Our guinea pig babies Hallie and Sally need to be rehomed this week!
The ownership of our apartment rental changed hands earlier this year, and the new owner is enforcing a strict "no-pets" policy.
I argued with the landlord, but no go. Was in denial for a while, but about a month ago accepted that we had to rehome. Posted on guineapigzone: we have had two offers that have fallen through, the second failure I just found out about today. Feeling bad since it was a lovely person who wanted to adopt, but she was doing it to get cuddly pets for her young children, and I felt obliged to let her know about the time and attention required from an adult. Sent her literature about bonding with the piggies, floor time, DIY toys, etc. --- maybe not surprisingly, she decided it was more than she could handle!
Now in terrible trouble since we are leaving town this Saturday July 16. Hallie and Sally have no home! As a last resort, I have arranged for them to go to a no-kill rescue where they will have a 3'x3' cage, fresh veggies, lap time with volunteers as available; prospective adopters will be screened to assure that they will provide adequate space and care. Not a disaster, but I am sick at heart at giving up our babies to some unknown and maybe sad future.
Hallie and Sally are two females almost one year old; they have been together since birth. They have a 4x5 c&c cage together with two indoor runs: they love ramps. Good about using litter box for pee and (most) poo. Both started off very skittish, but now will fall asleep on our laps. Both are piggy kissers, and like chin rubs and nose scratches. Hallie does tricks - circle, find the ball, find the tube, etc - which Sally makes halfhearted attempts to imitate, but prefers to cuddle and purr.
Would so much love for them to go to a forum home...
Here they are:
