Welcome to Stichting Cavia

Stichting Cavia ("the guinea pig foundation") was founded in September 1997. The goals of our 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 wellbeing and pleasure in life.

If you cannot or do not want to care for your guinea pig (cavy) any longer, if you are looking for a temporary place to stay for your guinea pigs (for example because you go on holiday), or if you want to buy a guinea pig, Stichting Cavia is the place to be. Also, if you are looking for information about the health of your guinea pig, or if you, for example, find a guinea pig somewhere outside, we can help you.
