Adoption procedure

Potential adopters must complete an online adoption form and meet all the criteria, the main points being:

  • You must live in the South East Kent area.
  • Your guinea pig enclosure must be located indoors, be secure, and at least 8 sq ft (ie 4’x2′) in size.
  • We expect parents to take full responsibility for their care as children usually lose interest (note that guinea pigs can live up to 7 years or longer).

Please do not apply to adopt if our criteria can’t be met. If you do not meet the criteria or are out of our area we will be unable to respond. We also can’t conduct video or zoom home checks and will only be able to proceed if we have an available home visitor in your area.

We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for newspapers which has been greatly appreciated. We are now running very low and need your help again. If we are closed you can leave newspapers in the silver bin next to the Veola bins. Thank you

Can you help?

We are running very low on newspapers. If you can help there is a bin next to the Veolia bins where they can be left unless you want to pop in to say hello. We are open every day from 9 – 11am. Thank you
