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

Meet Cocoa

from NJ rescue

Helping All Little Things!

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.

UPDATE FOR BUTTERCUP!

So far we have raised $303.50 out of $260! Way to go, we met our goal!

We have also had a cozy cup donated, as well as a hut! Thank you so much! We're still waiting, I believe, on a tunnel to be donated from Windespirit's Sewing 4 a Cause. Let me know if you know different. UPDATE: DONATED!

NOVEMBER'S GUINEA PIG OF THE MONTH-Buttercup!

Meet Buttercup

from GA Rescue

Atlanta Metro Guinea Pig Rescue!

Buttercup came to the rescue back in April 2010 as a “4-5 yr old”. She came in with her sister who has since passed away. Buttercup has been deemed a sanctuary pig because of her age and potential health issues.

During her vet visit back in April it was determined she is going blind and has several lumpy masses in her abdomen. Because of her age we have decided against surgery. Being a mature lady, she also has bladder control issues and her bedding needs changing quite frequently. She is housed on fleece and towels so laundry is done more often for her cage.

She is eating well so far and loves hanging out with her cage mates, sometimes bossing them around by giving them “the look!” Her favorite place to be is under a Cozy Sak or Cuddle Cup or in a tunnel.

Buttercup’s needs are simple at the time: a warm, dry place to lay down, fresh hay and veggies, a clean bottle of water and gentle snorgles from us!

How can you help?

We are hoping to raise $260 for Buttercup, enough for four months of her care! This will cover: Hay and Pellets - $10/month, Fresh Veggies & Fruit - $30-40/month (depending on the season), and Laundry - $15/month.

Please consider donating, and remember, Sponsor a Guinea Pig is where a dollar makes a difference!

If you'd like to send Buttercup a present, she has the following on her wishlist:

A new sack or cozy cup from The Cozy Cavy.--DONATED

A new hut from Jen's Custom Crafts--DONATED

A tunnel from Sewing 4 a Cause--DONATED

UPDATE FOR THE LETHALS!

So far we have raised $474 out of $336! We've met our goal :D

Still, with four piggies to fundraise for, every extra bit counts!

UPDATE: Four cozy cavy cuddle cups have been donated by a wonderful woman. Thank you!
