Hetero beige female chinchilla -- "Morticia"
Born approx. 12/2023 -- 1.75 years old
**Morticia is not a chin for someone just starting out in chins... unless you really want a hands-off furball**
**Morticia is a fan of spraying. Like, it might as well be a hobby of hers. If you can grab her quick enough, you may not get sprayed... but this is difficult even for me -- 23+ years in -- so beginners beware. She immediately stands up to spray when you reach for her, though she IS fine with you simply opening the cage to fill food and water.**
**Morticia did have a buddy in the past, so she might do fine with another chin buddy... in case someone wants to pair up this spicy girl**
--not a fan of being handled (even after you have your own golden shower to get to this point)
--squirmy in your arms, keeps moving while being handled
--happy as a clam in her cage, being left alone
--a very look-but-don't-touch pet
Farmhand thoughts: "She's super cute, but NOT a fan of hands coming towards her. Big fan of spraying. Not super energetic, but will be that way in attempt to get away from whatever human is trying to hold her."
Adoption fee -- $75 cash or zelle / $83 card or other electronic payment

Our adoption process requires all of our potential homes to read our care packet and fill out an adoption form. The care packet talks about the care and needs of the specific animal the home is looking to adopt. The adoption form asks questions about the type of home the animal will be going into, what type of cage will be used, what type of food the animal will be fed, and so on - questions to verify that the pet will be cared for well in its new home. There is no application fee with our rescue, the only fees are the adoption fees for the pets.

Go meet their pets
Visiting our adoptable animals requires an appointment. To make an appointment with us, give us a call 219-789-0026. The rescue is run out of our house, so we are not always home for someone to view the animals. We are home most afternoons/evenings, and people are welcome to come visit then (after having called and set up an appointment).

More about this rescue
I am Ashley Gajda and I am the "owner" (if it could even be called that) of the rescue. I opened this rescue because I hated to see small pets without homes, and wanted to help. We opened the rescue in 2003 with very few cages, but have since expanded and now take in a variety of small animals and have plenty of spare cages. It is just me running the rescue, so I'm always looking for volunteers to help with whatever needs it at the time.
