Misfits Coven

10/19/2024

hi friends, hope all is well and happy fall & spooky October 🍂🖤🐄 so sorry for the lack of adorable resident photos and vids lately - lots of stuff going on personally and working too much to pay off Covie’s vet bills — and spending a ton of time with our most recent resident. Ecstatic to formally introduce BABY DUNE💙🐄 baby Dune has been here for a bit now, and has bonded deeply with baby Cove. They are the most adorable pair, true brothers and best friends, and the big boys adore them both immensely. Baby Dune had a very similar story to Cove (but gratefully less chaotic and less health issues!) - he was a surrender and survivor of the dairy industry, rescued by our very dear friend ❤️‍🩹 I picked him up from the coast in a rented van (they didn’t know that though, lol) and away we went home to our coven; Dunie was terrified and scared at first, but he has been such a trusting, curious, strong tiny fellow… “tiny” as in, probably going to be bigger than Covie, haha. So thankful for for dedicating such time and effort to saving countless lives, even when things get difficult, and supporting us so much here. All the other residents are doing awesome, everyone is enjoying the cooler weather and fewer bug friends around; getting ready for our favorite holiday of the year, blessed Samhain. Thank yinz for the love and support of the animals and us, it means a lot and hope everyone is doing great! ✨🐄🐄🎃🌿🌛🖤
~with work and everything going on, I have taken a long unexpected break from social media, will respond to all asap! much love x thx my friends

Morty ✨🐈‍⬛🫶🪄🖤🔮 such a special lil guy. years ago I adopted Morty, along with many other kitties (including Tonks, Luna, and several friends we found amazing homes for later), from one of the shelters by my uni the day before they were all scheduled to be euthan1zed. I saw a woman online that had a local cat rescue doing everything she possibly could to get these cats safe from being killed needlessly; she went and took 30 of them, and was desperately asking for more individuals to help the remaining. I reached out immediately, and we talked for a while about the cats, she had mentioned Morty (nameless at the time) being wildly sweet, Luna (Nancy at the time) having an eye issue but being so perfect, and Tonks (nameless) being so traumatized from coming in with her five babies all being adopted out without her. Luna’s eye issues resolved with care, Tonks finally opened up after a long while of trust (many thanks to mama Kesa for helping immensely), and Morty has been my lil lover boy since the day he came home even through his many health issues. Morty gives me hugs everytime I walk in a room, and he is so friendly to all (that he trusts, that is lol). We understand each other so well, and he is o so talkative. I can’t imagine him being taken away so soon. I wish all the kitties had homes. Please spay & neuter your companions. 🖤🤘🐱☮️ magical baby Mort of Tortes 🪄

Finn likes to eat his greens off his drum 🖤 groovy boy. Finn is doing alright, still the same health-wise, still in good spirits, and still receiving his daily treatments. Been trying to spoil him extra and make sure he’s content; poor babe still gets very stressed out when receiving his fluids - we don’t blame him one bit. Star is oh so sweet to him, she grooms him lots and always lets him eat the last greens and pellets. They adore each other.🖤
❤️‍🩹 Continuing our fundraiser for Finn (if I don’t accidentally end it lol.. still getting used to meta stuff), his medical bills lately have been very high (2k+), along with med supplies, daily care, and upcoming appts. Any support for Finn in any way is so helpful and appreciated. Thank you to everyone that has shared & donated lately - I hate being a bother and fundraising but it helps us immensely and means a ton to Finn, myself, & the other misfits. We have many items on our Amazon & Chewy wishlists for baby Finn (link in bio). Thank yinz so dearly for the Finn love, support, & well wishes.🖤🐇✨

We love and appreciate Microsanctuary Resource Center ❤️‍🩹🐓❤️‍🩹

It’s been 10 years since the microsanctuary concept made its debut on !

In this 2014 interview, co-founder of MRC and Triangle Chicken Advocates (veganswithchickens), Alastor Van Kleeck, shared their thoughts on the concept of a microsanctuary.

“We had recently moved to a three-acre property outside of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where our view is a wall of trees instead of rolling pastures. Nevertheless, we decided that we could scale the model down and get creative with what we have, not what we think we need, in order to provide permanent shelter and care to our rescues. We began to see ourselves as building a ‘microsanctuary.‘“

can’t get over how proud of baby Cove we all are. he has overcome so much. to see him running around, so energetic and curious, after being born with all contracted tendons is a true miracle and showcase of his determination. he’s such a majestic, powerful lil baby. his life is worth more than meat and exploitation, as all beings are. so grateful baby Cove is happy and healthy. he deserves the world and we hope to give it to him. 🖤 silly weirdo sassy bb boi

thank you again for the support of baby Finn - it means so much to us. Finn is such a special little guy. he escaped slaughter, and the passing of his soulmate last year. we adore him so very much ❤️‍🩹🐇🌛

Baby Finn is super thankful for all the kind words & wishes, donations, shares, & sweet support ❤️‍🩹🐇 seriously means a lot to us!! Finn is doing alright, just trying our best to manage his pain & discomfort, & try to get him healthy asap. he is still his spunky, hilarious, $ cuddly self, but is clearly uncomfortable at times - still so upset about his subq fluids & meds 😞 Finn hasn’t experienced this elevation before, & we haven’t had any major diet or habitat changes. still trying to rule out genetic causes - but figured out a bit ago that our well water is a high source of calcium, which is certainly not helping & could be contributing. well water is hard, packed with nutrients. our whole water sys lately has been a struggle, something that’s taken up most days making sure the residents have everything they need, are content & cool, & ensuring we always have backup supplies; been having to get spring water for buns until we get a filtration sys that can filter out Ca completely (RO). hoping the changes we’ve been making for Finn get him back on track very soon, & further testing shows nothing more serious.🖤 appreciate yinz so much!

Finn baby hasn’t been feeling the greatest for a bit now. He is dealing with high calcium levels, resulting in bladder buildup and discomfort. Rabbits do not break down Ca like other mammals, and can experience numerous health issues with an abundance. Thankfully, things have not worsened over the last few months - but we have not achieved the progress he deserves. Finn has been to our local vet and specialty vet both numerous times, with his appts totaling more than $2500. We have had to make many adjustments to our daily and weekly schedules, including daily subq fluids and medications, diet changes, water changes, and habitat alterations. So grateful to have sweet support for Finn — including our dear friend and board member for finding Finn an awesome RO filter we have been needing! 😭🖤🐇 Finn is the sweetest, most curious lil fellow. Star and I adore him so much. He has been through a ton the past year, with losing dear Runa, and I just want him to feel pure peace and comfort. If anyone would like to help with Finn’s care in any way, we would be immensely thankful!!
