About Patch (bonded To Coco)
Hello, my name's Patch!
I am a big sweetheart who is looking for someone to shower me in love! In return I will show you my amazing popcorning skills and my happy little squeaks.
Like most guinea pigs I don't always leap paws first into new relationships. I would love a furever family who will allow me time and space to settle into my new home. I am happiest with all four paws on the ground, but I do enjoy gentle pats and strokes. With calm, daily handling, I'll gradually become more confident.
I would love lots to do during the day to keep me entertained! I'd love to spend my day running through tunnels and playing in hides. This will help keep me out of mischief. I prefer the indoor lifestyle and would love a home primarily inside but also have some supervised and secure outdoor time on nice days to munch on fresh grass and get some sunshine.
They say two guinea pigs are better than one and luckily, I am bonded to my best friend, Coco. We really enjoy eating, sleeping and playing together!
Because I can be a shy guinea pig, I can be a bit unsure of loud noises and very young children. I may be suitable to live with older kids as long as they are gentle and respect my space.
My long, luscious hair will need your help to keep me looking my best. Regular grooming is a must.
If you're looking for a delightful duo to add to your family, we would be thrilled to meet you! With a little love and patience, we are sure to blossom into confident and happy members of your household!
Adoption details
Our adoption process is designed to match you with the right pet, the first time. Our team are experts at rehoming animals who have specific needs that match your lifestyle, to ensure every adoption placement will last a lifetime.
At our Peninsula site, adoption hours are 12pm – 4pm. You are welcome to attend our reception office without an appointment to begin our adoption process during adoption hours.
The adoption areas are not free to walk through, and you will need to chat with our staff to confirm that a potential adoption is a good match.
Once the adoption has been discussed, a staff member will facilitate a walk-through of the adoption areas or have an animal brought to you in a greeting area.
