More about Tulip

Meet Tulip 💕

5-year-old guinea pig | Sanctuary Resident

Hello, I’m Tulip. I’m a 5-year-old guinea pig and a much-loved member of the sanctuary herd here at Keki’s Guinea Pig & Rabbit Rescue.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed age-related arthritis, which means I need a little extra care to stay comfortable. Because of this, I’ll be staying here at the sanctuary where the team can keep a close eye on me and make sure I have everything I need.

Despite this, I’m a happy girl! I love spending time out in the run, enjoying the fresh air, and watching the world go by.

Why I Need Sponsorship 🐾

My arthritis means I need ongoing care and monitoring to help keep me comfortable and mobile.

Sponsorship helps the rescue cover the costs of:

  • Support for my arthritis and mobility needs
  • Regular health checks and monitoring
  • Comfortable bedding and suitable living spaces
  • Daily food, hay, and enrichment

Your support helps ensure I can continue to enjoy life in a safe, calm, and caring environment.

What It Means to Sponsor Me 💚

By sponsoring me, you’re helping to provide my long-term care and comfort as a sanctuary guinea pig.

Sponsorship is a wonderful way to support an older piggy who needs a little extra help.

You can sponsor me for just £5 per month, and every penny goes directly towards my care and the running of the rescue.

What’s Included in Sponsorship 🎁

As my sponsor, you’ll receive:

  • A sponsorship certificate
  • Regular updates about how I’m doing
  • The opportunity to visit me and my sanctuary friends twice a year (by arrangement)
  • The knowledge that you’re helping me stay comfortable and happy

Sponsor Tulip 🐹

If you’d like to help support my care, you can sponsor me by completing the form below or getting in touch with the rescue team.

Thank you for helping me enjoy my days in comfort and sunshine 💕🌷 Tulip

How it works?

At Keki’s Guinea Pig & Rabbit Rescue, we strive to make the adoption process as smooth and transparent as possible. Here’s a summary of our step-by-step guide to help you understand how our adoption and rescue process works:

  1. Step 1: Browse Our Animals

    Explore the available small animals on our adoption pages to find the perfect companion. Please check our requirements for suitable accommodation – which are included in the adoption profile of all our pets.

  2. Step 2: Submit Application

    Fill out our online adoption form or contact our team directly. Please provide details about your home, experience, and confirm that you have read our accommodation requirements.

  3. Step 3: Application Review

    A member of our team will review your application and aim to respond within 24–48 hours to discuss next steps and provide any advice if needed. Please note that applications can only proceed once suitable accommodation is in place.

  4. Step 4: Home Visit

    A member of our team will arrange a home visit to check accommodation and answer any questions. There is a one-off, non-refundable fee of £10 for the home visit.

  5. Step 5: Reserve Your New Pet

    Once your home check is successfully completed, a reservation fee per animal is required. This will be deducted from the final adoption fee.

  6. Step 6: Meet Your New Pet

    We will arrange a meeting with your chosen small animal, either at the rescue or at the foster home. This allows you to see their personality and ensure a good match.

  7. Step 7: Adoption Day!

    If you are happy to proceed, your new furry friend can come home once the final adoption fee is paid.

  8. Step 8: Ongoing Support

    We provide advice and guidance for the lifetime of your pet. Our team is always available to answer questions and provide support after adoption.
