Crucial Fundraiser & Astounding Update!

Crucial Fundraiser & Astounding Update! Bonita's ongoing case has evolved so much in the past two months, but we're neck-deep in vet bills. Please help~~ And read on to be AWESTRUCK by this little bunny and behold the power of love...

--We rescued Bonita FEB 6; the day she was left behind at a public shelter in a shocking state: emaciated and neglected so extremely that she was set to be immediately euthanized there. In spite of doubts that she'd even survive transport to the hospital, we looked her in the eye and saw the spark, so we put our faith in that spark and ran with it. This fragile little bunny, even with her body so wasted away and under siege by morbid infection, WAS NOT READY TO DIE!

While suffering starvation, overgrown nails, molar points, and severe malocclusion, Bonita was enduring something awful hiding under matted, sticky fur: A horribly festering abscess with a bleeding opening. The terrible abscess encompassed her right eye and cheek and bore a hole into her cheekbone...

--Bonita underwent eye enucleation, abscess-removal surgery, and 7 molar extractions. Miraculously, she responded very well post-op and didn't require syringe-feeding, as she began eating recovery-food mix on her own! THERE'S THAT SPARK!

Over the last two months, Bonita's staggering medical history of doctor's notes and vet bills has reached legendary status. A few, not all, of her bills are in the comments. Her case is ongoing so she's yet to be fully invoiced by our main vet, but you'll get the idea. Yes, the abscess is stubborn, and we've had to adjust our strategies to win the battles... But we are winning...

Bonita is a fighter and a messenger. It's vital that this be understood: In spite of her challenges, Bonita's been enjoying her life to the fullest! She's an affectionate, confident, happy little being and a force to be reckoned with. We utterly revere her, we're inspired by her, and respect her life as uniquely and powerfully meaningful. We're honored to help her and humbled by her inner strength that kept her heart beating when her body should have given out. Bonita the Conqueror!

Bonita's beautiful quality of life is thanks to Liza, our vigilant foster mom, who's devoted to Bonita's happiness. The details of Liza's excellent special-needs care of Bonita can literally fill a book. Liza & Bonita's intense journey together thrives on mutual trust that allows Bonita to receive care without any stress...

--We knew going into this mission to save Bonita that she was a long-term medical project. But we had faith that support would come somehow. Please find it in your heart to be part of Bonita's support system. We survive on donations alone and put every single dollar toward the vet bills.

If you'd like to give directly to Northwood Animal Hospital toward our medical bills, please call them at: 949-559-1992 to process the transaction by phone, but they do limit the amount to $100 or more.

This is a big ask -- but as they say, the answer is always no unless you ask... Is there someone out there who can sponsor Bonita for the remaining bulk of her vet balance not covered by donations? It's tax-deductible! If you are that person, or you know of that person or entity, please email us and we'll provide whatever is necessary toward that goal: info@bunnyworldfoundation.org with subject line "SPONSORING BONITA" Well, hey, Bonita never gave up dreaming, and neither will we! (Bonita's vet bills exceed $6,000.00).

Please share and perhaps chip in a bit if you can. 'Coffee Money' is always appreciated! It all adds up! Thank you for helping in any way you are able. AND STAY TUNED: Once we feel Bonita is strong enough, she'll be spayed -- and you know what that means! Yep, we have husbun candidates waiting to fall in love with Bonita! OMB!

Thank you so very much.
