Hello, friends of The Rabbit Tree,

This year has been one of immense challenges and change for us. As many of you know, I survived a ruptured brain aneurysm that left me hospitalized and in rehabilitation for six months. During that time, many of our beloved rabbits were relocated to other rescues to ensure they received the care they needed.

After much reflection, I’ve come to the difficult decision to stop taking in surrenders. My health no longer allows me to physically care for the bunnies, which has been heartbreaking to accept. However, The Rabbit Tree will continue to hold its 501(c)(3) status, allowing us to assist rabbits in need in other ways.

To all our incredible supporters, I cannot thank you enough. Your kindness and generosity ensured that the bunnies were cared for during my absence, and your continued support means the world now that I am recovering and without a job to sustain this project.

Helping abandoned, abused, and neglected rabbits has always been my mission. While I feel I’ve fallen short in some ways, I know that together we’ve made a difference in the lives of so many rabbits. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Thank you for standing by me and these wonderful creatures during this difficult time. I hope to find new ways to contribute to this cause as I rebuild my life and regain stability.

With love and gratitude,
Kellie
The Rabbit Tree
Please remember that I couldn’t have done any of this without your continued support. I thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart.

I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has shown kindness and support for these precious bunnies. Yesterday, we received some much-needed food, and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! ♥️♥️

If I could, I would invite every one of you here to shower these sweet babies with kisses, hugs, and smooches—they deserve all the love in the world.

There are moments when the cruelty in this world makes me lose faith in humanity, but then people like you remind me of the goodness that still exists. Your generosity and compassion have filled my heart with hope and gratitude. Thank you for stepping up to help these vulnerable little souls in their time of need.

As I’ve shared before, I’ll be closing my doors as a rescue. This has been a deeply emotional decision, but it’s not sustainable for me anymore, especially since I am unable to work. I do hope to maintain my 501(c)(3) status, so I can continue helping one or two rabbits in the future in a smaller capacity.

For now, I simply want to say thank you for helping me care for these bunnies until I can figure out the next steps. Your kindness means everything.

I’ve added a picture of Scrump and Nelson. Scrump is sporting the awful haircut that I have given the poor thing 😂 I am not a professional groomer. Look at her poor feet 😂

Bunnies are a lot more than most people think.

Please click on the link in this post to help this little guy with a donation. Please find it in your heart to donate even a couple of dollars to help this little guy. Please reach out and contact the rescue who has him and see if they need any food or snacks or toys for the little bunnies. These bunnies did not ask to be brought into this world. These bunnies have done nothing wrong, merely existing. Please help.

We just got our balance at the vet down to $0. Our vet bill is mostly Spay’s and neuters. This time we had a sick bunny who needed help. Poor little Sundae.
We are back down to zero dollars owed, but that took all of our money. If anyone would like to donate bunny food, Timothy hay, toys, laundry detergent, dog blankets, or anything at all! We could really use it. Thankfully we don’t have a medical issue right now and all of our bunnies seem healthy.
Included is a picture of Muffy and Lilly ♥️

Hello Friends!!
Someone has asked if we can help them find a home for their birds. He has two parakeets and a zebra finch. They are about five years old. I don’t have any more information about them, but if you are interested please message me and I can give you the phone number to call.
Thank you!!
