Cheetahs are the fastest animal on earth, running at speeds of up to 120 km/h. They can accelerate 4 times as fast as a human. They are designed to run. There are six subspecies of cheetah, although many are under debate.

Cheetahs have spots for camouflage, and black "tear marks" under their eyes to protect their vision from the sun. Their fragile bodies are built for sprinting, not long distance running. They have large paws with semi-retractable claws to grip the ground while running. Their tail can also be used as a rudder to steer while sprinting after prey.


Cheetah's are vulnerable, meaning that their species is in in danger of extinction.

Male Cheetahs are often found in small groups, typically of other male siblings. Female cheetahs are solitary, and raise their cubs alone. Males establish territories, while females do not. Cheetahs cannot, but instead purr, chirp, "cheetah spit", growl, yowl and churr. Cheetahs are carnivores and typically feed on gazelles. The average litter size is four, although for this adopt Cheetahs will give birth to single cubs, and, rarely, twins.

For the purpose of popularizing this adopt, Cheetah's will be allowed to have unnatural colors, provided that they are on the rarity list below. However, there will also be a real and very rare mutation, King Cheetahs.
Please note that the color of a cheetah's spots *cannot* match the color of its fur.

Please treat everyone with respect, whether it be mods, artists, or other players. If you're rude to anyone you will receive one warning, and on your third warning you will be banned from adopting or ordering customs.

No mini modding. Please let the mods handle it.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know. This means anyone wondering about affiliation, please don't post here, just PM me.

Please don't ask to be an artist when applications are closed. If they're open, ask away.

You may own as many cheetahs as you'd like, but you only apply for three at a time.

If you don't want your cheetah anymore, please PM me and it'll be put up for re-adoption.

ARTISTS: Follow the rarity list, please. Only use the approved colors. Special occasions will be celebrated with a rare cheetah, but otherwise they must all be natural colors.

Strikes:
None! Please, let's keep it that way (:

Banned:
None! Please, let's keep it that way (:

Rules for banned players:
All posts from banned players will be considered spam.
Banned players cannot order customs or breedings.
Cubs whose owners are banned will be put on hold for the duration of their ban. They cannot be aged until the ban ends.


Artist Rules:
~Please, please, please follow & utilize the rarity list.

~ Please number your cheetahs so that we can keep track of how many there are. The titles of your adopts should look like this:
#____ -- Rarity -- Other Information
And your custom titles should look like this:
Custom for _____
In the custom's page you should jot down the rarity. (:

~ Please don't make Rs or VRs without my permission. VRs will only be made for special events, since I'd like to keep them that way - Very Rare. Rares should be made only with my permission. I will typically say yes, although it depends on how many other rarities have been made recently.

~ A minimum of 2 adopts / customs per week would be awesome, although I understand that reality tends to interfere sometimes.

~ You can make any contests to win adopts, but in the form or the adopt's page you should include the base & spot color, so that any pups from that cheetah can have the same colors.

~ Here are some percentages you should use to figure out which rarity should be made:
50 / 100 Cheetahs will be commons.
30 / 100 Cheetahs will be uncommons.
15 / 100 Cheetahs will be rare.
5 / 100 Cheetahs will be very rares.
