About Us
CavyRescue is run by Jason and Stella
Hulott. The aim of the site is to educate individuals and organisations
on small animal healthcare and welfare and we regularly run
successful campaigns to this effect.
Originally set up to rescue guinea pigs, rabbit and hamsters
etc, we found that there were few other rescues who took in
rats.While we retained the name CavyRescue (‘cavy’ is a posh
word for guinea pig!) as we were well known, you may also hear
of us called Recycle a Rodent.
We are based in Kent and both work full time to help pay for
the costs associated with running the Rescue - we are juggling
our two 'jobs' successfully at the moment, although get very
little sleep!
The basic costs of caring for our permanent residents averages
at around £200 a month, but that is without vet bills.
Our annual vet bill averages out at around £15,000 a year
and these costs are all paid for by ourselves and from donations,
so every donation, however small, is very much appreciated.
ANIMAL HEALTHCARE
Everything within these pages is written from our and others
experience, but we are not trained vets - if you are ever in
doubt about an aspect of your pet's health, then consult the
experts - ie your vet.
PERMANENT RESIDENTS..LOVED AND LOST
Some of the ratties that come in to us cannot be rehomed due
to health or temperament issues. Instead, they live out their
lives here with us, spoilt rotten and forever loved.
This short video, made by Lauren who rehomed some ladies from
us, is in memory of all those that we have loved..
