Pets
Yes, you can have a pet here with you in Hogwarts. The pets we offer are however limited to cats, owls, toads, rats and pygmy puffs. Your pet serves as an NPC or a non-player character that you control. Without a pet (you can see them in a player's profile, for instance look at mine) then you cannot have a pet here with you in Hogwarts.

Reducio
You can roleplay the shop keeper, the shop is simply run by an old couple with smiling faces and white hair. They are kind and funny, they are not creepy or cruel and they want each student to find the perfect animal to love. Ernest Witticker is about six feet tall with broad shoulders and a bit of a pot belly. He wares a pair of wire framed glasses and is usually seen wearing a flannel checkered shirt, a pair of blue jeans and a brimmed hat. While clean, he does not shave daily so he usually has some whiskers on his face. His wife, Anita Witticker is about a foot shorter, standing at five feet tall. Some first year students are taller than her in fact. She often wears floral dresses and smells like sugar cookies. In fact, that is because she often offers them to children as a treat if they have been well-behaved. She has short white hair that is curled and nicely styled and usually wears some make-up but nothing too noticeable, just enough to show she cares what she looks like.
While both are nice and friendly, neither of them are push-overs, nor are either of them muggles. Both of them are graduates of the Durmstrang Institute and capable wizards in their own right despite their age. If you attempt to vandalize, bully or steal a pet, they will not only notice but you will be regretting your trip to their quaint little shop for some time.

Description: As exotic as they look, Bengals were bred to be domestic cats and so don't have any of that danger or wildness you'd expect from their looks. Don't let that fool you, however; these cats aren't for people looking for a gentle lap-cat. Intelligent, curious, and extremely active, they'll keep their owners busy and often act more like a dog than cat, enjoying walks on a leash and playing fetch.

Name: Gray Mackerel Tabby
Price: 10 Galleons
Description: With their adorable swirls and range of personalities, you can never quite be sure what you're going to get with a gray Mackerel.
