Final call: vote for the Dutch Guinea Pig Foundation
Hi All,
The guinygirls wrote about the Dutch Guinea Pig Foundation and asked you to vote so that they would have a shot at winning a Camper (last day to vote, so if you haven't, please do! We voted on every computer we have). We asked the guinea pig herd from Almere to write something about the Dutch Guinea Pig foundation, since many among their ranks come from the stichting cavia shelters, and they've been to the cavy-village in Bakkeveen.
If the guinea pig is healthy and not too old, the foundation will try to find a new owner.
If they don't succeed in finding one, the guinea pig will spend the rest of its life in the cavy-village (Caviadorp) in Bakkeveen.
With getting a new piggie from Stichting Cavia you also become a contributor of
the foundation for 1 year and you receive the newsmagazine “de CaviaKrant”
(Guinea pig newspaper) twice a year.
You can support these guinea pigs by financially adopting them for the amount of 16 euro a year (you can deposit this amount on account 7741751 or bank account 50.16.28.460 of Stichting Cavia in Bakkeveen). You can choose the guinea pig on this page (in Dutch).

We, that is CaviaBende Almere, would like to tell you
something about the shelter we came from. Pom used to live in a big herd (about 60 piggies!) because somebody let his/her
piggies breed without limits. Sofie, Melissa and Darwin were signed over to
Stichting Cavia because their former owner didn’t want them any more :-( Our new owner found Pom in the shelter in Bakkeveen, the girls in the shelter
in Haarlem… and we are very happy together!
Since we hope more piggies wil find a good home this way… well, we like to tell
you something more about Stichting Cavia!
The goals of the foundation are:
- To offer a shelter for guinea pigs and attempt to find a suitable new owner for them
- To supply information about guinea pigs in order to increase their well being
and pleasure in life.
Stichting Cavia headquarters is located in Bakkeveen (Friesland, Netherlands), but has many smaller shelters throughout the Netherlands and even in Belgium.
If someone is no longer able to look after their guinea pig, looking for a
temporary care solution (ecc holiday), or looking for a new piggy at your home
they are welcome here! Stichting Cavia also provides people with information
about piggie healthcare and daily care. Stichting Cavia offers a shelter
for guinea pigs from people that can no longer take care of their them (regardless of the reason).
Stichting Cavia doesn't charge the previous owners, they only ask
them to fill in a declaration stating that Stichting Cavia is the new owner of
the guinea pig.
If the guinea pig is healthy and not too old, the foundation will try to find a new owner.
If they don't succeed in finding one, the guinea pig will spend the rest of its life in the cavy-village (Caviadorp) in Bakkeveen.
Most of the time Stichting Cavia has a large number of
piggies available, so if you are looking for a piggie: check Stichting Cavia
first before you go to the petshop…!

| Caviabende Almere enjoying their forever home |
Amongst the many guinea pigs that
are brought to Stichting Cavia there are also old animals and animals with a
weak health. In principle, these guinea pigs can still have a good life despite
their shortcomings. However, due to the time and costs involved in their
caretaking, they are not suitable for the average pet owner. These guinea pigs
stay in the cavy-village for the rest of their lives.
You can support these guinea pigs by financially adopting them for the amount of 16 euro a year (you can deposit this amount on account 7741751 or bank account 50.16.28.460 of Stichting Cavia in Bakkeveen). You can choose the guinea pig on this page (in Dutch).
Of the guinea pig(s) that you decide to adopt financially, you will
receive an adoption certificate. If you extend the adoption with another year,
you will receive a card with a short description of how the guinea pig is
doing. Additionally, you will receive our newsmagazine "De
Caviakrant" (Guinea Pig Newspaper, in Dutch, only delivered in the
Netherlands) twice a year. Thanks to your help, the guinea pig can enjoy the
rest of his or her life in the cavy-village.
If you are interested to support
us by financially adopting one of the guinea pigs in Bakkeveen, you can send an
e-mail to: informatie@stichtingcavia.com

Vote for the Dutch Guinea pig foundation (stichting cavia)
Hi all,
We have a request for you, the dutch ebay, called 'marktplaats' is giving away a camper. Many groups and foundations have signed up to become the new owner of this camper.
We just heard from our friends of the Guinea pig gang Almere (@caviabendealmer on twitter) that the Dutch Guinea Pig foundation (stichting cavia) is competing.
They have guinea pig shelters in the netherlands, and a big guinea pig village where they take care of loads of unwanted guinea pigs. They pick up about 3000 guinea pigs a year, and their van unfortunately is old and broken at the moment...
Please take a minute to vote for them!!!

Floortime!
As you can see from the video we love floor time especially Roos.
To make play time interesting for piggies we highly recommend toys our favourite toys are simple and cheap to make, empty boxes!!
You can make tunnels or hideys out of empty boxes, you can stuff them with hay or hide nibbles in them or just use them to make a chicane to run around.
