Gerbil/Hamster/Mouse Adoption Application


On adopting animals from STAR, you will be asked to sign an Adoption Contract which you can preview here. Please ensure you are happy with this before proceeding.

STAR is reliant on donations to continue our work. We do ask that you make a donation when adopting from us. There is no fixed amount but we appreciate anything you can spare.

Please note - we have had some technical problems with the form recently. If you have any difficulties please Email Us
