for your chinchilla under any circumstance. Please think before you decide to let go of your animal. ​

 Adopting Rescue Chinchillas

• I will not adopt out to anyone under the age of 18 without parent consent.
• Adopted rescue/surrendered chinchillas DO NOT COME WITH ANY HEALTH GUARANTEE. We do try our best to make sure they are healthy, but because we do not know their genetics and history most of the time- there is no way for us to offer a guarantee. 
• I will not adopt out to anyone who intends to breed or home a chinchilla with another chinchilla of opposite sex. These are ALL pet quality.
• ~I will not accept appointments that show up more than 20 minutes late. I will allow only allow a one-time reschedule with a 24 hour notice. I understand traffic happens, so I am more than willing to be accommodating as long as you keep me updated via text/call/email/FB messenger. 
• The reservation fee is $20 and must be paid prior to pick up. This is to prevent no-shows. The $20 will go towards the adoption fee. 
• There is a 1 week grace period between the time reservation is placed and pick up. There will be a $5 boarding fee per day after the 1 week grace period is past. 
• We require a picture of your cage set up to assure that it is adequate and safe for the chinchilla. No chinchilla will go home before we confirm that your set up is safe.
• All adoption sales are final, but if for any reason you cannot keep the chinchilla anymore- you must return them to Kathy's Chinchillas.
• Each chinchilla comes with 1lb of feed and 1lb of hay cubes
• Please fill out the "I would like to adopt" application for any available rescues/surrenders
• Adoption fees: Standard grays $65 and all other mutations are $65-100
