I can't seem to find any place close to home to get my cavy. I have searched for rescues and in petfinder.com without succsess. I even volunteer at the local human society and nothing. I'd rather adopt then buy from a pet store but is their any other choice?

I think California has the most homeless guinea pigs in the U.S.A......keep looking in your newpaper adds and bulliton post at your local feed stores and library. I may take a while but it's worth the wait. Guinea Pig Adoption Network

that guinea pig home.com website seems to have alot of rescues in CA. Have you checked there? Find the section for rescue listings.

I think some of the rescues could even arrange transportation for the pig to closer to you if they "approve" your adoption. It seems I am always hearing stories of people moving pigs all over that state!

How long have you been looking? I know I have seen people all the time say they can't find a local pig, but if they wait a few weeks and look in several places, pigs start comming out of their ears!

What part of CA are you in? Northern, Southern? Central? There are too many homeless pigs here. Please don't buy. We can probably help you find some to rescue.

Re: Wan't to adopt...Can I?

I live in Northern California, Butte county. I have looked in the newspapers and I am willing to wait in order to get my cavies (preferably two females). I am not sure about having them 'sent' to me, I want to see them before I decide so I can see their health and personality

Unfortunatly it is. I am inexperienced driver and my parents are far to busy to take me there. This is why I am getting lost. But, I will keep looking in the paper and I'll continue to ask the humane society I volunteer at, I'm going there tomarrow in fact, thanks all! I hope it works out, I hate see my beautiful C&C cage empty!
