ADOPTION | Coiled Whisker Crittery

You must be 18 years of age or older, or have a legal guardian's consent, to adopt from us.
We reserve the right to deny the sale of an animal for any reason.
I do not use a waitlist - due to dwarf rats having smaller litters, and I produce only a few litters a year, rats are available on a first-come first-serve basis. When rats become available they will be posted on the Available page. Litters ready for reservation prior to being ready to go home will be marked as such on the Current Litters page.
Pups are sold in same-sex pairs or more only. Rats are incredibly social and require the company of at least one other companion. I always recommend groupings of 3+ where possible.
Reservations can be made when pups are 6 weeks old at the earliest. Adoptions can be completed when pups are at least 10 weeks old.
I will never knowingly adopt out a rat(s) who is of ill health.
Adoption is pick-up only. I do not perform deliveries or offer shipping at this time.
CWC operates as a closed crittery. For the health and safety of my animals, I cannot accommodate visitors inside my residence.

Rats become available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
When you have decided which rats you'd like to reserve, complete an adoption application.
A 50% non-refundable deposit on all reservations. After receiving your application, I will contact you within 24-48 hours with payment options and to arrange pick-up.
Adopters must bring their own appropriate transport carrier/habitat for their new rats.
Payment is required in full prior to pick-up.
All adopters will receive a birth certificate for each rat, a care sheet, and a blank copy of the adoption contract for their own records.
