We run a guinea pig rescue in Auckland, New Zealand. For guinea pigs that are up for adoption visit www.aucklandcavycare.org/for-adoption

To get Kiwi's aware of better housing, diet and overall care for guinea pigs so both the people and the pigs can have happier.

As well as rescuing/accepting surrender guinea pigs, caring for them and giving them the needed vet care then re-homing them to suitable homes.


Auckland Cavy Care is a rescue not a pet shop or breeder. Every guinea pig that comes here is technically homeless hence why we use the term 'adopt' not 'buy' as we do not breed nor do we sell guinea pigs for profit.

We're a 'half-way-home' while the piggies are looking for their forever home. Their first three weeks with us are spent in quarantine, and if needed they get vet treatment. Once they're out of quarantine they get put up for adoption to a loving permanent home where they will be valued and nurtured as part of the family.
