Why sponsor?

Would you love to foster or adopt but aren’t able to?  Or do you simply just want to help more?  Sponsoring allows you to help us help guinea pigs in need.

Please note that all sponsorship amounts and one-off donations over $2 are completely tax deductible.

Sponsor a cage of foster guinea pigs!

Have you thought about fostering or adopting and just aren't in the position to do either of these things, yet you still want to help? Sponsoring a cage of foster guinea pigs might just be the solution you're looking for.

You can sponsor a cage of foster guinea pigs for the small amount of $5 a week, which helps us to cover the costs of providing basic medical checks, mite treatment, worming, food and bedding. With over 60 cages of guinea pigs in our care at all times, every cage sponsorship helps.

Sponsor a medical needs guinea pig

Qld Guinea Pig Refuge often cares for many guinea pigs, that arrive into care with various painful medical conditions. Since we've opened QGPR has cared for guinea pigs with broken legs, bumblefoot, severe mange and dental disease, ovarian cysts, broken bones, kidney damage and so much more. These conditions can cost over a thousand dollars to completely treat, and treatment can last for the entire period of the guinea pigs life. Currently, QGPR is seeking sponsorship for several guinea pigs on medical foster care in order for them to be able to make a full recovery and experience a happy and healthy life.

Sponsor a male in need of desexing

The Refuge has a number of male guinea pigs in need of desexing so they can find their new best friends.  You can help us with medical costs by sponsoring a male, or with a one-off donation.  While desexing a male guinea pig costs in excess of $140, any amount is appreciated.

These males are not able to be paired with other males for a number of reasons, most often because they have been living with females and are aggressive towards other males.  Having a girlfriend will make them much happier!
