Orange County Cavy Haven is a non-profit organization dedicated to rehoming guinea pigs in Southern California. We rescue abandoned guinea pigs from shelters in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

Our guinea pigs are rehabilitated, socialized, and fostered by volunteers until they are ready to be adopted.

Orange County Cavy Haven was founded in 2003 as a rescue for guinea pigs. Although we are based in Orange County, we rescue guinea pigs from L.A. and Bay Area shelters as well. We also have foster homes in L.A. County.

We are always in need of new foster homes. Please email to find out more info about fostering for our rescue. To find out more about our organization visit about us.

Blizzard and Cappuccino were adopted from the rescue in 2008 and returned to us three years later. They have medical issues -- and the rescue is struggling due to taking in nearly 50 guinea pigs from one shelter in September. Blizzard, the white Abby on the left, has a bladder stone that may require surgery very soon. Cappuccino has a lump that also may require surgery. Their vet bills have already totaled more than $500. They are still young guinea pigs (only 4 years old) and could live several more years. Please consider helping us take care of them. Anything helps.

OCCH needs foster homes for temporary placement of guinea pigs waiting to be adopted. Please help us rescue more guinea pigs from shelters. To ask about fostering, please contact cavyhaven_info@yahoo.com

OCCH has several adolescent boys that we would like to get neutered. This way they can be paired with females and finding loving homes faster. It is $100 to neuter each boar. Please consider donating to our neuter fund.
