Welcome

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.

Cindy and her rescue have already placed more than 600 abandoned guinea pigs into new homes. We have several dozen more pigs that are currently looking for new permanent homes.

Please take time to browse our Web site, learn our story, and check out our adoption postings. If you're interested in helping out, but are unable to adopt a pet at this time, we also welcome donations of money, food, and supplies. You can find more information on our Adoptions and How To Help pages.

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of July 8, 2008, the rescue is once again full and unable to take in guinea pigs. We need your donations, and your time, to help cover the care of the guinea pigs. Please visit our How To Help page for more information. Thank you!
