BFRR is an all volunteer operation and all our funding comes from donations, and a small portion, comes from adoption fees.
Intact rats are $15 for the first rat and $10 for each additional one. As long as you continue to adopt from BFRR in the future, the fee will remain $10. Due to the costs associated with spaying/neutering and the number of rats housed at the rescue, most rats are not spayed/neutered.
Adoption fees for rats that have already been spayed/neutered can be discussed at the time of adoption.
For reference, the rescue pays $105 ($30 exam fee + $75 surgery) for each Spay and $80 ($30 exam fee + $50 surgery) for each Neuter. If you choose to spay or neuter your adopted rats through our Vet at the rescue pricing, the appointment needs to be made by the adopter within 2 weeks after adoption to get the rescue prices.
