Kavee Rescue Fun Facts

Piggy Numbers
The Kavee Rescue is home to a whooping 80 to 90 guinea pigs at any given time. Just imagine the amount of treats we go through every day!
Most of these floofs come to the Rescue for some TLC before meeting their new piggy parents. Others have special needs, so they get to spend their lives on the Isle of Wight.
Kavee Cages
The Rescueâs setup includes 27 Kavee cages for male piggies, and one extra large cage for the sows. Yep, weâre sure you can imagine that thatâs a lot of fleece liners to wash. Itâs important our floofers have fresh, clean cages at all times.


Kavee Klean
To keep our cages wheeky clean, we wash around 10 to 12 loads of fleece liners and accessories every day. We also use up around 3 litres of Kaveeâs laundry detergent every wheek. All to keep our piggies happy and healthy!
Kleaning Kages
And weâre not only going through a lot of detergent (and, actually, washing machinesâŚ). It also takes up most of our days to keep the piggiesâ palaces clean. The large female cavy cage alone takes several hours to clean. After that, itâs treat time for hoomans and piggies!


Piggy Snack Attack
Guinea pigs are affectionately known as walking stomachs because they eat non-stop. Now, how much food do 90 piggies go through? Beware, the numbers may shock you! Every week, we go through 25 to 30 kg of hay, 15 to 20 kg of pellets, and around $80 worth of fresh veggies. Yes, we go to the store a lot.
Success Stories
And although we work from dawn to dusk every day, itâs all worth it when we match a piggy parent with their best furry friends. In 2022, we helped 70 sweet cavies find their furever home - itâs so special to be part of this journey.
