Sending Christmas gifts to rescues?

[Rivervixen]

Hiya I know it’s a little early but I’m wondering if there’s some sort of event where we could send Christmas gifts or supplies to rescues/charities? Would love to send some hay or a pair of tunnels or something to a rescue or a charity

I'm sure some of our active forum rescues could point you in the right direction if they have things going on for Christmas.

Earlier this year I compiled a list of ways to give to our recommended rescues and myself purchased things from Amazon wishlists to help out during the pandemic. The links are all on this thread https://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/threads/tgpf-recommended-rescues-support-listing.178713/

I know that some of the recommended rescues will do something at Christmas where you can send a gift to a specific long term resident guinea pig. This means that they often get things that the rescue wouldn't normally buy (i usually send things from Piggy Parcels).

The rescues usually do this through their Facebook page, i know last year i sent a couple of gifts, one was definitely to a resident piggy at Cavy Corner.

I don’t use Facebook but I’d happily make an account to send some gifts, piggy parcels is a lovely idea for a gift! Will keep an eye out on the forum and if Facebook is required I’ll sign up

A lot of rescues have Amazon wish lists and our local rescue down here in Cornwall gives people the opportunity to sponsor permanent residents too.

Id call to see if they would accept them. I know my local rescue doesn't even take small animals. But like others said a lot of ones have amazon wish lists but I'd try to support smaller ones just because they have a harder time getting supplies (usually)

Money donations are always well excepted as vets bills can be very high for some rescues x
