    Michiko Vartanian, Cavy Haven CEO, had this to say about last year’s SoCal Pignic:<\/p>\n

    “We raised enough to feed our fosters for several months and take care of some medical needs! It was a huge success all the way around. … And we have several who are interested and filling out [adoption] applications.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Costume Contest: Must-See Squee<\/h2>\n

    Of all the cavy-centric activities available during Pignic, the guinea pig costume contest was probably the most popular. To give you an idea of this event’s level of squee<\/em>, the 2012 contest entries included an angel, a butterfly, a rabbit, a convict piggy, a witch, a Harley piggy, and more.<\/p>\n
