We Have Removed Surrender Fees

Exciting News: We Have Removed Surrender Fees to Support Exotic Pets and Their Owners! 🐾✨

We are thrilled to announce that APES CIC’s Shelter Services have recently made a significant change: the surrender fees have been officially removed! This decision aligns with our mission to make it easier and more compassionate for pet owners to secure a safe and suitable home for their exotic animals. Our goal is to eliminate financial barriers and ensure that every exotic pet receives the care and attention it deserves.

Why Did We Remove Surrender Fees?
At APES CIC, we believe that the welfare of exotic animals is paramount. Removing surrender fees is a step towards creating a supportive environment where owners can seek help without worrying about costs. It also encourages responsible pet ownership and reduces the likelihood of animals being abandoned or surrendered to unsuitable conditions. Our focus is on providing a caring, ethical, and accessible service to all who need it.

Important Information for Surrendering Your Animal
To help us better manage animal intake and improve our services, we now require that all surrenders come with the animal’s housing or enclosure. This is crucial for addressing the shelter’s lack of suitable housing options and helps us process surrender requests more efficiently. If the animal does not arrive with adequate housing, it may take longer to accept the surrender because we need to find appropriate accommodations for the animal. Additionally, this policy helps us keep internal costs low, ensuring we can continue to offer free surrender services and high-quality care.
