HELP US HELP TARO & MACCHIATO!

This week, we took two very special souls under our wing; Macchiato & Taro. Born November of last year to a distressed young mother, both siblings suffered limb loss as infants. Mother rabbits who are stressed out of their minds, (as most young mothers are), have been known to chew on their babies as a desperate coping mechanism / stress reaction. Sadly, and by no fault of their poor mother, such were the injuries suffered by these two little ones.

While Macchiato's missing paw has less severe lasting damage, Taro's devastating loss of one ear, one leg, and one foot, rendered her nearly immobile; able only to scoot and drag her body around. Young, vulnerable, and tiny - both under two pounds -Taro & Macchiato were left to suffer without medical intervention or assistance. We knew we had to help.

Once we had them, both little ones were seen by our Vet, where they were hospitalized for two days; receiving spayed and neutered procedures, diagnostic testing, and x-rays. Our Vet has many treatment ideas for Taro’s condition to ensure her a long, happy life of free and painless mobility, like her brother. But we need your financial support to do so.

Taro & Macchiato are such a special pair who share an intensely deep love bond formed by their shared traumatic experiences of having their limbs bitten off. While Macchiato can run and walk with relative ease, he knows that Taro cannot, and shows patience and care with his baby sister. Macchiato frequently found kissing and grooming his beloved sister, and cuddling her as they sleep. If little Taro is scared by a loud noise, Macchiato will run to comfort her, and she will only then relax. Macchiato is Taro’s support system, and is so caring and loving... he, more than anyone, wants to see his sister thrive, hoping in his bunny heart that someday she can join him as he runs around.

With our Veterinary debt at $12,000, we are financially struggling to proceed in this pairs' path to full medical rehabilitation. We know that times are tough, and many feel minor contributions don't help... but the truth is that every dollar counts.

If you'd like to call Northwood Animal Hospital directly and make a donation toward our medical bill, they accept call-in donations of $100 or more at (949) 559-1992. For any amount of aid, please click on: BUNNYWORLDFOUNDATION.ORG/DONATE for PayPal service -- any amount counts <3

If each member of our Facebook family donated just one dollar, we would have a nest-egg for these and many other bunnies who are desperate, hurting and betrayed. So please... even if it’s small, help us do our life-saving work by making a tax-deductible donation.

Thank you for helping us help the forgotten.
