Small animal adoption Policy

All you need to know about applying to adopt a small animal

 

Rabbits 

Adoption Fee - £35

 

We like to adopt rabbits as pairs or to be part of a pair, unless they have an aggressive temperament towards other rabbits.

The individual needs of each rabbit/s will be specified in their write up on the main adoption page.

For advice and requirements needed for rabbits, please ensure you read all the information on this link before applying to adopt more about Rabbits from the RSPCA.

Our adoption fee for rabbits include neutering, microchipping and full vaccinations.

 

Guinea Pigs

Adoption Fee - £20

 

As with rabbits, we like to adopt Guinea Pigs in pairs or to be part of a pair. For a pair of Guinea Pigs we ask that you have a minimum hutch size of 6ft long x 2ft wide x 2ft high. Learn more about Guinea Pigs from the RSPCA.

Our guinea pigs adoption fee includes neutering when appropriate.

PLEASE NOTE: We always hate to turn down an offer of a home, however if we do, please bear in mind that we have done it with the best interest of the animal in mind. We have often nursed the animals in our care back to health or have seen them traumatised by being discarded and had to work hard to regain their trust. We could not bear to put the animal into a home which we didn’t feel was right for it long term, and rightly or wrongly we would rather upset the person than the animal. It is not a reflection on your home, it just means we don’t feel it’s the perfect match for that specific animal. We hope you will understand.
