100 Rabbits Saved
CAP, Spay Houston and Bunny Buddies have coordinated efforts to save more than a 100 rabbits from a hoarding/breeding environment. These bunnies, who will reside at CAP until they can find forever homes, will be in need of veterinary services and TLC over the coming weeks. Please help out our Operation Rabbit Rescue with pet bowls, cage mounted water bottles, and grocery gift cards or volunteer to work with the bunnies so we can find families for these loveable lapines!
