We’re on the ferry heading home tonight after another big day at the vet, and we have so much to share!
All 8 surgeries were successful! 🥹
But there’s a little behind-the-scenes story we need to tell you…
Earlier this week, we were called out to Beban to trap a bunny with a very goopy eye. A little like our old friend Kizu, but a girl! We successfully caught the bunny we were called out for, but while we were there, we spotted another rabbit with a severely broken rear leg.
We knew we couldn’t leave her behind.
It took some help, persistence, and a couple of days, but we finally got her safely into rescue, too.
We’ll call her Goldie (and you’ll know why soon).💛
Meanwhile, we had been trying to find a suitable friend for Tawny, with absolutely no luck. We had introduced her to several possible companions, but nothing seemed to click.
Then Goldie came back to the rescue.
Despite having a badly broken leg that was essentially dangling, this little sweetheart hopped FOUR FEET straight into Tawny’s enclosure. And just like that, they found each other.
They’ve been getting along ever since.
If reincarnation could happen in a couple of days, this would be it. Two girls who needed a little extra love finding exactly what they needed in one another. ❤️
Today, both girls were spayed. During Tawny’s surgery, the vet also discovered cancer in her uterus, just as we had suspected. We are SO incredibly grateful we got her spayed when we did. We may have caught it just in time.
Goldie was also assessed for her broken leg and the recommendation is amputation. It is the best chance at giving her a comfortable, pain-free future.
However, putting her through both procedures today would have been too risky. She needs some time to recover, and we need some time to raise the funds to get her the surgery she desperately needs.
AND THIS IS WHERE WE NEED OUR COMMUNITY.
💔 We have a BIG fundraising goal ahead of us.
We anticipate Goldie’s amputation could cost up to $2,000, on top of treating the original eye condition that brought us to Beban in the first place.
We have dozens of other rabbits who still need spays, neuters, vaccinations, and medical care. The veterinary bills never stop, but neither does the need for rescue.
Here’s something to think about:
If our 5,000 supporters donated $2, we’d raise $10,000 for the rescue.
Imagine what that could do. Imagine how many rabbits we could help, how many lives we could change, and how many little ones like Goldie could get the second chance they deserve.
There are so many ways to help:
🐰 E-transfer directly to [email protected]
🐰 Donate through the DONATE button on our website.
🐰 Contact our clinics to contribute directly toward Goldie’s medical care.
🐰 Purchase supplies for our rescue like hay and bedding.
🐰 Sponsor one of our rabbits or contribute toward their care.
🐰 Businesses can become rescue sponsors! We’d love to recognize and feature local businesses who step up as partners in our work. Email us to learn more.
Every dollar matters. Truly.
We are a small volunteer-run rescue caring for more than 60 rabbits, and we simply cannot keep doing this without the generosity of our community.
Today was a reminder of why we do this. Tawny has a second chance. Goldie has a friend, a safe place, and a plan for a better future. Several more bunnies are beginning new chapters in new homes and others are ready to find their families.
But there are so many more waiting.
We need you. And we need you now more than ever. ❤️
Thank you for being part of our village. Let’s get Goldie the new beginning she deserves. 🐰💛
