AN ad-hop-tion appeal has been launched by the RSPCA to find valentines day bunny Casanova a home.
The rescued rabbit has spent over 200 days at an RSPCA centre and is still searching for his soulmate.
Casanova, a one-year-old False Netherland Dwarf, came into The Holdings just before Valentine’s Day, which led to staff naming him after the fabled romantic.
Claire Wood, who volunteers at 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.”
Casanova is described as adventurous, with a fun and entertaining personality that puts a smile on the face of everyone who looks after him.
His favourite pastime is charging around his enclosure and playing with his treat ball.
Claire added: “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 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 last year.
In August, the centre saw 61 unwanted animals come through its doors – including three abandoned rabbits and nine cats on one day alone – and spent over £7,500 on veterinary care.
