Approved List I keep a list of people I have approved to adopt rattys from me. You may go to this link and apply if you wish to be added to the list: http://happygoratty.com/adopt. Being on this list means you are able to get rattys from here, it does not keep an order of who gets rats when. Reservations will be on a first come/first serve basis. A deposit must be made via PayPal within a day of choosing your ratty in order for me to reserve the ratty for you.
Deposits Deposits are to be paid via PayPal. Deposits are NON-refundable, and is half of the fee of the rat(s). At time of pick up, the remainder of the fee is due in cash, no personal checks. For example: if you are wanting to adopt standard 2 rats at $20 each. The deposit is $20 and then $20 at time of pick up.
Reservation Rats posted as available are ready to go home or soon to be ready to go home. One you have reserved your ratty via the PayPal payment we will discuss best time of pick up. If I am holding a rat longer than one week, after they are ready to go home, and I have not heard from you to schedule a pickup time, then the deposit will be forfeited and the rat will become available again. I know things can come up and am willing to work with you depending on the situation as long as you contact with me and let me know what's going on.
Pick Up I don't allow adopters to come to my house, this is for the safety of my family and my rats. There have been cases of other ratteries being robbed etc and it also keeps the rattys safe from outside zoonotic diseases. Please be on time for the pick up and bring an appropriate sized carrier to take your ratty(s) home in.
.After Adoption I like to maintain contact with adopters to see how the rattys are doing and to see if there are any health or temperament concerns about the rat(s). This helps me continue to improve my lines and gives me a chance to help guide you through any questions you may have in the future. I am also always available if you have questions about your rattys at any point in their life:)
