Adoption Program

Our rescue program provides all types of caged birds and ferrets with adequate housing, nutritious food, love, the chance to live in peace, and veterinary care when necessary, until they are able to be adopted by loving families. Our birds remain in the comfort of a foster home while awaiting adoption.

We do not adopt out for scientific research, breeding, or for public display. Adoptors must sign a contract outlining our adoption guidelines, and agree to abide by those guidelines. Our adoptees must be returned to our rescue center if an adoption does not work out.

Additionally, our rescue program strives to provide top quality information for those who need a helping hand raising a healthy, happy, caged bird, reptile, or ferret!

Please understand that each bird or ferret we adopt has an associated adoption fee. The adoption fee is not negotiable. Fees associated with adoption help to offset the costs incurred with proper housing and toys, medical care (when necessary), appropriate diet, and any other fees incurred. We do not give animals away for free, nor do we "sell cheep birds or ferrets".
