The Critter Connection -- Connecticut's Guinea Pig Rescue

The Critter Connection, Inc., is a non-profit group dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abandoned and neglected guinea pigs. Founded in early 2004 by Cindy Kuester, a long-time guinea pig owner, the rescue was created when she realized that abandoned guinea pigs had nowhere to go because larger shelters are not equipped to care for them. With the help of volunteers and foster homes, the rescue has saved more than 700 abandoned guinea pigs. We also educate owners in the proper care of guinea pigs, providing valuable information about their unique dietary, housing, and health needs. Some of that information is available on our Web site, and even more is available on our blog.
