Background Story:
Iggy was sadly found in a basement by a neighbor who was pet-sitting the resident dog. No instructions were left about caring for the chinchilla, but luckily, she was found in good health and probably just in time. The residents of the home wanted to re-home this darling girl anyway, so the kind neighbor took her in and contacted us for help. She was believed to be around 3 years old at the time (Spring 2026).
We were able to offer Iggy a safe space at our Sanctuary after a recent chinchilla adoption. We are still getting to know this lovely chinchilla, but we’re so grateful that we were able to provide Iggy with a safe place to land where she can feel nurtured and loved. We will go at her pace since it’s unknown what stressors she’s had to deal with in her past. Welcome, Iggy!
Adoption Info:
Darling Iggy arrived at our sanctuary in April 2026 and is around 3 years old. She came to us from a situation where she was not getting any social time living in a basement by herself. She has opened up since being with us and is just a lovely girl. While she still enjoys the safety of snuggling under her fleece blanket she is inquisitive when people enter her room and will happily take treats from your hands. She also enjoys scratches around her face! Iggy is looking for a quiet home where she can continue to gain confidence and get the attention she deserves.
