Subject: GA, Augusta: 4 gpigs need homes SOON

I know a young woman in Augusta, Georgia who's being
evicted from her apartment soon. The landlord has
told her she has until August 11 to get the animals
out of there or he's calling
animal control and
reporting her for neglect. The landlord says she has
not been feeding them or giving them water every day.
I don't know what animal control with do with these
animals if they're seized. The owner has found a home
for her bird and probably for two of her guinea pigs,
but she needs to find a place for her cat and her
other guinea pigs ASAP. The animals that need a place
to go are:
Guinea pigs: There are four, maybe up to six, guinea
pigs that need homes. The current owner has been
trying to place four of these guinea pigs for months
now and nobody seems to want to adopt them. I really
hope a rescue group can take them, if there aren't any
private adopters interested. If no private adopters
want them, and a rescue group can't take them, then
probably at least four of them, maybe all six, are
going to end up at animal control.
1. American crested female - Nibbles is an approx 2
years old gpig. Very friendly with people, but she
does not like other guinea pigs. She comes with a
cage, water bottle,
food bowl, and igloo.
2. Short hair female - Butters is an approx 2 years
old gpig. Very friendly with people, but I'm not sure
how she is with other gpigs. She comes with a cage,
water bottle, food bowl, and igloo.
3. Short hair & semi long hair males - These two males
have been living together for almost a year. The
short hair, Bandit, is very sweet and he loves being
held. The semi long hair, Bob, is a little wilder, so
these boys needs a home without young kids. They're
both around 1.5 years old. They come with a cage,
water bottle, food bowl, and wooden house.
4. American cresteds - The two that *might* have a
place to go (but that's not certain yet) are American
cresteds, a brother (Norman) and sister (Prissy) pair
between 2 and 3 years old, and both friendly. Norman
is neutered. They come with a cage, water bottle,
food bowl, and igloo.
Since it can be very difficult to get a hold of this
woman, please email me if you can help, and I'll make
sure to get the animals out for you before animal
control seizes them. I can transport up to about 100
miles away from Augusta. If they need to go farther
than that, we'll have to work out transport, but we
should be able to arrange something. I might be able
to hold the guinea pigs and/or cat for a VERY short
amount of time if need be.
