So today is my birthday I had the day off work and needed to take the cat for a routine blood test at the vets (he has hyperthyroidism) but I read a message sent to our Rescue from a woman who wanted her rabbit taken in 'like yesterday' as she'd moved house and left the rabbit in a hutch at the old house. The lady who runs the Rescue tried to arrange a time and place to collect the rabbit, but the stupid woman wouldn't budge an inch, it had to be at her convenience, not the Rescue's. I tried to contact her to see if I could go today to collect it and she basically told me to F* off and mind my own business. I rang the housing association office to get someone to go and see if the rabbit was still at the empty house, which they did and rang me back to say the rabbit was there with no food or water. The water bottle was dry. I asked the association woman to fill the bottle up and put some grass in, I hope she did. The owner of the rabbit has sent a load of abusive messages to the Rescue and to me, telling us to mind our own business, which has caused a lot of upset, and I now feel so depressed, thinking of that poor little soul sitting there waiting for someone to care about it. I wish I could go and get it, but I cannot trespass onto their property, and steal the rabbit. The lady at the Rescue is at her wits' end, she has family problems and in tears over this. It's not the first time she's been on the receiving end of abuse over peoples' pets. I'm worried if I ring the RSPCA the owner will know it's us and cause more problems. She says she has another home for it. I hope the housing association will keep an eye on it, but I'm not sure.
