Available for Adoption


We are small group of volunteers located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our primary foster home is in Menlo Park, California. Because our foster homes are private homes, we do not have daily or scheduled hours during which we receive visitors. To make an appointment to visit the chinchillas available for adoption, click here.

We do not ship or deliver animals. If you are not in Northern California, we can try to help you find a rescue group closer to your location. If you are in Southern California, please check our list of rescues for contacts nearer you.

We do not adopt animals to people under the age of 18.

Our chinchillas are not to be used for breeding of any kind, either intentional or "accidental", for profit or to produce offspring to add to your chinchilla family. See our adoption policy and adoption process for more information.

Our adoption fee is $75 per animal which includes a "care package" worth about $50. Used cages are available for a small donation.

For more information about any of the animals available for adoption, contact us.

Below are some of the chinchillas currently in need of new homes. Last modified 1/18/10

 Pairs and Groups*

* These chins are in bonded groups and must be adopted together

Margot and Billy - Margot is a retired show chin. A beautiful violet female 10 years old and her adopted son. Billy is a neutered 3 year old beige male.

 

Venus, Tigger, and Kiwi - a family group. Venus is 10 years old beige female, Tigger is 8 year old beige male and their son Kiwi a standard 3 year old male. Well loved but their owner was unable to keep them. They are used to being handled and are a nice social group that deserves to be loved again.

 

 

Herb and Sage are a pair of brother that were found abandoned in a kitchen. These special chinchillas really deserve a forever home to love them


Humphrey and Zing - a brother/sister pair.

 

Kimmie and Kindra are a mother/daughter pair of standard gray chins. Kimmie is 5 1/2 years old and Kindra is 3 1/2 years old.

 Single Males

Brighty - 5 months old standard male. Found by a lady walking her dog when Brighty was about a week old. Now a healthy happy sweet chin ready for a forever home.
Brighty
Toby is a 6 year old standard male. Is a talker and makes all sort of whisles and chirps to get your attention. Always looking for a treat.
Pogo is a sweet and very small healthy young male. He has lots of personality and energy. He likes being held and sleeps in one of those ceramic dust bath shaped like a chinchilla. We think he is 1-2 years old.
Woody was found by a real estate agent in a foreclosed abandoned house. He is a standard gray adult male, at least 3 years old.

Roy is 5-6 year old standard male. He can be nice one day and a complete brat the next.

Single Females

Cindy - Big and beautiful 6 year old standard female. Owner moved to an apartment that does not allow pets.

 

Morticia - Found in an alley in Santa Clara. Morticia is a young adult beige female.

Catalina - small young adult female. Turned into Animal Control when abandoned in a foreclosed house.

 

Pepper - is a year old standard female. Purchased as a Christmas gift at a pet store.

Lady P is standard gray female

Special Chinchillas*

Rebel, Newman, and Newman Jr. are a trio of mature gray males ages about 11-14 years old.

No picture available at this time
Trillizo is missing a front leg. But you would not know it by the way he acts; jumping from shelf to shelf and running in a wheel. He is health and young. We are guessing under 2 years old

* A note about special needs chinchillas:

* If these animals are not adopted, they will always have a loving "forever" home within our organization. We list the animals here only because there are sometimes people who really want to help the animals that are most in need.
