Pets in need of homes
Latte and Mocha — Petraits Rescue
Latte and Mocha are a pair of adorable, sweet and fun four-year-old, male smooth coat guinea pig brothers looking for a loving guardian together.
These boys were relinquished to Friends of Petraits Rescue by a family that could no longer care for them.,
Guinea pigs are happiest in pairs, and Latte and Mocha are best friends and have been together since they were babies.
Guinea pigs eat a diet of unlimited Timothy and Orchard hays. They are currently eating just a handful of guinea pig pellets, and a lot of fresh vegetables including romaine, red leaf and green leaf lettuces, cilantro, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, etc. Guinea pigs, just like humans, can’t manufacture their own vitamin C, so they need to supplement with red pepper, orange slices, and many other vitamin C-rich foods.
Please read up on guinea pig care and diet before adopting by visiting this excellent web site http://www.guinealynx.info/.
The boys would love a home with people who will handle them daily, keep them well fed, and keep their habitat nice and clean.
If you’re interested in meeting and possibly adopting Latte and Mocha, please fill out an adoption application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/guinea-pig-adoption-application/ and follow up by e-mailing [email protected] to make an appointment to meet them.
They are being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
Their adoption fee of $75 as a pair benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. For an additional $75, we’ll include a package of absolutely everything you need to care for them including a large cage, pellets, litter, hay, hidey huts, and water bottle.
And, yes … Friends of Petraits is handling masked, minimum contact, socially distant adoptions.
