Our Story
Auckland Cavy Care is a rescue, we are not a pet shop or breeder. Each Guinea Pig that comes into the rescue is at that point homeless as due to no fault of their own they are needing a home, this can be due to many reasons. We are a āhalf-way-homeā for the Guinea Pigs while they are looking for their forever home, and we could not run the the rescue with-out the support of our foster home network who offers up their time and space to lovingly foster the Guinea Pigs.
Each Guinea Pig is de-sexed and vet checked prior to adoption, this is because we firmly believe in de-sexing Guinea Pigs both for their health but also to stop any unwanted breeding. This does mean that our adoption fees are higher, however this does not cover the expenses that the rescue incurs and no profit is made from the adoption of each Guinea Pig, we run at a loss as we do this for the love of the Guinea Pigs and the hope to make a better future for each one that comes our way.
