As we have several staff that are clinically vulnerable, we kindly ask that you continue to wear a mask when visiting us in person.

Thank you for your continued support.

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.
• No young children (preferably 10+)

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.

If you’re looking for a companion for your recently bereaved piggy, then we’re sorry but we are only doing introductions to adopters previously known to us.
