On August 1st, we learned that the health, safety, and well-being of eight guinea pigs were at serious risk.
All eight were living together in one small cage, forced to compete for food, water, and space. We believe they had been severely neglected and kept primarily for breeding, with little consideration for their health or quality of life.
One incredible volunteer stepped in and rescued them. Three babies were taken in by the Quebec SPCA, while the remaining five came into our care.
All five arrived with medical concerns, including untreated mites, sore paws, torn ears, and two who are currently on pregnancy watch. One guinea pig, however, was in particularly critical condition. He had been so severely picked on that he had a large, infected open wound on his back.
He required immediate veterinary care, including pain medication, medicated baths, topical treatment, ivermectin, antibiotics, laser therapy, and a cone to prevent him from irritating the wound while it healed.
We desperately need your help with his medical care. As a rescue, we rely entirely on donations and the support of our community. This little guy has already been through more than he ever should have, and together, we can give him the safe, healthy, and happy life he deserves.

We also want to apologize for our delayed responses. Our rescue is currently very backed up, and our volunteers are doing their best to keep up with the many messages we’re receiving. We appreciate your patience and will respond as soon as we can. 🤍
