MEET Ferdinand - a dwarf rabbit who hasn't ever had a home to call his own.
Ferdinand has been in RSPCA care for nearly his whole life and as Rabbit Awareness Week 2022 draws to a close, he is still waiting.
He is currently the centre’s longest stay rabbit after being taken into RSPCA care by the inspectorate as his welfare needs were not being met.
Hayley Moorey, behaviour and welfare advisor, at the Hartridge Road centre, said: “It is so heartbreaking that Ferdinand has been with us over a year, which means he has spent most of his life with us as he is not even two years old yet.
“He is such a dashing bunny who is just crammed with character. We know he would make a great addition to a family and would particularly like to be rehomed with a spayed female rabbit he can play with.
“If you think Ferdinand is the rabbit for you, please get in touch or fill out an Online Application Form. We would just love to see him in his fur-ever home as soon as possible.”
