RSPCA launch appeal after guinea pigs found abandoned in a FREEZER BAG

Thankfully a passer-by thought it was odd to see a freezer bag hanging on the construction site door frame and decided to investigate. After finding the terrified guinea pigs huddled inside, she kindly brought them to her home and cared for them whilst waiting for us to arrive.

We are very relieved the guinea pigs were spotted. If they'd been left there for more than a day it’s unlikely they would have survived.

Times are tough right now, but we urge anyone who is struggling with caring for an animal to reach out for help. However difficult things are, abandoning pets like this is irresponsible and cruel.

This is not the first call out we’ve had to this area, we also rescued an abandoned kitten a few weeks ago not far from this site - and we’re worried the cost of living crisis could be the cause of these heartless actions.

If anyone recognises these gorgeous guinea pigs or has any useful information, they can ring the RSPCA confidentially at 0300 123 8018.

Serious money worries mean even the most loving owners are concerned about caring for their pets. Sadly we predict that even more animals will be abandoned or neglected as the cost of living crisis continues to bite.

To those able to do so, please help us to protect animals from the cost of living crisis this winter. Please visit our webpage to join the Winter Rescue and help our rescuers be there for animals in need.
