Forget Me Not Bird Rescue

A few months ago, we welcomed three adorable guinea pigs, Ginny, Cassie and Pip. We knew there was a possibility that Cassie could be pregnant, despite only being under 1 year old.
Over the past few weeks, Cassie’s belly has doubled in size. After a vet visit, our suspicions were confirmed, Cassie is indeed pregnant!

We’re expecting her little ones around November 18th, as guinea pig pregnancies typically last 59-72 days. While litter sizes can range from 1 to 8 pups, we believe Cassie has 4 on the way. We can’t wait to meet them all! 🖤

Stay tuned for updates as we continue to care for Cassie and her babies. 🐹🤍

Meet Wendy, a beautiful young budgie who was surrendered into our care just a few weeks ago. At around 7 months old, Wendy is a social little lady who loves chatting with her budgie friend, Captain, and munching on corn.

Fun fact: Did you know a budgie’s cere (the area above the beak) can tell you their gender? Swipe to the next photo for more info!

While Wendy is not available for adoption just yet, stay tuned – we have 8 new birdies to introduce to you soon! 🩵🦜

Big News! Forget Me Not Rescue will now be a bird rescue and sanctuary.

While we will continue to assist all animals, our primary focus will now shift to rescuing birds. This decision reflects our founder’s extensive expertise as a veterinary nurse and wildlife biologist, along with over 10 years of experience caring for pet birds.

As dedicated advocates for animal rights, we believe the overall care for companion birds needs to improve within society, including stronger regulations around the breeding and selling of companion birds.

Forget Me Not Sanctuary currently houses over 12 birds. We will continue to share more about them in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more info! 💜

Meet Crumble, a stunning and sweet lady who is ready to find her forever home.

Crumble is a calm and gentle senior cat who loves nothing more than being showered with love and pats. She loves to snooze on the cat scratcher and stare out the window, like a queen watching over her kingdom.

Her sweet nature means that she finds joy in simple pleasures, making her an easygoing furry friend who is perfect for a calm and loving household. Crumble is looking for a home where she is the only cat present. She gets along well/ignores calm dogs.

Crumble was hit by a car when she was younger and has multiple breaks in her pelvis and back legs. Due to this, she does not have full mobility of her back legs, but is able to walk and jump without problem.

If you think you can provide Crumble with a loving forever home, visit or follow the link: https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1062284
