Mom & baby daughters for adoption.

Image
Mom & baby girls -- Agate , flanked by her daughters, Topaz and Opal -- are looking for a home where they can remain together forever. Guinea pigs are very social animals and we're so glad to help mom be able to remain with her babies. Agate , a Crested guinea pig, 1 year of age, was found in a family's backyard, abandoned and pregnant.  She gave birth here and has raised her daughters well, with tender help from staff and volunteers.  Topaz and Opal are 2 months of age. Please come meet and adopt the trio in Nevada SPCA's Lovebugs Room.

We are treasures, not trash.

Pearl Topaz In the early afternoon of September 9, a woman was witnessed throwing a purple suitcase (below) into the dumpster of a veterinary hospital. Later that afternoon, as staff approached the dumpster, they could hear faint screams and cries.  They were horrified to realize the sounds of terror were coming from the purple suitcase and they rushed to retrieve it.  They unzipped it and found two cats inside in severe heat distress and trauma.  They urgently cooled the cats and saved them from heat stroke. For the past 10 weeks, the cats -- now named Pearl and Topaz -- have been recovering well from dehydration.  They are now healthy, spayed/neutered, and triumphantly debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Pet'ographique generously helped us celebrate their recoveries with these elegant portraits to emphasize that they are treasures, not trash. Pearl is a graceful young grey & white shorthair with jewel-like eyes, about 3 years of age...
