VEGETARIAN HOUSE RABBITS NEED VEGETARIAN ADOPTERS TO RESCUE THEM

[Guest guest]

Rabbits make great pets for vegetarian households. You don't like stinky cat

litter? You

can't have cats or dogs in your rental? Share your heart and your veggies with a

pet rabbit

who will fall in love with you! Why have 30 rabbits been neglected at our local

shelter

because they are small and misunderstood? They don't get the attention they

deserve and

need your help right now. Adopt or foster one or two rabbits to save them during

this

difficult time!

 

Our shelter in Santa Cruz, CA recently moved into their new building. The old

building had

room for 12-15 rabbits, but the new one only has room for 6. We did not find

this out

until trying to assemble these new (awful) enclosures. The first week at the new

location,

23 baby and teen bunnies were surrendered by a single person who " accidentally "

allowed

her three rabbits to multiply. Due to the lack of space and general chaos at the

new

shelter, the 23 babies and teens are in transport cages in the garage where they

are

susceptible to myxomotosis with the large door being opened, and allowing diesel

trucks

to come in and park and/or the sweltering heat in the garage if the door is kept

closed –

which it often is while dogs are being prepared to be transported or brought in

by animal

control. Twice now I have arrived in the afternoon to find many bunnies in the

garage

without food or water. The staff are trying but are so overwhelmed and exhausted

from

the move they just cannot handle 30 rabbits right now – the largest amount we

have had

in the 3+ years I have been volunteering/advocating for them.

 

Please if anyone can offer rescue, adoptions, or local foster homes (near Santa

Cruz, CA)

please contact Julie ASAP at home (831.688.8118) or cell (831.212.1935) or

Julie. Please help me save these little guys!

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE SHELTER DIRECTLY!!!

 

More info: During the past year, our shelter has had four huge confiscations of

rabbits,

three major fire evacuations, a move into our new shelter building, and several

huge abuse

and cruelty confiscations for dogs and livestock. We still haven't lost a single

rabbit due to

overpopulation, and we don't want this one irresponsible rabbit owner to change

our

reputation for finding every rabbit a good home. We need your help to handle

this latest

crisis because our funds have been stretched thin during this last year. We care

very much

about these rabbits and are working very hard to make sure that each one gets

the

attention it needs, but we need your help. Most of these rabbits have already

been spayed

and neutered, and some of the babies are too young to be fixed. We have three

gorgeous

adult mini-rex females who are ready to be adopted, and a wonderful female hotot

who

has been with us for six months. We also have a gentle gray female lop. The

babies and

teens are hotot or spotted with gray, white, and brown. Please support these

bunnies

during this difficult time! We are doing our best to save these bunnies before

they are PTS.
