Hannah’s Walsall sanctuary took in over 100 guinea pigs rescued from poor conditions in Gloucestershire, straining resources.
The guinea pigs lived in tiny, broken carriers. The carriers were stacked up high. This happened at a property in Gloucestershire. Hannah expected to find sixty guinea pigs, but when she got there, she found 106.
Hannah now cares for all those guinea pigs. She also has 31 cats and 23 rabbits. The animals were crammed into crates, and the guinea pigs bred a lot, some even inbred. Several guinea pigs were pregnant. Hannah felt upset by their poor condition.
She rescued them on January 28th. Sadly, seven guinea pigs have since died. They were too sick from the poor living conditions. The sanctuary now needs money for vet bills to care for the remaining 99.
The rescue is deeply affected by this. Other animals need help too, she said. Animals sometimes leave for new homes, letting them take in new ones needing help. But caring for so many at once gets costly, as many need vet care.
The remaining 99 guinea pigs need care. The sanctuary hopes people will donate to help them keep helping animals. People’s kindness allows them to keep going. They rely on support and want to give the best care possible.
