My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

How this pet arrived:
Kiwi was brought in by his previous owner on April 13, 2025.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Okay, so picture this: you're sipping a lavender latte and suddenly you realize what's missing from your life. The answer? A duo of aesthetic, veggie-loving fuzzballs named Kiwi (#947438) and Soup (#947437). These two bonded guinea pigs are basically the dream roommate situation. Kiwi is the chill homebody who reads poetry under a haystack. And Soup? Soup is chaos in the most beautiful way. No thoughts, just vibes. You will love him. Let's talk digs: they need space to roam and express themselves. We're talking at least 12 square feet of open-plan enclosure (minimalist, obviously - no weird plastic tubes). Multilevel setups? Nah, not necessary. These dudes are horizontal lifestyle purists. No fish tanks, no cramped prefab cages-they deserve a modern layout with plenty of hay lofts and maybe their own community garden nearby. Their diet is strictly farmer's market chic: unlimited fresh hay, daily greens (kale, cilantro, bell pepper) and limited pellets to keep them feeling their best. No iceberg lettuce. They have standards. Also, let's keep it classy when you come to pick them up. That means a secure carrier. They're not hitching a ride in your canvas tote from the co-op. Soup tried that once and it was... an experience. So if your home has room for two plant-based, free-range potato boys with indie attitudes and heart-melting squeaks, Kiwi and Soup are ready to roll into your life like a slow-motion bicycle ride through Portland. Inquire about adopting them today!
