Adoption Policy
The chinchillas posted to this website are from Cali_FID Parrot and Exotics Rescue Sanctuary unless otherwise specified in their "about me" sections. So unless otherwise specified, the chinchillas Adopted here with Let's Love Chinchillas + Cali_FID will need to go through Cali_FID's adoption process.
These animals have been placed in the care of qualified foster homes, so arranging adoptions takes time and patients so we can coordinate with fosters and adopters. The animals are safe in their foster homes, and the rescue will provide all the care these animals need until homes are found. We are not in need to "get rid" of any of our Chinchillas, so please do not contact us to "take them off our hands" or if you'd like a free / cheap pet.
We do not send adopters to foster homes to protect our foster's privacy. Cali_FID is a Petco Partner Rescue, and all adoptions will be held at the Petco store nearest to the animal in question.
The process starts with filling out a basic adoption application found on their website or you may find it linked here on ours under our "rescue mission" tab. Once that is filled out, Cali_FID will review your application and send it to us for further contact to be made.

Adoption Fees
Adoption fees for the Chinchillas in the rescue are based off of Age, Sex, and Mutation. While we feel all Chinchillas are equal, we know that many are sought after by just their looks or sex. We hope by setting appropriate fees, combined with our application and screening process, we can eliminate any and all questionable adopters who may be hoping to adopt for the wrong reasons. Our adoption fees start at $50 for Chinchillas.
Adoption fees start at $50 for all Chinchillas. Add $15 if the Chinchilla is a Female. Females stay in the rescue longer compared to males. ( Males 15-30 days, females 110 - 120 days to insure they are not pregnant ) which takes more time, foster space, and resources. Add $15 if the animal is under 1 year of age. Add $20 if the animal is a mutation color.
This puts our lowest adoption fee for single animals at $50 and our highest for single animals at $100.
In effort to keep same sex pairs and groups together, we will discount adoption fees by $20 per each additional Chinchilla.
Adoption fees are accepted as cash-only. Fees are non refundable.
