A kindergarten class bunny, reportedly dumped by his school, was found in the woods filthy and unable to use his legs. Months later, this former class pet is the boss of a rescue shelter.
Rescuer Stanislav Fosnea took the abandoned bunny in. At the vet’s office, he recovered from his injuries and showed a strong temper. Months of care restored his mobility along with his feisty personality.
How the abandoned kindergarten bunny ended up in the woods
Stan believes the private kindergarten got rid of the bunny after a woman confronted the administration about his condition. Four days later, a girl found him in the woods about 400 meters from the school.
Stan later found a card in a bag of food. The card gave him his name, Johnny Cucumber. Stan then added a royal title of his own: “His Royal Furesty.”
Rescued pets like Johnny need a safe, enriching home, and this modular cat tower that grows with your cats shows how furniture can adapt to a growing household.
A kingdom built on gratitude
The rescue team says it went deep into debt to pay for Johnny’s treatment. In return, the bunny treated his caregivers like servants. Everyone soon became obedient, and the team built him a kingdom to rule.
When he moved in with the team, he took charge of the other rescued animals. The team’s shelter now answers to a bunny who arrived with nothing but a neglected past.
How to help the rescue
Stan and his team rescue dogs, cats and the occasional bunny in Moldova. They need help continuing their heroic work, and they accept donations through PayPal, Happy Pot and GoFundMe. Direct bank transfers are also accepted.
Abandoned animals are only one part of a wider welfare problem, as this camera trap study on South Africa’s declining cheetahs shows.
The appeal above comes from the rescue group itself. The Warm Hearts for Cold Noses association runs the shelter and asks donors to mark each transfer as a donation.
