HSCI has transferred him to K&R Small Animal Sanctuary in OshKosh WI. In order to facilitate transport, he will be spending the next ten days or so in the custody of CatNap from the Heart in LaGrange Park IL. If anyone in the Chicago area is interested...
Unfortunately, privacy issues preclude contacting her - if we could even track her down at this point. Sad, because I'd be willing to bet she would want him back. I have been known to slip my email address to surrendering owners so they have someone who is not bound never to tell others where...
Norway has one of the more dramatic rescue stories I've encountered - one of those that makes me immensely grateful for the role of shelters in our society.
Norway's owner went into her burning apartment to retrieve her two rabbits after the meth lab located in the apartment below exploded...
It's official! Critter Camp is a recipient of $50k in the Pepsi Refresh Contest. WOO HOO! I can't thank those who voted enough. I don't know what we would have done without you.
WE WON! WE WON! WE WON!
All the top ten finalists (Critter Camp was #7)receive funding once Pepsi audits the results to ensure that all votes were cast fairly. Everyone involved is over the moon - especially the newly arrived bug-eyed NZW just saved from death row :)
WOO HOO...

Among Critter Camp's residents are35 bunnies, most of...
Aww, I totally heart Harry! All of the critters you posted, of course, but especially him.
If for some reason his adoption fell through - and I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone wouldn't snap up that cutie in a heartbeat! - you might give him an olive oil rubdown to help ease his dry...
Hi all,

CatNap from the Heart in LaGrange Park, IL (near Brookfield Zoo) is overrun with rabbits! For a short time, we are lowering our adoption fees to $50 for adultbunnies (most are already spayed/neutered, the rest will be) and $25 for our too-young-to-alter-yet babies.
I'm working feverishly to...

Getting me out of rescue would be the easiest thing in the world. Place all the critters who needsomeplace to liveinto safe, knowledgeable homes, now and always. Easy peasy! :P
Craigslist posting with information about all our adoption specials from cats to rabbits to hamsters
We just received an email from an open intakeshelter that doesn't usually need our help begging to take any of a laundry list of small animals. including (hint hint, naturestee) a bunch of black gerbils. We can't accept them until many of the current residents move out. So.... All Your Spare...
I'm stunned that Tequila & Sunrise didn't fly out the door. We have never had true roans in before, and they are BIG and beautiful boys. Pictures do their looks no justice.I'm extra fond of them, and not just because I saved them as their cage was being carried to the euthanasia room.
