            Fostering for CCH

            Have you been interested in owning rats as pets, but feel you can't make the commitment quite yet? Do you love small animals, but simply don't have the money to properly care for them long-term? Perhaps being a foster home for Chelle's Critter Haven is for you!

            Being a foster home is a great way to:
            • have some companionship without the commitment level of owning a pet
            • meet new people and make some rat-loving friends
            • help out a local rescue in need, with next to no cost

            As a foster home for CCH, you will be responsible for caring for a rat or couple of rats (depending on what you want) for a period of around a month, or longer if you chose. You will be responsible for alerting a CCH volunteer to any signs of illness or behavioral problems, and for socializing the rats. During this time you will be supplied with all of the following:
            • suitable cage
            • bedding
            • toys
            • cage accessories (hammocks, igloos, etc.)
            • food
            • food bowl
            • water bottle
            • medication (if needed)

            As a foster home, you will NOT be responsible for any medical expenses, but simply for providing medical care if needed. Chelle's Critter Haven foots the bill! If the rats need medication, it will be provided by the rescue. We will also show you how to properly medicate the rat, and put you in touch with our vet just in case.
            You also will not be responsible for any transportation at all. We can transport to/from quarantine and foster homes (within a reasonable distance), so there's no need to be able to drive! Foster homes will have access to a CCH volunteer at all times of day or night, should an emergency occur. You must be willing to provide the foster rats with attention, love and care. Please contact us via email (chellescritterhaven@gmail.com) for more information, or fill out the foster application.
