Hurrican Doris: Hopper Haven Rabbit
Donation protected
Today (23 Feb2017) we were visited by Hurricane Doris.
We are a sanctuary (and registered charity). We give sanctuary to over 130 elderly, sick, disabled and aggressive rabbits and Guinea pigs that find themselves without a home, and we give them sanctuary for the rest of their lives.
As you can see from the photo we have had a huge conifer tree (over 70ft) that has been blown over onto the sanctuary damaging three of the enclosures, hitting one of the hutches, but thankfully not injuring any of our precious creatures.
The clean up will start tomorrow, and whilst we will try and do most of the labour ourselves, there will be additional costs such as removal and replacement of fencing so that the rabbits can have access to their enclosures again along with removal costs for the tree and possibly hutch repairs once the tree is removed.
Any funds raised above the repair costs would be allocated to our vet or feed and bedding funds.
Check out who we are and what we do here www.hopperhaven.org.uk
We are a small but dedicated team, and we all are volunteers.
Even if you can only donate a £1, that's a £1 that doesn't have to come out of our feed and bedding budget, and it would be greatly appreciated!
