Auckland Cavy Care

21/04/2025

Firstly, thank you to everyone for their donations over the past year.

We are so blessed to have a small team of G- Force Heroes, who quietly behind the screens make regular donations to support Auckland Cavy Care and allow us to continue to do what we do.

To those who made one off donation to help us over some bumps in the way over the last year, thank you too also so much. Some of those bumps last year seemed more like mountains, but with your help, we made it.
I have sent out our receipts to those that we have email addresses for.

If you have donated in the last tax year (1 April 24 to 31 March 25) and did not get a tax receipt from us to claim your 30% back from IRD. Please contact us by PM on FB or drop us an email at [email protected]

If you would like to join our G-force team who donate on a regular basis to keep us afloat simply set up an automatic payment, weekly, fortnightly or monthly to our account, no amount is too small.

Thank you so much. We can do more together.
Auckland Cavy Care Kiwibank 38-9014-0787909-00
Please make sure you do send us your email address so we can send you your receipt next year.

Unfortunately Easter is one of the times of the year when animals - yes mainly rabbits - are impulse brought and so not adopted from reputable rescues.

Sadly, the flow on effect of this is that in a couple weeks or months these animals are dumped or abandoned or worse, stuck in a horrible living situation.

We would love to not have to rescue, but we do constantly as we are trying our hardest to mop up the mess.

Rescues are constantly overflowing, everyone's choice makes a dip of a difference - help us slow the flow, and dream to stop it.

To help us to continue please share, support and if you can donate. The rescues bank account number is 38-9014-0787909-00 and we are a registered charity so you can claim the tax back from your donation.

An amazing foster home of ours has made up two baskets for us to do an Easter fundraising raffle to help raise funds! Tickets are $5 each, and they can be brought via our shop.

Unfortunately, our application for a desexing grant this year was declined, which means we have to slow down our intake a lot . Hopefully, next round, we may be lucky enough to receive desexing grant money again as it's a massive help. In the meantime, we'll need to up our fundraising to keep going on. ❤️

How AMAZING is this! Thinking of getting a tattoo done? Now you can and have $100 from it donated to a rescue of your choice - of course we're bias with who we'd want you to pick.

This is such a generous offer! I hope many people take up his amazing offer!

We have so many adorable guineas in the rescue who would love to find their forever homes!

And another dozen who will be ready after they're de-sexed.

All of our guinea pigs are spayed/neutered and have been to a vet for a checkup prior to adoption. While the adoption fee helps to cover some of the vet costs, our expenses far exceed the adoption fees.  Please fill out our adoption application form if you would like to adopt.

Their areas are large, cleaned daily, with multiple hideys, and loads of hay, both meadow and timothy!

Also, fresh water in both bowls and bottles, grass, salad, and pellets are all provided as part of your critters' stay.
Boarding rates are $14.50 per Guinea Pig and $12 per Guinea Pig for herds of three or more.

They are experienced wranglers with lots of Guinea Pig knowledge, can administer medication and health checks, and they also provide services such as grooming, bathing, and nail-clipping!

They can also provide services for rabbits and rats, flick them a message to enquire for more information.

At The Ranch, they just love Guinea Pigs! One of their favourite things is seeing them explore a newly cleaned and set up area!

Some of you may remember when we were sharing Wayne's cats to help push to find them homes.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/rotorua-daily-post/news/tokoroa-man-needs-to-rehome-100-cats-before-his-cancer-treatment/B7RHZW5P6BCKBJED3EQQOODAEM/

Miss Skinny was one of a handful who didn't get to find her home; she came here a few weeks ago, and while it took her a while to adjust to the change, she is doing well.

She would love a nice quiet home of her own. She's around 10 years old. She loves to be up high, and yummy treats are her favourite!

Please message if you can offer this sweet older cat a forever home. She will take time to adjust to another place again, but hopefully, someone out there can offer her that.

This cute pair have truly settled into their foster home; however, they'd Love a forever home!

Mumma (Left in first picture) came in on the 22/12/21 from the big council uplift at the hoarder's property. She had an old injury to her ear, so she's not really half lopped - she'd have up ears if she could!

Thanos came in on the 09/04/22 - caught off the road as a stray that no one claimed.

Our estimate ages for the pair are around 4.5 years old for Mumma and 4 for Thanos.

They were adopted out end of 2022 however, sadly their adopted family surrendered them back at the start of this year.

From their foster home:

"Thanos and Mumma (we call her Ma for short) have settled in really well. They are friendly, greeting us in the morning. Ma is getting more confident at hopping around or just chilling on her own, without Thanos attached at her side. Thanos is getting more courage to jump and explore different levels. Both of them love it when we come in and move things around for them to explore. "
