We Need The Standard Things . . .

. . . help with taking care of the piggies, cleaning cages, vet trips, and help with getting the word out about adoptions. We also need monetary donations to help pay for supplies, food, bedding, hay, and veterinary expenses. But we especially need Backroom at a pet store? NO, this is one weeks' worth of bedding for us!BEDDING! We go through approximately 20 bags of CareFresh a week at cost of $300 a week. We refill the refrigerator every 2 to 2½ days at a cost of approximately $150 a week. Please help us help the piggies. It is a huge financial burden and both Cavy Spirit and the piggies would appreciate any help you can offer.

Since 1999, we at Cavy Spirit have given of our time, our money, and our lifestyle to help save guinea pigs both locally and by helping to share information and resources internationally. We started our rescue when times were brighter and our income was higher. We currently estimate our annual cash outflow for the rescue at $25,000 to $30,000.

We have avoided banner ads and all manners of advertising as we try to keep our site and our rescue as commercial-free as possible in order to maximize content and keep a focus on the guinea pigs. We will be adding a couple of services in the near future to help encourage donations while providing additional value. Rescue persons and groups tend to come and go over time because of burnout. Burnout of money, time, resources, and emotions. We want to keep Cavy Spirit going, but we really need some financial help.

Getting the Word OUT! Be a Piggie Poster Pal
 



Cavy Spirit Needs YOU!
Help Us get the word out!

Please go to the Poster page and print out multiple copies. This page is designed to be printed directly from the internet. There is no 'back key' on that page. Please use the Back button on your browser to return here.

Also, this is not just a giant graphic. We have created the page so that if you want to create your own rescue poster, you can look at the html or download and use some of the graphics. If used on your website, PLEASE give credit to the Muze Arts guys and add a link to www.CavyRescue.com. That's all we ask.

These can go ANYWHERE! But here are some suggestions:

Vets, animal hospitals, other rescue places, even Humane Societies, SPCAs, pet stores, any animal related place or service, schools, preschools, daycares, community areas, at work, grocery stores, drug stores,  just about anywhere!

Help the animals
 More and more rescues and shelters are closing and cutting back every day (story). More and more animals are being euthanized every day. This is becoming a disaster for the animals. Please help us stay active in rescue by contributing what you can. There are many easy ways to help.   


Thank you.
