Moon's Story

​White mosaic male chinchilla -- "Moon"<br/>Born 3/2022 -- 4 years old​​​​​​​<br/>​​<br/>**Surrendered 3/14/2026**<br/>​<br/>**Please read -- this boy had dental work done at a vet's office and was advised to come back for x-rays -- his family surrendered him as they were unable to financially afford continuing dental care.  In our care (without any further dental work), Moon has actually *gained* a significant amount of weight... so we are offering him up for adoption, with the caveat that whoever adopts this boy should keep track of his weight and his eating habits, and he should be taken to the vet (at the owner's cost), or surrendered back to us (and we will take care of his needs, as his ownership will transfer back to us) if his health becomes un-manageable.  Because of this, he is ONLY adoptable within a 2 hour radius of Wolcott, IN (so that it is not a burden if / when he needs to be brought back).  He is too sweet to not give him a chance at a good life while he still can enjoy one.  No health guarantee on this furball.*<br/>​<br/>--sweet boy<br/>--relatively easy to scoop up into your arms <br/>--super sweet when being handled and petted <br/>--does awesome with being handled and petted<br/>--just sits and chills with you for the most part <br/>--occasionally can be a bit barky when being taken out of his cage <br/>--melts like a chinchilla plush when being loved on<br/>​<br/>Adoption fee -- $100 CASH OR ZELLE / $110 CARD OR OTHER ELECTRONIC PAYMENT<br/><br/>Want to adopt?
