We must remind you that pets are for life, and we strongly encourage you to check out our posts on recommended set-ups and care tips!
Please note that the surrender form may be closed if we do not have adequate slots to take in new surrenders. In such a scenario, please reach out to an alternative animal welfare group for assistance.

Please NOTE:
If the surrender is urgent, please state to let us know!
The only animals we can take are rodents. If you need to surrender another type of animal, you are welcome to email us at hello@hamstersociety.sg, and we may be able to connect you to resources.
Owners must be willing to send the animal to the assigned fosterer.
Owners who surrender an animal will be required to sign a form relinquishing all rights and claims to the animal surrendered.
Once the surrender fee has been paid, a slot is confirmed for your pet. There will be no refunds in cases of cancellation, and donations cannot be refunded.
HSS is not obligated to provide updates to the previous owner or entertain re-adoption requests.
Surrender FEES
HSS is a non-profit organisation. Surrender fees go to vet fees, medication, and the cost to care for the fosters.

WHAT HAPPENS TO MY HAMSTER AFTER I HAVE SURRENDERED HIM/HER?
Healthy hamsters:
Will be housed with a foster parent and kept under observation for 2-3 weeks for any signs of illness/ abnormality.
If there are no medical concerns, our foster parent will prepare an adoption profile for the hamster and he/she will be put up for adoption.
Sick/ injured hamsters:
Will be housed with a foster parent who will take the hamster to the vet to address the medical conditions and attend to the hamster’s general and medical needs.
The hamster will only be put up for adoption once he/she has been cleared by the vet.
For hamsters with persistent medical conditions that cannot be treated (e.g. cancerous tumours)/ are old, he/she will be placed under long term care and be a permanent part of the HSS family.
Sick or injured hamsters may require round the clock care, emergency medical attention or rental of medical equipment. The surrender fees will go towards the rehabilitation of the hamster.
If you understand all of the above and wish to surrender your rodent,
please fill out the surrender form at the following link and we will contact you ASAP.
Attention: If you are a shelter or rescue wishing to transfer animals to Hamster Society (Singapore), please contact us at hello@hamstersociety.sg.
