Our Story
The Critter Connection, Inc., is a non-profit group dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abandoned and neglected guinea pigs. Located in Durham, Connecticut, the rescue was started in early 2004 when its founder, Cindy Kuester, realized that abandoned guinea pigs in our state had nowhere to go. In its first six years of operation, the rescue has placed more than 700 abandoned guinea pigs into new homes!

Hi I've been looking for a guinea pig for a while so I was wondering if you had single female guinea pigs contact me through my email please
Where are you located?
My son found by the garbage a cage with ten guinea pigs and we bought them into our home to keep them safe out of the cold but we can't keep them , my mother is very sick ,she is a cancer patient and we live in an apartment, I wonder if can help us !
Can you SHIP?
Sorry, NO. Please do not contact the owner and ask about shipping guinea pigs. It is NOT possible. Please look for guinea pigs LOCAL to you! That's what this site is for--helping you find a guinea pig close to home to adopt and love.
But I want THAT one!
Yes, that one is adorable and looks just like the one you must have for your very important reason or you will not be able to go on living. But, there are many more in your area that are just as wonderful. Perhaps they are not listed here, but they can be found. The piggy in need waiting for you near your own back yard might look a little different, but could melt your heart anyway!
