Welcome to the website of CavyRescue (registered charity no: 1111583). The aim of our charity is not only to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome small animals, but to educate individuals and organisations on small animal healthcare and welfare and we regularly run successful campaigns to this effect

Our website has two purposes – the first to provide details of unwanted, abandoned and abused small furries (such as degus, rabbits, hamsters, rats and guinea pigs) that need loving homes not just at this rescue but nationwide.

The second is to provide useful information, articles, and resources etc on caring for your furry friend so that they can be kept in the optimum of physical and mental health.

NEW!! Guide To Respiratory Disease in Rats

Written by a vet and for vets, the Guide discusses various causes of the disease as well as suggests proven treatments.

Over the last ten years’ one of the most common questions we, as a high profile pet rat rescue, get asked about is the treatment of respiratory disease in rats. This Guide is a combination of our experience and our vet’s expertise.

To date there has been very little information available about respiratory disease, so we felt the need to share our vet’s knowledge in order to help reduce the amount of unnecessary deaths and suffering caused by this sadly very common illness.
