Basic Adoption Policy
We ask for a realistic donation of a minimum €15-€35 (depends on the animals length of stay/vet care etc) per animal. There are also starter packages that start from €55-€65. This all goes towards the upkeep of the animals in our care i.e. shampoo, food, bedding, advertising and vets bills. Some Rodents that arrive in very poor condition and need months of loving care before they are ready to be rehomed.
