Kela

I work at the PetSmart in Ancaster and we just had one of our many adoption weekends this past weekend. There were so many cats on Friday evening when I came into work and when everyone left at 4p.m. on Sunday there were only about 2 cats if that. I was so happy to see them all go to good homes. Even the one cat we had in out adoption center in the store. She had been with us for a few weeks and we were very glad to see her go. Everyone in the store was happy and that brought a huge smile to the lady who adopted her. She was also one of your cats. You also had 2 bunnies with you guys and Having 2 already I didn't want to get another, but there sat Kela (formerly Snowflake) a beautiful tri broken Rex. She was very timid but very pretty. I held her Friday night but thought that she shed too much. Then on Saturday morning I held her again and as I left work that evening I told myself that if she was there Sunday I would get her but then later that night I got to thinking again and thought that 3 rabbits would be a lot to handle so again i changed my mind. When Sunday came I was sure I wasn't going to get her so I left my carrier at home. I got into work and her cage had been moved so I thought she was gone, I was a little sad but a little happy at the same time. When I walked around to where her cage was I saw her again and again was stuck between a hard place and a very cute bunny who needed a good home. I asked one of the girls what time they were leaving and they said 4. My shift wasn't over till 7. I asked my manager if there was any way that I could set up a cage in the back and put her in there and he said yes. So at about 12:30 Kela(just over a year) was mine. She has been with me for almost a week and I love her more each day. She has Pancakes her Lionhead(2 years) brother and Truffle (Truffle-Bunny)[8.5 months] her Himalayan sister. They all get along great. Kela is my first shelter bunny. We got Pancakes from someone going away to college so we saved him from going to a shelter and Truffle was a meat rabbit, the smallest in the litter. I'd have to say that I think if I were to get another rabbit it would be from a shelter. But that will not be for a while.
