We take in guinea pigs in crisis situations where the animals are in need of veterinary care. Whether the animal has been left on

property, sick or are about to be released into the wild, we will always take in emergency cases if we have the space. If our rescue is full, we will refer you to another rescue organization. Adoption

When you adopt from us, you directly support all the medical costs the animals receive. We examine all the animals who are brought to us. If we cannot treat any medical findings at home, the animals will be brought to our local exotic veterinarian for further treatment. Depending on each case, we will have lab work, x-rays and surgeries done on the animals in our care who need it. When you adopt from us, we will give you all the medical history we have on the animal (whether the animal was seen by our exotic veterinarian or the pervious homes veterinarian.) Adoption Policy

The Royal Cavy Guinea Pig Rescue has the right to deny any adoption applications and families who do not meet our adoption criteria. This means if you are at risk to harming the pet, can not provide for the animals needs financially, will breed the animal, eat or feed the animals to another pet or do not have a good tract record with keeping pets, our rescue has the right to deny your application. In order to adopt from us you must fill out our adoption application and go through a pre adoption screening. We have the right to deny an adoption up to the scheduled adoption date. If for any reason you seem unfit to adopt an animal from us, for example if you show up to the scheduled adoption under the influence of drugs or alcohol, we will not hand you any pet and you will be asked to leave our property. Holding animals

The only was an animal rescue can continue to rescue is if there is a constant demand for adoptions. There are MANY animals being surrender into shelters all across America. Animal shelters can’t keep up with the demand, the same goes to our organization. Because there will always be a constant need for animal surrenders, we do NOT hold onto animals. We are a first come first serve animal rescue. Once you schedule that adoption you will only be able to reschedule it up to three days away from the original date. If you place a deposit on an animal we will only hold those animals for up to a week. If the animals are not adopted at the end of the week, we will consider other families for adoption. I have been running into this problem a lot and have considered these new terms. Surrendering

We are no longer holding a waiting list. Like adoptions, surrendering is first come first serve. There is a 48 hour window you have to surrender your pets to us. We can not guarantee when space will open up. For perspective, I get at least 5-6 calls/messages about surrendering pets. Normally each home has from 4-10 guinea pigs. There is a limit on the amount of animals we take from families. There is a 3 pet limit per family. This three pet limit is only for animals kept in a 3 member herd. If you have 4 pigs in a herd we will only accept 2 of the 4. If you call us to surrender an animal and we do have space, and you call us a week or two to schedule the appointment we can NOT guarantee that space will still be available. What animals do we take in? There has been a few changes to what types of animals we will accept. Please seek the following list below.
1.) Guinea Pigs
2.) Chinchillas
3.) Sugar Gliders
4.) Hedgehogs
5.) Small reptiles

Animals adopted out by us are always welcome back. If we are full on space and can’t accept them at the time, we will help you find them a home

We are a 501 c(3) organization

-SPECIAL NEEDS BOAR
-Springhill FL

Meet Walter an estimate 3-4 year old boar. Walter has a long history at our facility. He was a baby that we rescued off the streets years ago. He was adopted then returned a year ago when their owners had to move out of state.

During his exam we discovered that Walter has a mass in his throat. He has seen our exotic specialist and an expert at Blue Pearl hospital. Both vets agree that the mass cannot be safely removed. He has major blood vessels attached to it. Because of this diagnosis there is nothing to be done about his mass. Despite the mass, our vets say he does have a quality of life since it hasn’t been affecting him.

We are looking for pig experienced home only, preferably someone in the veterinary field.

As of now Walter does not require any medication, or medical treatments. His only requirement is that he has to be held a special way (we can show). He isn’t the fondest of being held.

Walter is a gentile and submissive pig. He does well with other guinea pigs. Because of his condition we don’t mind that he goes to a home as a single pig.

Walter is a quiet gentleman who would like a nice quiet home to retire. He doesn’t demand much but has a sweet tooth for carrots and watermelon.

Old man Walter will come with his medical records.

If you have any questions or are interested in adopting Walter please reach out to our page or text “ADOPT” at 727-401-5235, and state you are interested in adopting Walter.

Like always, applicants must go through our adoption screening!

Please share this post, special needs pets deserve a second chance too 🙏

Very cool visitor! A native gopher tortoise came by to say hi!

He was trying to get into the front door then took off into a wooded area!

😂 He’s probably trying to head ahead for Halloween!

We are pleased to report that Kristina was allowed to board with our baby Scooter. 🙏❤️❤️❤️
They will be flying to Miami, and I will be there anxiously awaiting for him.
To all who contributed towards his forthcoming treatments, we extend our sincerest gratitude from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏❤️
A big thanks to Kristina for putting her personal life aside and flying to pick him up, facing lots of uncertainties.
May God bless you, Kristina.
We will continue to provide updates regarding his progress.
We hope that he will regain some mobility. Only God, time, and Dr. Romo can provide a prognosis.

I know quite a few people were interested in adopting Jumba. Here’s a bunny similar who needs a home!

PSA!

Hello everyone! I will no longer be using my personal FB account, I will strictly use the rescue account! (Since I’m unable to delete my personal page without deleting the rescue, my personal page is now inactive!)

From now on if you need to get ahold of me please contact the rescue page or my number!

I’ve been having a lot of people message my personal page and rescue page about guinea pigs and I’m losing track of important conversations! Since I don’t use my personal accounts much I rather just do without!

Thank you all!
