Many people have sent money to support CavyMadness. First off, THANK YOU for your support! The cost of running a site has grown in recent years, and keeping CavyMadness online and updated has proved a bit of a task. I am not a nonprofit organization, so your donations are not tax-deductible. Donations help with:

• Server backups and maintenance
• The monthly newsletter, provided via an ad-free service (currently 1250 subscribers)
• The messageboard, via Yuku.com (over $100 each year for 3600+ members)
• Offsetting merchandise costs, allowing me to donate more auction and fundraising items to established rescues.

If you have donated and would like to be featured on this page, please send a photo and your greeting, and I will gladly add you!

Thank you Susan and Wayne for your donation!

Thanks so much for giving us a place to go where other people are as MAD about guinea pigs as us! They are such comforting and companionable creatures. Here is our Fern. She came to us from an MSPCA shelter last spring. She now rules the home!

.... and thank you, Jeff and Ilda, for your support!

hi Tammy and "crowd." Momma loves your newsletter so I told her she should send you "a little something." She promised me that she would not cut back on my treats if she did. :)

From Julie, from whom I adopted Winnie and Gwinnie, after I announced that Winnie had died (April 2007)...

Hi Tammy,
What a shock to me! Though I guess she was getting old. Just not what i expected to find when i opened up my email today! Needless to say, after a bit of crying, i am feeling, well, still sad. I am so glad that you were able to give her a loving home.... I have to THANK YOU for stepping in where i could no longer be a piggie mommy and just know in my heart that she got the care, love, and attention a piggie needs from you. Please send Gertrude/Gwinnie my love and i hope to see you and her at the spring pignic. Thank you again for being a mommy to my girls and taking them in to your madness! If possible, can you dedicate my donation in memory of Winifred? I would so much appreciate it! Thank you!!

Julie

Tammy, you do so much! The pignic, the prizes, the pigtures, the website.... Thank you so much! Your work makes people and piggies lives happier and better. I'm glad you are willing to do all of this.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth C

Thanks Tammy for all your time, energy and money that go into keeping your site up! It is legendary! We love it!

The first pic is of my current cavi, Blacky. I've had him since September 2003. He's 'store-bought', and is the largest cavi I even had (I've constantly had cavies since '76!). The second pic is of my Burmese cat 'mothering' 2 Teddies - Streak (black) and Teddy (brown), back around '95.

The same cat tried to nurse my 'Midnight' back to health. Unfortunately it didn't work. Midnight just couldn't take being left overnight at the vets for neutering - he came home real sick and passed-on within 24 hrs! (But I think you'd appreciate the cat caring for him.)
