Carmen

Posted in Adoptables at 4:01 pm by Lori

Are you ready for some sizzle in your life? This lovely girl is full of spice!

Carmen is a gorgeous English spot mix girl who loves to be in on the action! She has many interests that she enjoys spending time at everyday- running, digging, playing with her toys, and redecorating, to name a few. Her favorite thing of all, however, is staying alert to the goings on of the household to make sure she doesn’t miss out on anything!

Carmen would do best with a family who can give her lots of space, and is bunny experienced. We will gladly assist her new parents in discovering entertaining ways to channel her energy into appropriate activities.

For more information about Carmen, please contact us at Friendly Farms. Carmen has been spayed.

Oliver

Posted in New news! at 2:04 pm by Lori

Hello! My name is Oliver, and I would like nothing more than to come out and play! My foster mom says I still have a lot of healing to do though, so I have to play quietly by myself for awhile yet!

I was found stray and came to the shelter with a huge lump on my side! The vet says it looks like a cat bit me twice, and the wounds got infected. She took 3 cups of pus out of those wounds the first day!

Lots of times young bunny boys like me who aren’t neutered get into trouble with cats because we want a girlfriend really bad, and if a girl bunny isn’t around, we go after the cat! All our humans have to do is take us to the vet and get us neutered when we are 3 or 4 months old, and it saves us all a lot of headaches! And we are better with a litter box once we are neutered as well!

The shelter asked Friendly Farms if they would help me, and so I visited their vet last week and had surgery to remove my abscesses. One of them was very deep and had to be left open so it can be flushed out everyday. The flushing is not fun, and I don’t like the medicine I have to take everyday one bit, but I am okay with the hot compresses and all of the kisses and strokes I get for being such a good sweet boy!

I really want to run and play like young bunnies like me love to! Can you help by making a donation to the Friendly Farms medical fund? They cannot rescue hurt bunnies like me without your assistance! Please contact the Avian and Exotic Clinic to donate, and tell them Oliver sent you!

Oliver will be ready for adoption once his wounds have healed and he has been neutered. For more information, please contact us at Friendly Farms.

Dexter

Posted in Adoptables at 12:10 am by Lori

Dashing Dexter is a handsome young man who enjoys the active life! He will gladly show off his skills in track and field- the high jump, hurdles, sprints, and even the Bunny 500!

Dexter is Lily’s brother. He too is glad to be a house bunny, and they would like to be adopted together now that he has been neutered and she has been spayed.

Contact us here at Friendly Farms for more information about Dexter.

Lily

This adorable little hotot mix girl loves to make herself at home- relaxing on the bed, playing with toys, looking oh-so-cute as she enjoys her salad! She was living with her brother Dexter, in an outside hutch, having litter after litter of babies, only to watch them die. The family dog was also allowed to chase her and her brother. Now she has begun a new life as a house bunny, and is looking forward to being a well-loved member of a caring family!

Lily does not like dogs, after her experiences at her first home. She wants to live safe and comfortable inside now, and is working on her litterbox skills so that she can have lots of freedom in her new home!

Lily has been spayed. She is still less than a year old.

Muggins (previously Smokey)

Update: 4/15/08 - Muggins’ wound has healed nicely and his fur is beginning to grow back. He has been neutered and is ready to move into a loving home!
——————————————————————–
Please consider helping a rabbit like Muggins this Easter with a donation to the Friendly Farms Medical Fund.

Hi! My name is Muggins! They called me Smokey at the shelter, but my foster mom says there is already a Smokey at Friendly Farms, so I will be called Muggins from now on!

I know the big wound on my back looks pretty bad, but it is healing now that I have had an abscess removed from there. I am active, playing with my toys, digging, and doing other fun bunny things like any other young rabbit boy! My surgical staples will come out in 2 weeks, my fur will grow back, and I will be as handsome as ever!

My brother and I got into a terrible fight at the shelter. I hurt him pretty badly too, but the shelter vet was able to fix him up. My abscess wasn’t getting any better, so the shelter vet recommended that I have surgery. The shelter asked Friendly Farms if they would help me. Thankfully they opened their hearts to me and took me to their vet for surgery, because I have heard that it is not a good thing when animals leave by the back door of the shelter instead of the front.

For now, I am enjoying my stay at Friendly Farms, but when my foster mom tells me how good life will be at my forever home, I can hardly wait! Will you be the person to share love and good times with me for the rest of my life?

Muggins will be available for adoption after his wound heals. We would greatly appreciate help with his medical expenses. Donations can be made directly to the Friendly Farms Medical Fund at the Avian and Exotic Clinic of the Monterey Peninsula or contact us.

Dots

Posted in Adoptables at 10:24 pm by Lori

dots.jpg

This handsome mini-rex boy, all stretched out to see what’s down below, is named Dots. He is sweet and easy to handle, and has the wonderfully soft fur rexes are famous for.

Dots was recently neutered and is still working on his litter box skills. He is looking for someone to be his friend and guardian in a life-long partnership. Dots is still a youngster- he will be two in June, so he is looking for at least a ten year commitment. And could a bunny girlfriend be in the cards as well?

Well-behaved dogs and other animals are okay with Dots, and he is fine with children who treat him gently.

Contact us here at Friendly Farms for more information about Dots.

Charlie (previously Snow)

Posted in Adoptables at 2:52 pm by Lori

charlie.jpg

Charlie was originally surrendered to the SPCA with his mother and littermates when he was about 3 months old. He was missing one upper incisor and his teeth weren’t able to wear down properly and were overgrown. Charlie was rescued by Friendly Farms and is now being sponsored by AFRP. He had surgery to remove his incisors on January 17.

Rabbits requiring this surgery do very well, as the molars are the only teeth they use for chewing; the incisors are just for biting off pieces of food small enough to eat. The only extra care Charlie requires is having his fruits and hard veggies like carrots chopped up for him, and lettuce and other leafy greens torn into pieces. He is able to eat hay, most green vegetables like parsley, dandelion greens, clover, and cilantro, and rabbit pellets normally.

Rabbits need to chew to keep their incisor teeth worn down. Charlie isn’t able to bite furniture, carpets, baseboards, and other items that you prefer not be chewed on, making him a great house rabbit! He also has excellent litterbox habits, so he is a good candidate for having unsupervised run of the house.

Charlie is an interactive, curious, confident young bunny boy with lots of love to give. He is also easy to handle and look at those great big silly ears! Charlie has been neutered.

Please contact Mia at 831-521-0101, or Friendly Farms for more information about this delightful bunny boy.

Serena

Posted in Adoptables at 4:05 pm by Lori

serena.jpg

This adorable little Netherland dwarf girl is as cute as a button! Serena is 2 or 3 years old now, we think. She is very sweet and enjoys gentle cuddling and lots of strokes.

Serena is looking for a home where she will be a well-loved member of the family. She was neglected at her previous home when the novelty of having a cute bunny wore off and the reality of daily cleaning, feeding, exercising, and socializing settled in. We are committed to finding her a home where she will be loved for who she is and joyfully cared for, not seen as a toy to be discarded when another distraction appears.

If you would like to meet Serena, please contact us here at Friendly Farms for more information. She has been spayed.

Seymour

Posted in Adoptables at 8:12 pm by Lori

Update May 6, 2008: Seymour looks very handsome now that he has his beautiful new coat! Contact us here at Friendly Farms if you are interested in adopting this wonderful boy!

seymour.jpg

Update: Seymour had his first surgery on March 11th. His lower incisors were removed, but his upper ones had been worn to nubs and the vet wants them to grow out some before attempting to remove them. Seymour is doing well and should be ready for his second (and hopefully last!) surgery in a couple of weeks. And we will need about another $100 to cover his costs! A great big “THANK YOU!” to everyone who donated to make Seymour’s first surgery possible.

Update: We are almost there, but we still need $125 to cover Seymour’s vet bills. Please call the Avian and Exotic Clinic at 831-647-1147 and donate to Seymour’s Tooth Fund, or contact us if you can help!

Update: Seymour’s dental exam showed that he has a severe malocclusion, necessitating incisor removal. His vet costs will total about $350. We would like to get his surgery done in early March, but cannot until we have donations to pay for his procedure. Can you help Seymour make this next step from neglect and abandonment to a new life where he will be loved by a caring family? Please contact us here at Friendly Farms, or you can donate directly to Seymour’s Tooth Fund at the Avian and Exotic Clinic of the Monterey Peninsula. They can accept a credit card over the phone or a check by mail.

——————————————–

Okay, so I look a little funny right now! I was living with other unneutered boy bunnies at my old home, and we did a lot of what unneutered bunny boys like to do- sprayed urine on each other! But my fur will be white and beautiful again once I lose my winter coat, which shouldn’t be long now!

I was found living in some bushes next to a drainage ditch in Salinas. It wasn’t much of a life- I was hungry and scared when the kind woman whose home I am staying at talked me into getting into a carrier! Thankfully I am safe now and getting lots of good food and rest. It is hard to sleep well when you can hear raccoons and dogs and other predators close by and are afraid for your life!

I also have some sore patches on my feet from sitting in a wire-floored cage at my old home. They should heal quickly now that I have soft, clean towels to sit on. I am going to see the vet again soon to make sure that my teeth are in good shape, and I will let you know how that turns out.

I have mixed feelings about this rescued rabbit stuff- I mean, I really could have done without the neuter surgery! But the woman who is fostering me says it will help me to get a wonderful forever home. I am already getting good with my litter box, and I like nothing more than for someone to pet me and tell me what a great guy I am.

I am still new to this fresh vegetable stuff too, but I am learning to try new things. Apples are pretty darn good, and dandelion greens are okay. And I promise to be a really good boy if you don’t make me eat any of that yukky broccoli! Blech!

If you are interested in giving Seymour the safe, indoor home he deserves for the rest of his life, please contact Friendly Farms for more information.
