NY-Tompkins County SPCA-EIGHT frickin' pigs!

Tompkins County SPCA in Ithaca, NY has eight, count em, eight guinea pigs for adoption. They're not up on the website, but one of the animal heroes over at GuineaLynx got an email about them.

Here's what is known: there are four girls and four boys. All abbys. One girl has a crazy hairdo like a mohawk down her back. Almost all of them are TSWs (patches of black, red and white), but one of the males might be a lilac red and white. They are thought to be 3-5 months old.


All the males are currently adoptable. The girls are all on pregnancy watch and can't be adopted yet because of that. The poor girls are living in the bathroom of the SPCA's rescue building (blame the sources of the homeless animal population, not the shelter)

They need fosterers, donations, and people to adopt these adorable young boars! And people to adopt the sows in two months--and maybe some cute little babies.

Oh have I forgotten to post how they got to the shelter? Apparently they were "strays" some folks found in their backyard, then brought to the shelter. Either someone threw them in to their yard (this happens way too often), or some folks aren't telling the truth.
