Here at Monty's Place we do our best to help every chinchilla that comes through our door in the best way possible. We provide our chins with a good, safe home and medical care; our goal being rehabilitation and adoption.
You can help us here at Monty's Place! We are located on Long Island in Nassau County. If you live in the New York or surrounding area and you know of a chinchilla in a bad situation or you HAVE a chinchilla who you just can't take care of, please notify us! We will be happy to assist in any way possible.
Like to adopt one of our rescued chins? Sure! Without rescues we can't have adoptions, so if you see a chin who's being neglected or abused, please don't turn your back. That chin could have the opportunity to lead a very happy life with the right person. Feel free to inquire as to the availability of our chins.
Remember the Monty's Place Mantra: We can all save lives through caring and compassion!

decent and humane manner.
* I agree that even if I am an experienced breeder,
that I WILL NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES breed a
rescue from Monty's Place.
