Guinea Pig

Cane and Tater are two male guinea pigs, approximately 3 to 4 years old that have a sad story to tell. When whoever owned the boys no longer wanted to take care of them they were turned loose on a vacant lot in the city to fend for themselves. Why people do this is beyond our understanding. There is no way guinea pigs or any other animals can survive when left to their own.

Both boys were severely vitamin C deficient when they arrived at the rescue. So much so that we thought that Cane (on the left) wasn't going to survive. In addition, both boys had bumblefoot, an infection in the pads of all 4 of their feet. Cane and Tater are receiving the medical care that they so desperately needed, good food, and tons of TLC. They will not be available for adoption until they have totally recovered.

Donations towards there ongoing medical care will be helpful and appreciated.

If you are interested in adopting please take a moment to fill out our adoption application. We must have the completed application first so that we can be certain that the pig(s) will be a good match. The application can be found on our main website www.ctguineapigrescue.org

Guinea pigs are very social animals and require the companionship of another guinea pig and constant interaction with their caregivers.

For the convenience of our adopters (and others) we now have C&C cages available. These cages are the ones that you would receive if you ordered directly from C&C Cages. There are no shipping or handling fees involved. Sue, from Cavy Cages will keep us supplied with an inventory of these cages.

We follow the cage size requirements as outlined on www.cavycages.com and expect all potential adopters to do the same. This is for the mental well being of the guinea pigs.
