Hamster Adoption Questionnaire
Please give as much detail as possible in your answers - this will help us to help you through the adoption process and ensure you and the animal are the right match for each other.

Please ensure you are ready to adopt with a suitable setup in place and have read the adoption requirements for the animal you are interested in, and our care advice pages prior to completing this questionnaire - this will save us all time :) https://www.tinypawsmcr.org.uk/advice/

Our general adoption policy can be found here: https://www.tinypawsmcr.org.uk/adopt/

IMPORTANT NOTES!
*The rescue is run from our home in Sale, Manchester (M33 postcode).
*Until further notice, all adoptions will be carried out adhering to social distancing guidelines. Handover will take place at our doorstep at a 2m distance.
*We run the rescue entirely voluntarily, alongside working full time day jobs, but try to respond to emails as quickly as we can. Adoptions can generally take place after 4pm on weekdays and most times on weekends - an appointment must be agreed with us and stuck to due to our time constraints
*Animals may be reserved for a maximum of 2 weeks following a successful adoption application
*An adoption contract must be signed by the adopter at the point of adoption - this includes the agreement that the animal will be returned to us should the adopter no longer be able to care for them
*Adopters must be aged 18 or over (we are happy for minors to be involved in the care of animals adopted from us, but an adult must make the adoption application, and sign our adoption agreement to take full overall responsibility for the animals care)
*We do not permit animals to be transported home on public transport due to extra stress and travel time
*Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we are unable to respond to all enquiries, in particular where housing requirements are clearly not met. Please ensure you have read our care advice and requirements for your chosen animal carefully :)


Our adoption fee for a hamster is a minimum £10 donation.

Adoption fees will help towards the costs of caring for the animals at Tiny Paws MCR

I confirm I have read through the hamster care advice pages before completing this adoption questionnaire https://www.tinypawsmcr.org.uk/advice/hamsters/ *
Required
Name of animal (or species) you are interested in adopting *
Please let us know about any other animals currently living in your household (include species, ages and sexes) *
Who will be responsible for the day to day care of the hamster? *
Are there any children in your household? If so, please provide their ages. *
What experience do you have of caring for rodents/small animals? *
Hamsters are classed as 'exotic' animals and require specialist vet care, which many 'small animal' (i.e. cat & dog) vets are not equipped to provide. We therefore advise using a vet who specifies that they deal with 'exotics'. Which vet would you take your animal to if required? (Please be specific) *
Please list some common health issues you would need to look out for when caring for a hamster *
What arrangements would you make for your hamster if you were to go on holiday? *
Hamsters may be small, but their care costs can be high, especially if they require veterinary care and we recommend having a savings fund or insurance for vet bills. Are you confident that you are able to cover any such costs? *
Are you confident that you, or anyone in your household, does not have any allergies that would prevent you from caring for hamsters? *
Please confirm your living situation *
Have you discussed your plans to adopt an animal(s) with all other members of your household (if any) and obtained their agreement? *
Have you ever rehomed an animal? (By 'rehomed' we mean: surrendered an animal in your care to a rescue, sold, or given away an animal). If yes, please explain the situation. *
I understand that any animal(s) adopted from Tiny Paws MCR must not be bred from under any circumstances and do not intend to do so. *
Required
I understand that if I adopt an animal from Tiny Paws MCR and am unable to care for them at any point during their lifetime for any reason, they MUST be returned to the care of the rescue. *
Required
Do you have your own transport (or a lift) to travel to us, or would you require us to transport the animal(s) to you? *
