Potential fosters: Unfortunately, once the rabbits leave the shelter property, they are technically mine. I could pay for minor veterinary issues, but that's the extent of it. I'm sure the Chicago Ridge vets give them at least a cursory exam before they speuter.
However, depending on the date the "train" leaves, I may be able to just leave them at the shelter until it's time to get them started on their journey. Stay tuned!
bellapsyd, thankyouthankyouthankyou. I'll have to pull out a map, but you may be close to where the rabbits are now (not far from the exit at I-294 & 95th St). If not, I'm sure I can get them to you.

Haley et al., if we could do this next weekend, the timing would probably be just about dead-on perfect. Just let me know. Yes on the five rabbit quantity - more if we think we can manage it AND if the vets can get them done in time. (Unless Leaf can handle having the additional speuters done on her end). FWIW, my ordinary sized car can transport eight with reasonable comfort,as many as ten when I get creative.
gentle giants. I just heard back from the director of Catnap and I believe the proposed exchange is a "go", with her personally making the drive. I'll let you know more when I confirm this news. We're both punch drunk from exhaustion so clarity of communication isn't what it normally would be.
