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...

Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary in German Valley IL, which houses over300 previously unwantedanimals, is in serious contention for a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Contest - but it needs your support to win a much-needed spot in the top ten. Among Critter Camp's residents are35 bunnies, most of...

Hi all, I had a transport all lined up for three bunnies and three rats from a shelter in Chicago Ridge IL to travel to Bloomington IL yesterday. My transporter flaked out on me, and if I don't get these animals to the new shelter soon, I fear they may lose their slots. Does anyone know...

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...

If you've been considering adopting from CatNap, now is the best time ever! From now until the new year, all of our spayed/neutered & microchipped rabbits who have been with us more than 30 days have had their adoption fees lowered to just $25! We have some really wonderful buns who want a home...

We at CatNap from the Heart took in as many needy bunnies as we could during the critical late August/early September period, but now we have too much of a good thing. From giants to dwarves, lionheads to lops - we have it all! To get these buns into homes and encourage responsible, lasting...

I know there are a lot of Flemmie fans on the board so I wanted to get the word out about Alex, a light gray six month old boy I transferredto CatNapfrom Chicago Ridge yesterday. OMG, is he cool!All bunnies are special, but this one is in a class of his own. He looks and galumpfs like ayoung...

A friend sent this to me and I haven't stopped laughing. So accurate it could only have been written by a diehard rescuer: K-9 and Feline Rescue Barbie

Hi everyone, Subject line and description tell the tale. CatNap has asked me to create an adoption contract for small animals and birds. Currently they're using the same contract for both cats and everything else, and since it was originally written for the cats a lot of it doesn't apply, but...

Hello everyone, As those who frequent the Rescue Me section are aware, CatNap from the Heart has been an essential partner in saving many rabbits fromChicago-area open intake shelters, pluspregnant rabbits other shelters have refused, and local strays too. Although CatNap does not bill itself...

Hi guys, As most of you know, <a href="http://www.catnapfromtheheart.org">CatNap from the Heart</a> has been instrumental in getting bunnies out of high kill shelters and into loving homes. The shelter's gotten a bit crowded lately so they are reducing adoption fees by 50% to get buns where...

Hi guys, Another week, another crop of rabbits at AWL. Decided to make one megathread, as was done in the past, to keep these bunnies in everyone's thoughts without cluttering the board with lots of threads. I do have - drumroll please! - permission to take pictures! Huzzah! Huzzah! At the...

Hi guys, Bunnies are starting to pile up at South Suburban Humane Society so I'm here to help get out the word. These critters are not on Petfinder or the shelter's web site as these venues are currently being revamped. My computer woes prevent me from posting pictures but I do have some.If...

"Rambo" was abandoned and subsequently taken in by the Petco store in Mt. Prospect for re-homing. Apparently he does have a habit at nipping fingers stuck through the bars of his cage, as is his right! You can see him during normal business hours at: Petco 1018 Mount Prospect Plaza Mount...

Hi guys, I know, I keep saying this is my last post on behalf of the Chicago Ridge rabbits, but I can't stop myself. So much need, so few adoptions. I've mentioned this boy before, but I learned today he will be the first to the back room, and soon. I also remembered that I have a rare...

Check out these two gorgeous hunks of big bunny love waiting at South Suburban Humane Society for their forever homes! Both are said to be very friendly but would benefit from some additional socialization. Flemish Giant(ish) girl. Pictures don't do her justice. She is gorgeous! Big...

I'm still not doing rescue until November - really, I'm not! - but when I was at Chicago Ridge to return some supplies, I couldn't prevent myself from walking into the bunny room and having my heart sink to my shoes at the number of bunnies in house. They're allowed six. There are at least...

Hi guys, I called Chicago Ridge this morning at 7 a.m., contrary to my usual custom. Good thing I did, because there were six rabbits sitting outside the euthanasia room awaiting their 7:15 a.m. execution. Much scrambling to save their lives ensued, and forum member Leaf once again stepped...

(In No. IL - silly me forgot to include this information in the title) I pulled Fiona from a low-kill but "at capacity" shelter for someone who changed her mind before even meeting her. I was prepared for that possibility, and Fi has a place with me for as long as it takes - which may...
