California Couple Finds 5 Fluffy Creatures Dumped In A Parking Lot And Immediately Acts
For over forty years, the team at The Rabbit Haven in California has answered emergency calls and rescued countless tiny lives along the way.
With so much experience, they’ve seen it all, or at least they thought they had, because every so often, a situation comes along that even seasoned rescuers aren’t prepared for.
That’s exactly what happened when Ricky and Colette arrived at a scene that stopped them in their tracks. What they found left them stunned, and determined to act fast.
Picture this: you pull into a parking lot, ready to run errands, and instead you find a tiny pile of baby lop bunnies huddled together, trying to disappear into the asphalt.
That’s what Ricky and Colette saw: five helpless little ones pressed together, trembling, with cars zooming past and no mother in sight.
Just thinking about what these babies went through makes your chest tighten.
Ricky and Colette carefully scooped up the babies, tucked them into safety, and promised them the parking lot would never be their home again.
But they knew the little ones needed expert care, so their first call was to The Rabbit Haven.
The Rabbit Haven team has seen a lot over the decades: neglected, abandoned, and forgotten bunnies. But when these five siblings arrived, even they were shaken.
It looked like someone had just pulled off the freeway and dumped them.
Scorched pavement, no food or water, completely unprotected. The Haven described it on Facebook as a heartbreaking act of cruelty, sharing:
“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 the story didn’t end there. The moment the babies arrived at The Rabbit Haven, their luck changed.
They got fresh food, cool water, soft bedding, and most importantly, love. Also, they got names: Robin, Rhona, Reeses, Roy, and Reayah.
And now, the little bunnies are thriving. They’re figuring out the litter box, discovering how fun nibbling can be, 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 little miracles, and that’s exactly what they are. Five tiny survivors who should never have made it through that day but did.
Now, instead of being a heartbreaking story, they’re a story of hope and second chances.
The Rabbit Haven isn’t stopping here. They’re already looking for foster families who can spoil 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.
