Quote function hates me today for some reason, so will try to address all of Leaf's points. (Also, check your email)
Chicago Ridge will almost certainly lend us cat carriers for transport purposes. They're very supportive of rescue work, and excellent at setting up carriers with water bottles, hay, etc. The equoment would need to be broken down and shipped back, but parcel post or UPS ground would be fine.
With enough lead time, I can get any rabbit old enough speutered before it leaves. Once it's speutered, I'm committed to take it (unless another adopter steps in) so I need firm holds before I ask. I've already requested spays on the blind girl and the REW girl since their vets have more trouble working those into their schedules than neuters.
Regarding the adoptability of the lionheads, I'm shocked that they're almost all still there. I would have thought they'd be some of the first to go, but they're just waiting. I don't get it.
As far as other adopters stepping in, my usual arrangement with Chicago Ridge is that unless I tell them otherwise about a specific rabbit, they are free to adopt them out if someone else wants them. I'm there to help find homes for the ones that otherwise won't, not stand in the way of an adoption, unless a particular rabbit is going to a home that had specific requests. Since most of what I handle go to other rescues or shelters, that hasn't been much of an issue.
I believe Kato and Fudgie are on hold to go to a home together, but my information on that point was a little soft. Will know more in a few days.
Appreciate your being open to tag-alongs, especially since Catnap may be getting in a blind bunny shortly.
Haley[/i], do you have any sense of how many rabbits the transporters can manage? And gentle giants, will you be adding any to the run? I don't want to overload anyone's vehicle or comfort level.
