Nimbus

Nimbus is one of 3 young guinea pigs we took in April 2026. They were being listed for free in a Facebook breeder group and we know all too well what often happens to small animals in those situations ... bait, reptile food, homes that aren't prepared for their care, etc.<br/><br/>One of our longtime fosters, who let us know about the post, stepped up and offered them a safe place to land if we could take them in. We said yes, as foster space is the biggest limiting factor for us as a foster home based rescue.<br/><br/>Nimbus is a young Texel mix guinea pig. As a long-haired breed, he is considered "high maintenance" and may do best with an experienced owner who can keep up with his beauty regimen, including frequent brushing and occasional haircuts.<br/><br/>Before coming into our care, Nimbus had been trotting outdoors, so his coat is a bit rough and discolored at the moment but with a proper diet, indoor living, and consistent grooming, we expect his hair to grow out beautifully over the next few months.<br/><br/>It appears he was raised "colony style" and did not receive much one-on-one socialization, so he is understandably shy. Nimbus needs a patient family willing to take things slow and help build his confidence.<br/><br/>Nimbus is currently awaiting his neuter and will be ready for placement once fully vetted.<br/><br/><br/><br/>How you can help:<br/><br/> Sponsor his neuter ($150)<br/> Apply to foster or adopt<br/> Share to help him find his person
