About

SFBayArea based California Chins Chinchilla Rescue (cachins.org & chinchillarescue.org) is a very small rescue group founded and run by California Chins, a 501(c)3 organization originally founded in 1998 by Lani Ritchey, Betti Cogswell, and Roxane Beeman.

Our goal is to provide information to people interested in chinchillas, adopting chinchillas as well as, a safe place for chinchillas who need a new home. Many chinchillas are being lost, abandoned or surrendered by owners no longer able to care for them. We take care of their physical and emotional needs so that they may find happy, loving, forever homes.
