Back in October 2017 I flew to the Guinea Pig Fall Festival in Los Angeles to help and see the NorCal 700 piggies (sows rescued from a hoard, majority of them were pregnant). In one of the converted horse stalls turned into a piggie stall I spotted one sow who looked like my first rescue guinea pig who passed away 2 years ago.

The next day I flew back home (Colorado) and told my fellow rescue friend that I wanted to adopt her so she went to the rescue to look for her among the 700 sows. She didn't spot her and she asked another person, turns out my other friend decided to foster her. She picked her up to foster while she delivers. I waited for nearly 3 + months. After her babies were weened she became adoptable. My friend also fostered another piggie to pair her up with a teddy (I've always wanted for years and she remembered that, and she was the only teddy among the 700).

I flew to Los Angeles on Saturday morning, did some volunteering at the rescue for a couple of hours and flew back the same day. It was great seeing a lot of my friends at the rescue.

Now I have 2 new sows, one is barely a year old who gave birth to 3 pups and the other is only 4 months old.


I don't have any pictures of them at the moment, giving them some time to adjust. I plan to do introductions today.
 
Congratulations! They have the most wonderful home with you and when they and yourself are ready I cannot wait to see pigtures of them. Have you thought of names? So exciting!
 
That’s great news. You must be so happy. Looking forward to seeing pictures. :tu:
 
congratulations ! you have done a lot of traveling.will have the best home with you.i eagerly await some pigtures ! x
 
Here are the two pictures of Mocha and Latte.

Mocha is a silkie mix, she is less than one years old and already gave birth to 3 pups (2 girls, 1 boy). Her daughters already found a home and her baby boy was paired with another NorCal newborn.

Both girls were fostered by one my friend (she has a youtube page - Valerie Zoos), she fostered both along with other pregnant females. Valerie knew I've always wanted a teddy and she saw Latte she decided to pair her up with Mocha during pregnancy watch.

She took Latte along with another piggie she was fostering to the vet for xrays she found out Latte wasn't pregnant so we were just waiting for Mocha to deliver and ween her babies.

Both girls had zero problems with introductions into the herd. They got to meet and live with Buttercup for a week.

Btw it was the easiest introduction. The herd just openly accepted the both.
