Wellington's welcoming guinea pig community since 2021
The Capital Cavy Club is a Wellington-based, non-profit organisation and part of the Independent Cavy Clubs of New Zealand. Established in 2021, the club welcomes pet owners, pedigree exhibitors, breeders and guinea pig enthusiasts of all ages. With a focus on education, responsible care and community involvement, the club brings people together through a shared love of cavies.
Fun, friendly and educational shows for everyone
Capital Cavy Club holds regular pet and pedigree guinea pig shows throughout the Lower North Island, many alongside the New Zealand Cavy Club. From competitive pedigree classes to fun pet competitions, these events offer something for everyone. Beginners are always welcome, with experienced members happy to offer advice and support.
More than just a guinea pig club
Capital Cavy Club brings together people who share a passion for guinea pigs. From experienced breeders and exhibitors to families and first-time pet owners, the club creates opportunities to learn, compete, build friendships and enjoy being part of New Zealand's cavy community.
Open to individuals, families and junior members
Membership is open to anyone interested in guinea pigs, whether they are experienced exhibitors or simply enthusiastic pet owners. Members can participate in shows, enjoy club activities and connect with other cavy enthusiasts. Membership forms and club rules are available on the Capital Cavy Club website.
Locations for Club Shows
Capital Cavy Club's home venue is St Pius X School Hall in Titahi Bay, Porirua. The club also holds shows in Upper Hutt, Foxton and other locations throughout the Lower North Island, making events accessible to exhibitors and guinea pig enthusiasts from across the region.
Sharing the joy of guinea pigs
Beyond the show table, Capital Cavy Club brings guinea pigs into the community through visits to schools, rest homes, hospitals, hospices and universities. Its popular Cuddles with the Cavies sessions provide opportunities for people to enjoy animal interactions while learning about guinea pig care and responsible ownership.
Bringing Wellington's cavy community together since 2021
Established in 2021, Capital Cavy Club was formed to create a welcoming community for guinea pig enthusiasts in Wellington. Since then, the club has grown its show programme, developed strong relationships with fellow independent cavy clubs and expanded its community outreach activities, promoting guinea pig welfare, education and showing throughout the region.
