Mammit the foster

[katt]

i all!

haley: for sure come over when you are up! winnie will be soo excited about the prospect of someone here to give her treats! and you have to meet the new boys! i think he is a large holland lop. he doesn't have the build of a mini lop, and for sure doesn't have the fur. he is closer in fur and build to a holland. a large holland. he is about 4 pounds right now, and honestly feels like he has another pound worth of weight he could add to his body, but i have seen hollands get this big no problem before!

susan: keeping him is undecided at this point. like i was telling christine, i have a family that would like to meet him already. i am going to give it a few weeks i think before they do, just so i can get to know him better and let him settle in more. the thing with keeping him is that if i do, i won't have enough room to take in another foster. it is majorly up in the air untill he gets fixed and meets this potential family, and well, untill my roommate meets him

christine: you make me smile! knowing that there are people that care as much as she does for the animals that not only come into her rescue, but all animals honestly centers me. when we finally saw each other, she gave me this big great hug and just said "hi katt" and we got mammit all moved around and settled in my car, then she went right into "okay, this is the story about the other bunny" and we talked a few minutes about ideas on breed and how to get it out! she is all about the animals, and it really does warm my heart to meet someone like that!

okay, i am off to work! or i will be late! more photos to come tonight!

[christinelea1]

OH MY GOSH, my goodness!! If I didnt know better this photo looks JUST LIKE OUR LITTLE Mammit!!!
ADORABLE!!!!

 

[Haley]

Im coming up your way Thursday and I'll be there until Friday. Let me know if/when you'll be around and Id love to stop by! Do you need some hay or anything else from down this way?

 

[katt]

hey haley!

i work from 10:45 am to 7:30 pm. both days

if you wanted to come out thrusday after work and meet the boys and see miss winniethat would be fine by me! or before i work on friday!

i think that i am good with hay and all. wish i had the money for you to pick me up a big bag of oxbow, but i don't right now!

oh, and i have all those NIC grides for midwest if you have room to take them!

anywho, let me know!

 

[christinelea1]

Hi there....Gosh I have been very worried...I have been so busy with animals...I just dont know whether I am coming or going. Please let me know Mammit is doing well ok? Clover's fur is coming back some on her face now:) From Mammit licking her through the fence she lost her fur(he was probably grabbing the fur too but SHE LET HIM!! and still liked to visit with him by the fence daily) ...
Katt upon going through everything again, I was wanting to say I am so sorry about Issabelle and so bummed about her too...OH Golly....it is upsetting to me that she passed and could not be saved:( Ok another pet surrenderer is here-gotta go, more ratty babies cometh!!!!

 

[katt]

hey christine!

thought i would update the blog instead of sending you back a pm as that way everyone else gets and update on Mammit as well!

he is doing good, no great! we are really in love with him, i need to snap some photos for everyone to see! he likes me, but LOVES my roommate, since he is living in her bedroom it really doesn't surprize me!

so far the family we thought would be a good fit for him isn't really going to work. i just don't think he would be ideally happy there, but we are still giving it time so i can get to know his personality and allow the family to meet him!

i haven't schedualed the neuter yet, but hope to sometime within the next month, i would really like to give him more time to adjust to our house before we put him thru surgery.

last night jessica(my roommate) and i had him out playing in her bedroom and he was running everywere. no binkies yet, but he sure does love his dead bunny flops! he scared me to death the second day by full out dead bunny flopping and deciding he wasn't going to wake up when i called his name. the rabbit sleeps thru everything! i guess that is the classic lop attitude!

so, now on to you, any more information about the bunny at the humane society? how are you doing? more ratties?? oh my word you sure are a busy bee!

katie

ps- yes, izabelle was tragic, it was hard to work so hard to keep her alive only to have her reach a point of no return. i know she was in pain, so there is some form of happiness that she is no longer feeling that pain.

I just have to say again - this is one cute bunny. I sure am glad that you're helping him....

Hi Its me Christine- and in case you didnt know already Katt and her roomate have decided to adopt beloved little Mammit and give him a forever home. They have also decide to rename him Leo(short for Leopold). I am very happy about it though I really miss him...and Emmy and Chessy too well and Maddison, Tonybunny and so many many more adopted out from the CritterCafe. Mammit though, had/has a very special character...I called him the GoldenRetrieverDog of bunnys because he was so handsome and gallant with such a neat bunny personality! Katt will say too, something is very special about Mammit!! I am one that truly LOVES them all and still saw the uniqueness of this little guy.So we, Katt and I, are working out the details. CritterCafe has a LifeCare contract to adopt to help insure that ALL the pets adopted from here get into only the best homes.Katt will fill out one too, for records only as I know from following her at RO she is a great bunny home...What a wonderful venue Rabbis Online has become to this rescue. The transport of Em and Chessy, allowing me to save Mammit and LuLu from being euth'd, and the fostering/adoption too of Mammit, now Leo....all orchestrated because of the people here at Rabbits Online forum(s).I cant thank you all enough and I am so glad I found you! Lets keep 'er going and SAVE MORE BUNNIES!!!! OH and take a second to vote at Hallmark cards for "BunnyPileUp". Here is that link: http://www.hallmarkcontests.com/vote/
The picture is really adorable and this gal that did the pic,her friend will be coming to meet LuLu this weekend to consider adopting her...which will allow me to go FORWARD and save MORE!!!There is another sweet bun at the HumaneSociety(HI*KILL) already and I am desperate to get her or him OUT OF THAT HELL ASAP. Ok then, thats all I got for now. Email me personally if you have ANY questions [email protected] also check out all of our adoptables at http://www.CCCandR.petfinder.org. Please know too I have MANY species available-Rattys, cats and kittys, dogs/pups, colonies of degus, hammys, and guineas too....and birds though only 2 at this time. PLEASE NOTE***I have many many darling baby rattys needing homes right now. Email me with any questions or if I can help you somehow! Please know I will post your pets at my petfinder(and other) site(s) to help you responsibly rehome your pet if you need to.. I will let you use my LifeCare contract to adopt which is a legal and binding document FOR THE SAFETY of your pet's possible new home and future!! I will guide you through the steps of safe rehomeing so your pet gets only the best..I want that for each and every pet. Ok that said, God bless you. Bunny nose bumps to you Sincerely, Christine and all the beloved pets at the Cafe~

 

[katt]

well! it looks like christine has beat me to the wonderfull news!

Mammit, now Leopold is going to be a full resident to life with winnie and Pantoufle. we hope that we can bond him with winnie by then end of summer. and are also praying that we can add pantoufle to the pair to form a wonderfull bunny trio.

christine gives thanks to RO and everyone all the time, and it really touches my heart. but what i don't think is said enough is how much thanks i personally give her. she is honestly a bone-deep animal lover that would do anything and go to any length to help or save an animals life.

tonights leopold story:

the other day (okay, like yesterday) i get home and am charged by jessica, my roommate, with camera in hand. she instantly blurts out "you HAVE to see these photos" and i instantly go "oh geeze what did winnie get into now. . .?" as it seems to always be winnie that causes funny, yet chaotic photo-worthy moments. but am corrected to say "you won't believe what our little Leopold did today"

pause, camera turns on, she hits the review button and smiles wide while handing me the camera and states "i think he wants to join the circus or build a castle or something"

"i think someone is here"

"oh, hi!"

"yeah, i did that"

"don't you think it is neat?"

"almost as cool on this side to!"

so apparently jessica righted the bowl sent the tinkle toy rolling away and filled his dish with food. she left for about 15 minutes and came back to this:

"ha ha! you didn't stop me!"

then she asked "what are you going to do when your hungry? how will you eat with the tinkle ball in your dish?"

"well, you see, i will just eat around it!"

 

[christinelea1]

I cannot believe this bunny!!! He makes me so very happy I LAUGHED A BELLY LAUGH WHILE LOOKING THROUGH TEARS AT THIS POST FROM KATT ON/OF MAMMIT-LEOPOLD BUNNY!!!! It is JUST behumbling, bedazzling an' the most wonderful! I am so happy now.

 

[Haley]

Aww he is such a cutie- Im so glad youre keeping him! He reminds me a lot of Max 2.0 here- they seem to have the same big goofy lop personality.

Congrats to you both on this match made in heaven. Hes a lucky dude!

 

[tonyshuman]

what a smart little bugger! and I knew you wouldn't be able to let that face go!

 

[christinelea1]

Hi wonderful bunny loving peoples!! Happy HOPPY UP AND COMING EASTER!!!!!

I know...I ask for help...I ask again...and again.

But 2008 has been a terrible year for rabbits.

Many of you helped with the "shed bunnies".

Now, there are three more groups of bunnies in NJ that need help:



A NJ rescuer has become overwhelmed, and now needs rescue.   Originally, 

there were over 60 rabbits in small cages, and no way to have time  out for play.  

Over the past couple weeks, some have found foster  homes.  Not sure of the 

exact number still needing foster homes, but it's  still a large number.  Many 

are already spayed/neutered, and all appear to  be in good health.  Some are 

"cage possessive" because of being stuck in  cages 24/7.  All sizes, ages,
and 

breeds.   The Animal Control  Officer involved in this rescue will transport 

rabbits here to be picked up, or  directly to foster homes.  



50 rabbits in Burlington County.  Were being raised in horrid  conditions as 

"Easter Bunnies", but were confiscated by Animal Control.   They are now in 

VERY temporary housing in carriers and such in someone's  garage.  I can put you 

in touch with person helping these bunnies.  I  have pics of this...just 

horrible.



10+ bunnies loose in horse farm field.   Long story.  Bottom  line is there 

have been a few litters, born "feral" and running around a  field.  Afraid
of 

people.  I am in the process of helping the guy  trying to catch these bunnies. 

Will be looking for understanding foster  homes for these guys as they are 

caught.



Please understand, I can't squeeze anymore in here, as I am at  capacity...

But, I have access to things that may help someone be able to foster.   

Ex-pens, indoor cages, general supplies.  Can arrange transport to homes.  Can help 

with spays/neuters if you are local to my vet in Cream Ridge.

What we NEED:  donations of things I mentioned above: gently used  cages, 

CareFresh bedding, heavy crock bowls, donations toward  spays/neuters.

Donations can be made to my vet over the phone with a charge card  (Cream 

Ridge Pet Care Center - 609-758-7777 - just say it's for Kind Heart  Rescue); or 

by _www.paypal.com_ ([url=http://www.paypal.com/]http://www.paypal.com[/url])  (our ID is 

_[url=http://webmail.wmis.net/src/compose.php?send_to=KindHeartRescue%40aol.com][email protected][/url]_ (mailto:[url=http://webmail.wmis.net/src/compose.php?send_to=KindHeartRescue%40aol.com][email protected][/url]) ), or mailed  to: Kind
Heart Rescue, 3 

Hyacinth Court, Cream Ridge, NJ 08514

All donations are tax-deductible.  

Please, if you can help in any way, contact me, we'll find a way for you to  

help!

for the feral bunnies in the field, i know of a rescue/sanctuary in whittaker, MI that has a large number of feral bunnies they got from nevada. this might be a good place to put the feral bunnies for the remainder of their days:

how bout an update????

i am sure that christine would love one!

first, yes, i am still adopting him. he name started as mammit, that we decided we like leopold, and well, it has finally changed once more for keeps to toulouse (sounds like two-loose), but i often call him sean connery as i wanted to call him that.

but toulouse it is! and it fits perfect with pantoufle as it is french!

anyway, he is good, goes in for his neuter april 2nd! and i am kinda nervous!

but anyway, enough chit-chat. . . how bout some photos!

"i want all my presents wrapped in this paper please!"

the ultimate dead bunny flop. . . the great thing about him is that he is a lazy bunny, i could slam the door and he would just keep right on sleeping

[SnowyShiloh]

Aww, he's so cute and I'm really glad you'll be keeping him! The pictures are adorable and his circus act is hilarious. He looks like a good bunny to hug, is he a cuddler? So sweet. And may we have a Pantoulfe and Winnie update too? I miss seeing them. How much does Pantoulfe weigh now?

 

[SOOOSKA]

He's adorable. You are very brave letting him walk around all those wires.
