California Couple Finds Five Fluffy Siblings In Parking Lot And Drops Everything To Save Them
Most days at The Rabbit Haven start off pretty normal. After all, they’ve been saving little fluffballs in Northern California for over forty years, so calls for help are part of their everyday life.
But every now and then, something happens that shakes even the most seasoned rescuers. And that’s exactly what went down when a local couple stumbled across a scene that made their hearts drop.
Imagine pulling into a parking lot, expecting to run errands, and instead finding a tiny pile of baby lop bunnies pressed tightly together, like they were trying to disappear.
That’s what Ricky and Colette found. Five helpless little ones, huddled in the middle of chaos, with cars zooming by and no mama in sight.
Just thinking about what those babies went through is enough to make your chest ache.
Ricky and Colette didn’t waste a second. Their hearts took over. They carefully scooped up the trembling babies, tucked them into safety, and promised them that the parking lot would never be their home again.
But they also knew they needed backup, so the first call they made was to The Rabbit Haven.
Now, The Rabbit Haven team has seen a lot. They’ve taken in neglected, abandoned, and forgotten bunnies for decades.
Still, when those five little faces showed up (Robin, Rhona, Reeses, Roy, and Reayah), it broke them. It looked like someone had literally pulled off the freeway and tossed them out.
Hot pavement, no food, no water, no protection. It was cruel, as the haven shared on Facebook:
“What a sad situation- How cruel to leave defenseless babies out in the dirt in the hot sun. Looks like they just pulled off the freeway and dumped them.”
But here’s the best part. The story didn’t end in that parking lot. The moment those babies were brought into The Rabbit Haven, their luck turned around.
They got fresh food, cool water, soft bedding, and most importantly, love. And let me tell you, they are thriving now.
They’re figuring out the litter box, discovering how fun it is to nibble nonstop, and showing off the sweetest personalities. The haven shared:
“They are all very sweet. They are quickly learning to use the litter box and are so happy to have a constant supply of food and love.”
The team calls them their little miracles. And honestly, that’s exactly what they are.
Five tiny survivors who should have never made it through that day, but somehow did. Now, instead of being just another sad story, they’re a story of hope.
The Rabbit Haven isn’t stopping here. They’re already on the lookout for foster families who can keep spoiling these sweethearts while they wait for forever homes.
Until then, the staff is showering them with every ounce of affection they missed out on before.
Because that’s what these bunnies deserve. Love, safety, and a second chance. And thanks to a couple of strangers with kind hearts, and a rescue that never turns away, they finally got it.
