It will never cease to amaze me that bunnies like this end up as unclaimed strays 🤯

Like are you kidding me with this level of cuteness??Not to mention the fact that she is the sweetest, cuddliest little thing.

She has no concept at all of stranger danger. Everyone is a friend as far as she is concerned.

She was clearly someone’s pet, though definitely living outside as she has some sun bleached fur.

Did she escape a yard and no one bothered to look for her?

Did she get dumped and left behind on purpose?

We’ll never know what happened or why, but we are grateful that she was found and brought to Norman Animal Welfare before anything bad could happen to her. And extra grateful they let us take her in so she could be spayed and find the type of home that will appreciate all she has to offer.

PS her name is Marble Cake, as requested by the two lovely humans who helped transport her to us🩵

Want to support her and all the work we do for bunnies? We are still trying to make our $10,000 goal for a new HVAC system. We are half way there already!!

The bigger grayish one was being sold at a farmer's market for meat and she was just too sweet to walk on by and let that be her fate. She is a kune kune breed pig and we named her Claudia.

The other three are from Texas. Someone reached out begging for help with several pot belly piglets who were going to be used as target practice or hunting bait if no one took them.

We agreed to take three.

The bigger orangey girl was in much better shape from an older litter and was clearly hand raised. We named her Ruby.

The two litte boys were extremely skinny and are very very skittish. They still need names!

The second clip was the day they got here 10 days ago and the last clip was today. Making progress weight wise for sure!

Wow I guess you really know when a post is being seen by the algorithm when breeders start chiming in with their two cents 🙄

Here are some FACTS about rescue for those who want to make posts like this and have no concept of how rescues actually operate and why we need donations:

1. We take in animals that breeders sell to the public and then the public turns around and dumps, abuses, can no longer afford, were not prepared for etc. Along with animals from domestic violence situations or homes where their humans are facing devastating health issues. Pray tell, if not rescues, where do these animals go?? You keep breeding more regardless of how many animals lose their homes, which means the overflow has to go somewhere.

2. We do not CHOOSE for animals to be dumped or abused or otherwise losing their home. We are fulfilling a community need by taking them in! That is the reason the community then turns around and chooses to donate. We are transparent with what that money is being used for it. Trust and believe, we ain’t getting rich.

3. In an ideal world it should be the breeder or pet owner who pays for these animals since they produced or purchased the animals, but they aren’t stepping up. As much as I’d love to track down every breeder who produced every animal and have them take on the financial responsibility they created, it’s not possible. Breeding isn’t regulated or monitored in any way.

4. You mention euthanizing any animal who has been in a shelter for more than 6 months. Insane take but let’s go with it for a moment - Who pays for the food, shelter, enrichment, temperature control, water etc during those 6 months? Who pays for the euthanasia after those 6 months? Even with your “perfect plan”for pet population control someone has to step up and pay for all the pets that get abandoned, or deal with the consequences.

5. What are the consequences of having no rescues or shelters? Well, all abandoned animals are left roaming the streets.
•The animals are dying slowly from hunger or parasites.
•They are being public nuisances peeing on everything, digging up yards etc (just ask anyone with a feral cat colony near them).
•The number of abandoned animals is ever increasing from constant breeding.
•The number of rabies cases is going through the roof because of the lack of vaccinations.
•They are constantly being hit by cars causing public funds to be used for road cleanup.
•They are spreading bacteria and viruses at rapid rates and increasing likelihood of humans being affected.

6. Roughly 6 MILLION animals end up in shelters every year. Do you think all of them deserve to just be euthanized immediately rather than given a chance at a new home? If not, someone has to pay! Even if you do just want them all euthanized, someone has to pay for that too! And if you are so callous about their lives to begin with STOP BREEDING MORE!

7. Vets exist for a reason. Just because a breeder like this “culls” (k*lls at home themselves) any animal that is sick, doesn’t meet the arbitrary standards their fellow breeders set or has a mild disability etc. does not mean everyone else has to. I feel sorry that you don’t value animal life in the slightest (and yet produce so much of it) and think disabilities make life unworthy of living. Ending an animal’s life is simply not better than getting vet care to prolong that life. And newsflash, we DO humanely euthanize when quality of life is not there!!

8. Your rabbits live in what you call a “hole” because it’s basically just that. Tiny wire cage with no enrichment and minimal interaction outside being bred. Our rescues live in palaces comparatively. Toys, diet variety, affection IF they want it and space to run, stretch, binky and play. I bet your bunnies will never get to binky in their lives. So I’ll take all the criticism and the judgment with honor, because I know what I’m doing benefits the entire community, but more importantly every animal who is lucky enough to be here instead of with you. 😘

I just wanted to post and say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Through everyone viewing and sharing the post yesterday we managed to raise $3,657 in just 24 hours! 🥹

We still have a ways to go to be able to afford a new HVAC system, but this was an amazing reminder that the rescue community is still out there!!

I wish every post got this kind of visibility, because clearly the main issue is just that no one is seeing us these days. Soooooo many people said they haven’t seen our posts in months even though they used to comment and follow along religiously.

Anyways, I am feeling hopeful for the first time in many months. If we can reach that $10,000 goal by the end of the year I’ll be able to BREATHE and continue this work with a new pep in my step (because we would have fully functioning AC and heat again).

Dare I hope the love keeps coming? 🙈

Some other updates:

✨Pictured is Alfert, a bunny we recently took in from Arizona who had a broken leg for two weeks before anyone reached out for help. He got neutered today and has been thriving in his foster-to-adopt home! He is a shining example of the work I want to be able to continue doing - driving wherever I am needed to rescue bunnies most in need.

✨We also had nine other bunnies get spayed/neutered today and two dental filings. Thanks to the donations, I did not have to add these things to our credit card or vet debt.

I am considering closing the rescue in the next couple of months.

I am not saying this to fear monger, but because I am genuinely at my wits end. I need you to really see this post and understand the position I’m in.

❌We have not met a fundraising goal in months!!❌

All year we have struggled with being shadowbanned and not getting views, especially from followers. Posts shared in dozens of groups get zero interaction because they are literally hidden by the algorithm.

In August we had our AC go down and had to pay $3,000 in repairs. Now it’s down again and we will likely have to replace the whole thing - but we still haven’t even paid off the repairs!

I am funding the rescue off my and my husband’s credit at this point because we are getting so little interaction and so few donations.

Right now rescue is my full time job, so I do not make an income!!!

If I have to self-fund this rescue, there will be no more rescue, no new intakes, no emergency medical help for rabbits in need.

I will have to get a job to continue caring for the sanctuary animals I promised a good life instead.

All adoptable bunnies would be adopted out and then this page would be closed down, because I wouldn’t have time to do social media with while working anyway.

At this point, if we do not AT MINIMUM, raise enough to cover all these outstanding bills and partial payment for a new HVAC, there is nothing more I can do.

*I’m talking needing at least $10,000 here people.*

I cannot run a rescue without donations, nobody can. So if we cannot raise these funds and I have to close the rescue so I can go get a job, it is what it is.

The level of rage I’m currently feeling: 🤬

AC company manager called and said they will do exactly *nothing* to make this right besides send out a tech and put another bandaid fix on until it goes out again.

As of this moment I’m stopping payments (so goodbye to my excellent credit score that I worked my behind off for) and I’ll be contacting a lawyer and news outlets.

I genuinely am too busy to deal with this further today but later this week I’ll be releasing their company name and they can go ahead and just deal with whatever backlash they get.

Not only did this company recently take $3,000 to “repair” this system that STILL DOES NOT WORK, but multiple times, through multiple employees (including a manager), have told me they should never have sold me the system in the first place, AND that it was installed wrong, AND that it was never meant to be “in use” all the time even in the best of conditions.

We told them point blank what this system would be used for when getting quotes for what kind of system to install. We emphasized the amount of dust, how resilient we needed an AC system it to be, and how constantly it would be used.

They promised us this would work and was the best product for the job. We didn’t even get six months out of it before it broke the first time!

Their excuse now is that that particular sales employee no longer works there. Ok and? Your company still took advantage of a rescue for a quick buck!!

They blame me overall for the environment and “lack of maintenance” which is a whole joke when the timeline is laid out. Then when I bring that timeline up they blame the manufacturer. Sorry, but the manufacturer didn’t make you sell their product for a use it clearly cannot keep up with. That was all you.

And all of this right after I *just got out of the hospital* and have so much to catch up on.

I am EXHAUSTED, in pain and broke.

At this rate, depending how much a quote is for a new AC system, we may just have to cut our losses and *close down the rescue* in the next few months before it gets hot.

I am already going to be tanking my credit over this and we still haven’t even gotten the donations to cover the other repairs.

I’m just kind of done.

Hope that company is happy. They did what no one else has been able to do so far - broke my spirit.

10/19/2026

Guess whose AC isn’t working again?

At this point I’m going to need community help if I do not hear from management of this company by tomorrow with a solution for a refund and/or replacing this entire system. If you know anyone with a news outlet, DM me.

After $3,000 in repairs and cleaning and the management of this company refusing to speak to me - I’m done.

We have not gone two weeks of this piece of garbage working since August. It was a problem every 6 months before that. It’s only a two year old system!

It’s a 3.5 ton “mini split” that should be able to handle this job but it simply is installed poorly or is a bad product.
We told them point blank exactly what we needed the system for and even asked if a regular HVAC system would be better and they absolutely insisted on this product at the time of sale.

Ever since, every employee who has come to fix this thing (a dozen visits in less than 2 years!!) has said this system should never have been sold to us in the first place. They have used the excuse of it being a “newer company” at the time of sale.

If a replacement or refund isn’t worked out, I’m releasing the company name and they can deal with the 14,000+ of our supporters who don’t want to see our rabbits distressed by this anymore!!

They are lucky this time the weather isn’t dangerously hot and we can get by with some fans, but I’m not waiting around for this to happen yet again.

Update: I did get to come home last night.

Almost certainly just ever increasing endometriosis related pain around intestines/bladder.

Severe anemia and “mild free fluid” in my “cul-de-sac” but apparently those things can be normal.

The next step is exploratory surgery and likely hysterectomy since endometriosis is practically impossible to get a diagnosis on and actually impossible to “cure” even with surgeries, but hopefully at least the pain and endometrial lesions can be reduced.

I really don’t know how I’m going to manage 6-10 weeks of surgery recovery with no lifting, but that’s something I’m going to have to figure out on the near future. I’ll need A LOT of volunteer help just to keep all the animals fed and clean. I’m more stressed about that prospect than the actual surgery.

Isn’t being a woman just delightful? 🤦‍♀️

Not how I saw my day going 😕

Hi it’s me, Isis, the one who makes all these posts and cares for the 100+ animals at our rabbit rescue and farm sanctuary.

At the moment I’m experiencing severe lower abdominal pain like nothing I’ve ever felt before, most likely endometriosis related but who knows. I’ve been here 5 hours and all we know is I’ve got severely low RBC and slightly high WBC. Still waiting for CT and ultrasound.

This hospital is the same one that botched my hand stitches so I should have just driven further away but wasn’t really thinking about that in the moment.

Anyways, I may be in desperate need of volunteers depending how things go. I got litter boxes pulled out and started putting back in and then the pain hit hard this evening.

Send me a message if you’ve got availability this week and I’ll let you know if/how you can help. My husband will take care of whatever he can for now but he may need help if something were to happen to me.

And um, hate to ask, but please send donations so he isn’t scrambling if I’m out for a few days 🥲

‼️URGENT NEED‼️

We took in this lop who needs a vet visit for a serious UTI and ge***al infection.

Bunny is severely matted with her own f***s and has been for quite some time. Due to the constant presence of the f***s she has developed an infection and has puss present around her lady parts.

She apparently belonged to someone’s coworker who could no longer keep her and the person who took her in did not have the funds of experience to help her.

Not sure how long she has been in this condition but I’m going to get her cleaned up as much as I can but then she’ll need to see the vet to make sure she doesn’t have any internal abscesses from this infection and get on some antibiotics. I have a feeling her skin is going to be in rough shape under all this wet filth too.

Your support - comments, share and especially donations - mean everything! Please help us help this sweetheart when she needs it most. 🙏

Donations of any amount can be sent via this link, even a dollar helps!

We could also use some name suggestions for her!
