Reguarding the Find Familiar spell - it says you have a choice of Celestial, fey, or feindish. Is that a subtype or a template or does the familair just have the normal stats of the animal? eg. frog, rat, etc

The latter. The spell says it "has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is celestial, fey or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast." So, essentially, it is a owl, cat, bat etc. for all intents and purposes except when it is attacked it is considered a fey, celestial or fiend for damage, saves.

It can also come into play with effects that target fey, celestials, or fiends, like a Paladin's detection ability or spells like Protection from Evil and Good.
