It's been a hectic few weeks at Misfits HQ.
Our one and only vehicle broke down and was a repairable write off 🥲 🚗
I've been working two jobs on top of the rescue to pay for the new car, insurance etc 👩‍⚕️ (so apologies to anyone who has had trouble getting in contact with us!).
We had a couple adoptions! 💞
And darling Wednesday went in for another procedure to remove an abscess that had formed. Luckily it was walled off and able to be completely removed due to the skills of our amazing vet Dr Nikki from .exotic.animals.
We are hopeful this will be her last procedure for a while 🤞🤞
After taking a moment to catch our breath, we will be sitting down to plan some exciting things for this year so make sure to follow us on social media to stay updated!
And please encourage your friends and family to adopt not shop. We have lots of beautiful rabbits and guineapigs that are still looking for forever homes 🐰🐹

2025, what a year!
Despite some frustrating health battles which limited our caring capacity, we were able to offer care and sanctuary to 32 animals in addition to animals already up for adoption and current residents.
These species ranged from ducks and ducklings, to rabbits, rats, possums and everything in between!
We had some huge wins, like the release of our Pademelons and Pacific Black Ducklings, and some big losses, like saying goodbye to our darling Jason, the bun who started it all.
Along the way, we met incredible fighters like Wednesday, whose dental treatment remains ongoing.
We also met some amazing supporters, people who helped us immensely along the way and without whom we would be truly lost without.
We honestly could not do this without all of the amazing donors and supporters. We are so thankful for you each and every day.
Wishing everyone a happy New Year and a safe and loving 2026💞

Happy 9th birthday to our sweet queen Mopsy, and first heavenly birthday to our darling Cotton, we miss you so much 💞
Mopsy and Cotton were our first gumtree rescue. Prior to the creation of the rescue, we found them and their two siblings for giveaway on gumtree as babies. After spending lots of time socialising them and completing their vetwork, we found homes for Peter and Flopsy.
Mopsy and Cotton were the most shy of the group and so we opted to keep them. After living with Jason and Gretchen for several years until their passing, Mopsy now lives with two other bush buns who we saved, Bill and Beth.
We weren't sure how she would go after losing her brother several months ago but this trio have proven to be inseparable.
We love you so much Mops!

This little cutie was found in Newnham on Christmas Day and handed in to our local emergency vet. Unfortunately they have had no luck finding an owner and so they asked us if we could take them. We are at full capacity but couldn't say no to that adorable face.
If they belong to you please send us a message including s*x, where they were lost from and proof of ownership.
And please share so we can get them home 🐰

Thankyou SO much to everyone who has bought raffle tickets. It's been a crazy hectic week and I am prioritising getting Santa Paws photos back to people first (I am about 50% through the list) and then I will be getting to raffle tickets! Please be patient!

The Pacific Black ducklings were also released last week! Unfortunately we lost one of them about a month ago, but the remaining two were very happy to be released onto the wetlands and immediately got to the task of grub-hunting!
It's so rewarding to get to return them back to their natural habitat 💞
