Thinking About Adopting From FaryTail Rattery? Please Read!
Thank you for your interest in FaryTail Rattery! I love helping my rats find wonderful homes, but before inquiring about available rats, there are a few important things every potential adopter needs to know.
Adoption Requirements:
All potential adopters must be 18 years of age or older and complete an adoption application.
Please read the entire website before applying!
Rats must be adopted in pairs or more, and I only place rats in same-sex homes.
I require proof of a fully set-up cage, including bedding, hammocks, and toys. Photos must include a piece of paper with your name and the current date.
Rats are not placed as gifts for children, and I do not place rats in homes with children under five. Please review my full policies for additional household restrictions.
Adoption Fees & Payment:
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your rats.
The remaining balance must be paid before the rats are handed over.
Venmo is currently my only accepted payment method.
Adoption fees vary depending on the rat's variety, breeding line, and age. Please review the pricing page for details.
Pickup & Meetups:
I am located in Hilliard, Ohio, and currently offer pickup only.
Public meetups may be available within approximately 30 minutes to an hour of my location, when possible.
A gas fee may apply to meetups and will be discussed beforehand.
You must bring a suitable, secure travel carrier. No carrier means no rats will be released.
Existing Rats & Quarantine:
If you already have rats, you must have a separate quarantine or hospital cage ready. A minimum two-week quarantine is required before introducing new rats to your existing mischief.
Returns & Lifetime Responsibility:
If you can no longer keep your rats, please contact me. I will take them back or help you find another suitable home if returning them is not possible. Refunds are limited and subject to my refund and return policy.
Closed Rattery:
FaryTail Rattery is a closed rattery operated from my home. For the safety of my family, my other animals, and my rats, I do not allow visitors inside to view the animals.
A Few Final Things While I do my best to raise friendly, well-socialized rats, every rat is an individual. Personalities may change as they settle into a new environment. If you experience biting or serious temperament concerns, please contact me so we can discuss the situation.
Interested in adopting?
Please take the time to read through my website before applying. Understanding my policies helps ensure that both you and your future rats are set up for success!
A link to the full policies and website will be posted in the comments. Please read everything carefully before sending an application or inquiry.
Thank you for supporting FaryTail Rattery and for helping my rats find safe, loving homes!
