Moe’s journey with Houston Rabbit Resource began in December 2022 when she was surrendered to a shelter by her previous owners. After noticing her bulging eyes, we conducted extensive diagnostics and discovered she had glaucoma. Despite managing her condition with the help of our amazing veterinary team for eight months, Moe’s eye pressure continued to rise, causing her significant pain.
Ultimately, we made the difficult but compassionate decision to remove both of Moe’s eyes to alleviate her suffering. The surgery, performed last Wednesday by the incredible Dr. Morales at Cypress Lakes Animal Hospital, was a success. Just a few days later, Moe is already back to eating well and seems to have found a renewed zest for life. Her resilience and unstoppable spirit continue to inspire us all.
Moe’s medical care, including her surgery, came with a $956 veterinary bill. With Giving Tuesday just around the corner, now is the perfect time to make a difference. Your generosity can help us cover Moe’s medical expenses and ensure we’re ready to provide lifesaving care for more bunnies in need. Every donation, big or small, brings hope to rescue bunnies like Moe. Thank you for being part of their journey!
#ForeverHomeFriday The Love story of Chopper and Camila
#ForeverHomeFriday The Love story of Chopper and Camila
Who remembers Camila? She was with us for quite a while looking for her forever home. She came to us and had three babies, two of which have also found their forever homes. Camila waited patiently for bun parents who would love her, and not only did she find loving parents, but a husbun too!
Here is what her new dad says, "After adopting Chopper when a friend found him abandoned outside, we wanted to find a friend to keep him company while we were at work. We brought Chopper to a speed dating event [with] Houston Rabbit Resource where we met Camilla. They seemed to do well together so we brought her home for a sleepover. The bonding process was long and difficult as both of them were very stubborn and refused to give in to one another! HRR really supported us by giving us a lot of useful advice. After 7 weeks of daily bonding sessions, Nere from HRR took both of them into her home for three full days of supervised bonding in a new neutral environment.
Ever since then, Chopper and Camilla are now a very loving couple who love to cuddle and do everything together. Chopper is long-haired and very messy; Camilla cleans and grooms him very patiently. In return, Chopper teaches Camila how to beg for treats from mom and dad."
Camila we are so glad you have found your happily ever after. Congratulations in finding each other, and we hope you all have many adventures together.
