DECEMBER'S GUINEA PIG OF THE MONTH--Cocoa!

Meet Cocoa
from NJ rescue

Cocoa is a 4 year old male guinea pig who was turned into the rescue when his owners had to move and couldn't keep him. When he came through our doors his nails had never been cut. They were curling into his feet and causing him much pain. Over time we were able to cut them down and he has become the sweetest pig we have ever met. While waiting for his forever home, he helps the rescue educate children on the proper way to handle and care for guinea pigs at presentations and Expos.

How Can You Help?

We are trying to fundraise $270 for this dear pig, as well a C&C cage. I have extra grids I can send, can anyone provide Coroplast? (Ideally in NJ, so shipping isn't crazy, or a referral to a nearby sign dealer and a donation).

The $270 is broken down as follows: $46 a month for pellets (shared with other pigs), $40 a month for veggies, $50 for a vet visit (if needed), $16 for a month of bedding, $8 a month for Vitamin C.

Please click below to donate, and post in the comments section if you are able to send a donation for coroplast, or coro itself.

UPDATE: THE CAGE HAS BEEN ORDERED! Thank you Deb!



Also on the wishlist are cozies (please see our banners to locate a cozy vendor, many of whom have discounts for rescues), fleece, towels, and hay.
