I have been searching the net, and have called the local animal shelters, but so far I am only coming up with shelters that take in dogs and cats - no small animals what so ever.
I am prepared to travel to a rescue centre, I live in Carcassonne, therefore can just as easily go to Spain if necessary.
I also am not in any rush to adopt, but I would like to have an idea of where I can find a rescue place - I know that one day there will be an advert in the local paper or on the boards in shops, advertising a guinea pig or two in need of a loving home, but I would still like to find somewhere who loves cavvies as much as everyone on this site. I would also like to introduce them to these fantastic cages that you lot are using.
I have been on a few of the french GP forums, but their information tends to match the info given in books and in the very unknowledgable pet stores. Their minimum sizes for cages are just sickening. I can't wait to have my CC cage built and start posting pictures on those sites in the hope to get them all to start using them too.
I would also like to say a big THANK YOU to Cavy cages and all the members for all the fantastic helpful and more than anything caring information you all give out on a daily basis. I feel that the day I do find two needy guinea pigs, they will certainly have a good chance in life thanks to this forum.
