"The goldfish was in a tank only half full with water which was evaporating and sadly a fifth Guinea pig had already died.
"I find it difficult to understand how anyone could just walk away and leave their pets behind with no one to care for them, when there are options out there for people."
Once the guinea pigs and goldfish have recovered, the ISPCA will be seeking permanent homes for the animals.
In the meantime, the group are appealing for more people to foster the animals currently in their care to give them an environment that is less stressful and busy than the animal centre.
"Fostering is a great way to help timid or nervous animals," they said.
"What they really need is some quiet space so they can adjust to their new surroundings and get over their ordeal in their own time."
