If you have paid due attention to the news, you would have learned about the unfortunate case of Ms Pauline Chin, owner of a makeshift shelter at Farmart who had died of an asthma attack in her shop, leaving behind hundreds of animals including rabbits, cats, guinea pigs and dogs.
According to the news, the dogs have been claimed by their owners but the remaining 38 rabbits and 50 cats still need our help.
The rabbits and guinea pigs have been taken in by the HRSS (House Rabbit Society of Singapore) while the cats are in good hands with the CWS (Cat Welfare Society).
This Facebook page set up by an acquaintance from the HRSS is dedicated to the rescue of the Farmart rabbits where official updates will be announced.
As most of these rabbits are showing signs of distress, they will not be put up for adoption yet till they get the all clear from the vet.
Do help to raise awareness by sharing the plight of these rabbits so that they could get the help they needed:
a. DONATIONS towards the medical treatment, daily supplies (hay and pellets), sheltering and sterilisation of 37 rabbits and 4 guinea pigsNo amount is too insignificant as it all add up eventually. If, however, you can't help out with monetary donations, then at least help to share this page. Someone you know might be able to help.
b. FOSTERING of the animals (commitment of 6 months and experience in rabbit care preferred as most of the animals are unwell, e.g. scabies)
We hope to raise a minimum sum of $10,000. Here are some approximate costs for your reference:
a. Treatment of scabies: $50 per rabbit
b. Sterilisation: $100 per male rabbit, $150 per female rabbit
