Home

This rescue was started because of the overwhelming love and respect one woman has for the intelligence, beauty and trust that animals show on a daily basis.

Since September 2003, we have been a non-profit, NO KILL, full time volunteer based rescue which has provided a safe haven for unwanted and neglected chinchillas. We have always and continue to do adoptions for many of our wonderful rescues. We have become more of a Sancuary and permanent home over the years to many of the chinchillas we have taken in. We will always be a Rescue and we take in many chinchillas every year. This has consisted of medical care, a spacious and clean living environment, a healthy diet, exercise, rehabilitation (physical, emotional & behavioral) and of course unlimited love. We started with one woman that had a life changing experience with animals and found herself looking down a life path that she had to follow. Our rescue is devoted exclusively to chinchillas and we are the only full time chinchilla rescue in the New England area.

WE DO NOT BREED CHINCHILLAS. WE ARE STRICTLY RESCUE ONLY. We will travel to MA, NH, RI, VT, areas of ME, NY, PA and of course throughout CT, to pick up chinchillas in need of a home.

Mission Statement

We provide a healthy, loving home for unwanted and neglected chinchillas with permanent housing in our rescue and through adoptions. We counsel the public about the physical and emotional needs of chinchillas, so they learn how to provide them with a healthy, safe and happy life. We strive to spread the word about their over breeding, health issues caused by careless breeding and the homeless crisis that is so prevalent for chinchillas. We also provide awareness of the hardships and mass breeding of chinchillas on ranches for the pelting and pet industries.

Chinchillas are very happy, feisty critters and have a tremendous amount of energy. Our wish is that all chinchillas, domestic and wild, live very long, healthy and safe lives and that soon they will be appreciated for their intelligence and inner beauty and no longer sacrificed for their outer beauty. We hope that they can always live to be FOREVER FEISTY CHINCHILLAS.

Our Beliefs & Principles

We do NOT breed chinchillas or any animals.

We are a NO kill organization.

We support ADOPTION of all animals first before purchasing from breeders or pet stores.

We are AGAINST PELTING of all animals.

We do not support breeding of domesticated chinchillas.

We are advocates against animal abuse/neglect of any kind.

The chinchilla's physical and mental wellbeing is always our TOP PRIORITY. We highly encourage all chinchilla guardians to educate themselves fully about these beautiful and wonderful animals. New knowledge is being gained all the time to better care for them.

All animals started out as wild. No animal has ever asked nor sought to be domesticated and kept in a confined environment. We have chosen to take animals out of their natural habitat and make them dependant upon us. They are our friends and part of our family as we are their human companions, caretakers and guardians of their lifestyle & survival. No one owns another living creature. Therefore, guardian is our choice to use when referring to the human in a chinchilla's life.
