Cavy Haven's ultimate goal is the permanent placement of our rabbits in safe, loving indoor homes. Adoption counseling, visitation, and education services are provided to the public at adoption events held several times each month. We are 100% foster based, therefore, our rabbits may be seen at these shows at Pet Pals (Santa Cruz) or at Pet People (Los Gatos). See schedule of show dates below. We are happy to work with you to help you by making a special appointment for you to meet with cavies of your choice at one of our adoption shows.
We require that all cavy caretakers provide permanent homes, a safe environment, proper food, grooming, medical attention, and the love and support essential to the cavy's well-being. Cavy Haven only adopts to families who agree to keep animals indoors. Outside arrangements are not possible due to exposure to the elements, inadequate contact with their families, exposure to disease agents, such as the very deadly Myxomatosis, and predators that will harm the rabbit.
All new adoptive families receive personal adoption assistance from a Haven counselor, a free first vet exam, discount coupons from area pet supply retailers, a complete animal care education packet, animal nail trims, and a home heath check demonstration. Below you can find information about the bunnies available for adoption.
