FOUND: Californian White rabbit may soon need a home

found-californian-white-rabbit Someone must be missing this big friendly male rabbit. He was found in Pinehill, on the North Shore of Auckland, running back and forth across a busy road and exploring garden verges.

Thankfully a kind woman named Kate stopped her car and attempted to rescue him. A passing contractor managed to capture the bunny and contain him in his work van - while Kate rushed off to collect a travel carrier. Now this lovely big boy is safe in our shelter until we find his protector.

This rabbit is used to human attention – so we hope to soon reunite him with his family! Please contact us ASAP if this boy is your baby.

If his caregivers don’t come forward, we will be looking for a loving home for him with plenty of human company and a big hutch & play area to suit his size and curious nature.

Please apply if you are able to offer him a wondeful back-up home…

Thank you.

Shy little Lucy needs a home.

altWe were first contacted about Lucy when a dear old lady returned home to find a stray cat had given birth under her deck. Once Lucy moved into foster care she was found to be in excellent health. Unlike her kittens she has still not found a caring, quiet home yet. Please help Lucy find her happily ever after!

If you are interested in adopting Lucy please visit the Cat Adoption page of our website where you will find her full story and our contact details. Thank you! www.animalrehoming.co.nz

How does a non-profit organization survive?

altWith the help of all you wonderful people of course! Please check out our website where you will see some of the simple things people do that keep us going!

We are in desperate need of petrol vouchers. Re-homing & rescuing animals includes driving all over the country. Sometimes our volunteers simply cannot afford the petrol so animals can end up missing out.

If you think you could assist us in any way please visit the Help Us page of our website where you will be able to find our contact details.

Real men at work...

alt When Carla, one of our volunteers, became aware of two hens living at a waterlogged earth moving construction site, she knew they would be at further risk when the major building development began.

So in the pouring rain this morning, I set out to rescue them…and due to their hunger, soon had them safely enclosed in the car. They were cold, wet, hungry, muddy and shivering. In this cold winter weather, the hens’ legs and underbellies have regularly been fully immersed in muddy water.

When the workmen arrived I learned that they had been feeding these mud-caked girls for almost two months and that one had been extremely thin when they first noticed her. The men named them ‘Chickies’ and developed an affection for the birds. They routinely shared their lunches with them which likely kept them from illnesses and saved their lives. A makeshift shelter was built in the mechanics of a crane where the guys had placed hay for them. These are real men!

Now that they have been treated for worms and body lice, these pretty Brown Shavers are looking for loving caregivers. Meanwhile, thanks to Adie, they are enjoying a cosy life in a wonderful foster home.

It’s possible these hens were cruelly and illegally abandoned because they are older and may not be laying as well as they used to. Please apply for their adoption if you would like to spoil a couple of very friendly, curious girls who may or may not lay eggs. We have named them Carla (after our volunteer) and Eartha (in tribute to the great earthmoving team).

NOTE: If you witness anyone dumping chickens in public places, please note the time & date and write down their car number plate & description. If possible, also take a photograph of the offender(s) and forward all details to the Auckland SPCA so that a prosecution follows. Please inform others that abandoning an animal is cruel and is illegal under the Animal Welfare Act. Offenders can be fined up to $50,000.00, face a 12 month prison term - or both.
