Rescue bunny Casanova receives just a single rehoming enquiry in 200 days
A lonely rescue rabbit is still looking for his soulmate after spending more than 200 days at an RSPCA centre - with just a single rehoming enquiry.
Casanova, a one-year-old False Netherland Dwarf, was rescued just before Valentine’s Day, which led to staff naming him after the fabled romantic.
The Worcestershire rescue and rehoming centre also took in his bunny friend Valentino, but the two didn’t see eye to eye and the decision was made to rehome them separately with female friends.
Valentino was quickly adopted, but staff have been left baffled as to why Casanova has received next to no interest during his seven-month stay.
Claire Wood, who volunteers at the centre which is run by the RSPCA’s Worcester and Mid Worcestershire branch, said: "We’ve only had one person enquire about adopting Casanova and it’s so sad to see him waiting so long while so many other rabbits have come and gone.
“He may be small but his character is most definitely larger than life.
"He previously lived as an indoor rabbit and was free roaming, so a similar set-up in a new home would be the ideal option for him, although he could also live outside and we’d encourage people to have a look at our rabbit housing requirements.
"He’s happy to be stroked but he mainly enjoys having a good run around and exploring.
"He’s a perfect little rabbit who is just longing to leave rescue and start a new life with a female friend and we’d urge anyone who thinks they might be in a position to help to fill in an application form."
Casanova is one of 255 unwanted, abandoned and neglected animals taken in by The Holdings so far this year, an increase of 20 per cent compared to the same period last year.
