Cotton has spent his whole life dreaming of his forever home. Can you make his dream come true?

Cotton is a nine-month-old rabbit who was born at the OHS and has never had a family to call his own. He’s a sweet, active and playful rabbit who thrives on plenty of enrichment and enjoys time outside of his enclosure to hop around and explore. His favourite pastimes include snacking on fresh veggies, flopping into cozy spots for a nap and playing with fun enrichment toys like stacking cups.

Sound like your perfect match? Adopt Cotton: https://ow.ly/bLaj50WN7nA
