Cage cleaning, feeding, cleaning water bottles, grooming and cuddling the guineas are just some of the daily routine duties. Providing information to members of the public and manning the stalls at fund raising events are valuable tasks too.
Cavy Corner Guinea Sanctuary was established in the summer of 2008 as the result of a childhood love of cavies (another name for Guinea Pigs)
It started with two guineas Clover and GP who were bought as pets. We quickly became cavy slaves and discovered just how many Guinea Pigs there are who need a safe loving home and the Sanctuary was born.
Cavy Corner rescues abused, abandoned, neglected and unwanted guinea pigs in addition to taking in Piggies with special needs either because of poor health or behaviour. We nurse them back to good health and provide them with a loving forever home here.
We have also given homes to guineas when changes in circumstances mean a family can no longer keep their cavy.
Currently there are 71 resident Piggies but there may well be more on the way any day now.
