Adopted December 24, 2005 by Nicola and "Binky"

Hi folks, my name is Alfie, and I'm a silver/grey male Jersey Wooly, and I'm about a year old. And I'm quite a fluffball, as you can see.

When I was a baby, I was bought at a tag sale as a pet for someone's child. I was excited to have my very own human, and I thought I'd have a nice life in a loving home. But then I found out something that a lot of bunnies already know - children lose interest in things really fast. I tried to keep my human's interest, but I couldn't. The next thing I knew, they put me in a small wire cage in a dark garage. It was very lonely out there, and I was sad, cold, and frightened, and I couldn't figure out what I did wrong.

Someone in the family would come out from time to time, and I'd get so excited - but they didn't give me any chance to love them - they just put food and water in my small cage, and then left me all alone again. I felt like I had become a burden to them. Some nights I would cry, but no one cared. I thought, so this is what my life is going to be?

Since my fur is very long, I'm supposed to be groomed every day so I can look and feel my best. But no one wanted to be bothered, so my fur started to get all matted and it even started growing around the wires of the cage, and my nails never got clipped so they got very long. I was always uncomfortable and sad. Why would someone bring me home and then just put me in the garage and forget about me like that?

Finally, 3 Bunnies came to rescue me. I was so happy someone wanted to take care of me. They took me into foster care, groomed my fur and clipped my nails, and it felt so good. Now I can run around and play and binky and have lots of fun, leaping in the air and hopping in and out of my hay box!! I even have a stuffed bunny to keep me company and I groom him just like I would a real bunny friend. The people here think I'm a goofball (that's what they say, when they think I'm not listening), and they seem to actually like me. What's even better is, when they bring me food, they pay attention to me - they pet me and kiss me and tell me how wonderful I am. I knew I was wonderful, I just hadn't felt that way in so long.

I feel so much better now, and I am once again happy. All that's missing is a loving family that will bring me into their home and let me share all my love with them. I don't mind being held, as long as you're nice to me. I really like people, and I also like bunnies, so maybe some day I'll have a bunny friend too. So, will you be my favorite person and adopt me?

Thanks for reading!!
Alfie
