My Nonprofit Reviews

Our family recently inherited 5 chinchillas from a friend who has gone into hospice and can no longer care for them. We cared for the chins for almost two months but because we have family members with severe allergies to rodents, we needed to find a good permanent home. We discovered Forever Feisty Chinchilla Rescue on the internet and were immediately intrigued, especially by the no-kill policy of this rescue and that the chins would not be sold for their pelts. We contacted Andrea at Forever Feisty and were quietly vetting her and the rescue. Andrea was exceptionally knowledgeable about chinchilla behavior and care. It was clear that she cares deeply for these fascinating critters. Not only was Andrea receptive to taking in our 5 chinchillas, but she also met my daughter half way between her home in Connecticut and ours in Rochester, New York. This was over and above what we expected. Andrea assessed that our chins had been well cared for and loved. She also refused to take any of our food or toys- needing to protect the other chins in her care from contamination. Andrea planned to quarantine our chins for a period to confirm they were healthy before introducing them to others in her care. Everything that Andrea said and did felt right to us and we had only a few tears saying good-bye to the sweet little guys. We were delighted to have found Andrea and Forever Feisty Chinchilla Rescue!!
