Ratty Haven
Banned
I am very sorry to have to make this post and although everything may well be ok in the end I have to prepare for the worst for the sake of the rabbits and other animals here at the centre or they may well be all PTS.
As many of you know I run Ratty Haven Rodent Rescue in Exmouth, Devon. Well the council marched on to my property and have decided I need planning permission, I don't know what is going on as the council tell me one thing and then say another.
From what I can understand I have 2 months to make the application and send them £300. I don't have £300 and don't know how I am meant to rasie it either. But is this isn't rasised then the centre has to close and accprding to the council the animals have to be removed.
Even if this money is rasied the application can still be rejected. So Ratty Haven will still have to close. I am devistated about the whole thing as my family and my self have put so much effort into the centre including spending the last of our family savings on the heated shed, which will have to be ripped down.
I am not feeling very well phycially or mentally at present and I sturggling to cope with all that is happening around me. All the animals need to find new homes ASAP just to be safe as I would be more able to concentrate on the planning isuues when I know I don't have X amount of animals which could face being PTS in two months.
I am unable to offer transport for any animals due to me current state but if anyone can offer a home to any of the rabbits here please let me know. I may take a while in getting back to you, but I will do.
Here is a basic list of rabbits at the centre:
Parsley & Thyme - adult does part of a curlety case very nervous but good with other rabbits.
Halfa Rabbit - found as a stray mini lop agouti don't know his age just been castrated, very friendly and easy to handle
Billy & Jackie - Dwaft lop castreated and black and white english billy is 1yr & Jackie is 3yrs. Both very friendly (these may have homes but not 100% sure)
Nero - fluffy black buck due in to be castrated in the next two weeks, nice chap needs lots of exercise
Dax - black & white lop due to be castrated in the next couple of weeks, nice boy
Bam Bam - black & white lion head x 30 weeks nice boy due to be castrated in the next couple of weeks
Thumpa - black lop x 30 weeks nice lad very tame loves cuddles castrated a few days ago
Flo - chinchilla lop nice girl not been here long
Buddy & Dotty - lion head x buddy found as a stray castrated light brown Dotty 9 months black & white
Violet - very aggressive nightmare rabbit found as a stray needs very special home.
Eyor - black & white lop x 20 months old. Nice bunnie just been castrated
Sammy - black & white lion head x 9 months nice boy just been castrated.
I also have many many rats which need homes as well as one female guinea pig who sister died and 3 hamsters. I am hoping I will be able to keep my own pets.
