501-c-3 launched October 1998

The "Adoption Option" provides you with the opportunity to give a "forever home" to a Kiva animal with the understanding that if ever, for any reason, you find that you cannot keep the animal or continue to give it proper and complete care, attention and housing, you will return the animal to Kiva (at your expense).  You will not OWN the animal, but will be providing for him or her all its needs.  In return, you will receive love, adoration and appreciation from the animal, and also own whatever he or she produces.  For example, if a female alpaca is adopted and she is bred and has a cria (a baby alpaca), you will own that alpaca and can either keep him or her, or sell him or her...your choice.  You just may never sell an animal adopted from Kiva.  That's basically it!  If this is of interest to you, please contact Kiva via this website or by telephone and all the details can be discussed.  Adoption is a big responsibility, and not one to be taken lightly.  We look forward to hearing from you!
