Please note: there are multiple scams on the internet involving pets for sale from foreign countries at very low prices or "Free to a good home in return for a donation", quite often described as to cover shipping costs. The reason given will often be that the animals are living in appalling conditions. Generally payment will be asked for by money order or wire transfer. There are no animals available from these sources and they will have your money. Please do not fall into this type of trap.
