Over the last few weeks, we have seen a rise in needing to rehome piggies.
But unfortunately the rescue is no longer open, and hasn’t been for some time now.
The last of the piggies that we had, sadly passed away. So that has been the journey of Pigateers come to an end.
It was sad to see the rescue close, as I have helped thousands of guineas who have been in need, due to multiple different circumstances from neglect to just needing a new family due to allergies.
I want to thank everyone for the support over the years the rescue has been open. From the adopters, to the people who help raise funds for the piggies.
That said, I will always still be here for help & information. If that’s nail trimming, advice, or being able to find another rescue.
The closest rescues in our area are the following
~ Iggle Piggle Guinea Pigs who have a Norfolk base in Downham Market
~ Piggybanksanctuary who are based in Hilgay, Norfolk (I know spaces are limited for them, and can only take sows)
I know there is a Guinea Pig & Rabbit rescue that I believe is in Terrington St Clement or Clenchworton as well. Lady works in the King’s Lynn Pets at Home (from the last time I spoke to her, she did)
I do know also, if you bought a guinea from a breeder, or rescued from a rescue centre. Then most will be able to either taken the piggies back, or help you in the process for rehoming.
There are also Facebook groups, that help to be able to find new homes for your piggies. Once I can remember the names, and find them. I will update and add them to the comment section for anyone to find.
It has been a wonderful time rescuing & rehabilitating but sadly the journey did have to come to an end. There may be a time where I reopen, but this will not be anytime in the near future. As much as I would love to still help, mentally, physically and emotionally I cannot.
Thank you everyone for your kind and generous support. Pigateers wouldn’t be anywhere without you guys. 💜💜
All the piggies who have come to me, have touched my heart and they will never be forgotten
