This adoption form must be fully filled out and emailed to [email protected] before you will be considered for adoption of our rats. Simply highlight the form, and paste it into the body of your e-mail or Facebook message, then you may fill it out. If questions or answers are missing, you will be denied. If you are under 18, you need to have your parent or guardian complete the form for you. If any information is found to be false, or we don't feel comfortable, we have the right to deny an adoption. Sweet Whispers Rattery has been grateful enough to allow us the use of her adoption form, some questions have been adjusted to fit our rattery.
