Surrender Donation, Every dollar makes a difference. This is not mandatory but will help us to care for your guinea pig until placement. 
 

Cavy Care Inc. is a true NO KILL shelter. Many shelter must practice euthanasia because of space limitations or budget restrains.  Many shelters will only take animals that are good adoptable candidates and "Claim" they are a no kill shelter -in truth they are not taking any type of animal that may not be adoptable because of behavior issues or medical issues. 

  • Here at CCI we take guinea pigs no matter their condition, if we have the space. We provide sanctuary care if they are un-adoptable for medical problems or are advanced in age. We provide care until they are able to be adopted, what ever the case. We will never knowingly adopt out a sick or compromised animal. We are a true no kill shelter. 

"We never break up families where ever possible."

  • It is also not our policy to not break up families, pairs, or what ever the configuration when they are surrendered. When the time is right they find the right home. The guinea pigs welfare comes first. 

"We are never going to hassle you about having to surrender your guinea pig!"

  • We are not going to hassle you about surrendering, ask questions of you or make you feel bad because you are giving up this animal. You are doing the responsible thing by bring them to a shelter instead of dumping them. If you are able, we ask for a $5 donation per animal. But it is a voluntary donation.  Please call to make an appointment. We would hate to miss you.

 

  • We are NOT financed by federal, local or government. We are only supported through donations and adoption fees. We are solely staffed by  volunteers and we pay our vet bills just like everyone else with as much consideration as the vet can afford. She has a family to feed too.  

We look for situation where everyone involved is excited and looking forward to a life time commitment with their new family member. We follow up with our new adoptive families to see how things are going and are available long after the adoption. 

We are here and committed to the guinea pig community with the exception of mills and breeders.  

We DO NOT provide breeder referrals or condone breeding of any kind! 

Jasper

Please do not leave guinea pigs at area PETCO's. PETCO is not a shelter but a business. If they where in the business of rescue they would be promoting only rescue animals. Instead they sell animals they purchase at wholesale breeders and mills and accept these animals instead of sending people to a shelter or rescue who can provide the bests service to the animal. 
If see some poor little guinea pig on a "adoption" table at PETCO, feel they need help let us know and we will get the word out to help them.
