No Wait List
We do not maintain a wait list and see no need for one. Please follow these steps to adopt:

Sign Up for Our Mailer
Join our mailing list to receive announcements about new litters. Once a litter is announced, act quickly—our babies are adopted fast! We process adoptions based on the order of contact after the mailer is sent, following a first-come, first-served policy.

The Application is for Specific Rats
If you’re interested in specific babies, request an application. You can reply directly to the mailer, or send a separate email. Please refrain from requesting an application when no rats are listed for adoption, as I need for the application to be for specific babies.

Approval Process
Once your application is approved, I will mark the rats as reserved until pick-up. Afterwards, you'll need to review our payment information and policies on the website. I’ll then ask you to fill out and email the contract, which you’ll find in the same email that contained your application link. Please wait for my request before sending it.

Setting Up Pick-Up
Once I have received your completed contract, we can schedule your pick-up appointment. Please email me to arrange this final step.

Communication Tips
To ensure smooth communication, please stick to one email thread when contacting me. Frequent new threads can lead to lost messages and delays. Once your adoption is approved, we can continue working within that thread.

Go Home Dates
The go-home dates are listed at the top of the nursery page.

Pick-Up Appointments
Please contact me to schedule your pick-up appointment; my available hours are located at the bottom of the website. I will not reach out to you for this.

Weather Considerations
If you're picking up babies in cool or cold weather, please bring a cover for your carrier. Without it, I cannot allow the rats to go home, as it poses a serious risk to their health.

Thank you for your understanding!
 

Adoption Application Review Process

At Camarattery, we're committed to ensuring the best possible outcome for both our adopted rats and their new owners. To achieve this, we carefully review each adoption application to ensure that it aligns with our mission and values.

Essential Readiness

Before submitting an application, we recommend thoroughly reviewing the information on our website and contract. A thorough understanding of these terms is crucial, as it sets the foundation for a successful and enjoyable experience for both you and your new rat companions. If we determine that you haven't taken the time to review this essential information, your application may be denied. This website does provide you with the information to set you up for success on your application. But you will need to read our info before you apply.

Prioritizing Animal Welfare

Our top priority is the well-being and safety of our adopted rats. We're dedicated to providing them with a loving and nurturing environment, and we expect the same from our adopters. If your application indicates that you're not prepared or willing to provide proper care and housing for your new pets, it may be denied.

Positive Adoption Experience

Our goal is to support you in your journey into rat ownership and create a positive experience for both you and your new companions. We expect all applicants to treat others with respect and kindness. If we receive an application from someone who consistently displays disrespectful behavior or abusive tendencies, we will not approve the request.

Final Decision

Please be assured that our decision regarding adoption applications is final. We're committed to making informed decisions that align with our values and mission. By working together, we can create a harmonious and enjoyable experience for all parties involved.

Remember, adopting a pet rat is a significant responsibility, but it can also bring immense joy and fulfillment. Let's work together to ensure the best possible outcome for both you and your new furry friends!
