The truth is, we’re not really supposed to talk about ourselves much in rescue work. The focus should always be on the animals. But after losing Viggo, I think people deserve honesty too.

His passing hit me incredibly hard. We truly believed he was saveable. We were so close to the end of this journey with him, and every day we kept seeing little signs of progress. Endless vet visits, laser therapy, bandage changes, medications, sleepless nights, hope, time, money, love… and then suddenly he was just gone.

I am devastated.

I think part of why this loss hurt so deeply is because grief never really exists by itself. Sometimes one loss opens the door to older ones you never fully healed from. Losing animals so often has a way of tying itself to every other heartbreak you carry. I know now there are still parts of my mother’s passing I haven’t fully worked through either.

And honestly, this is another reason closing Flufflepuff is the right decision.

People think rescue is just cute bunnies and happy endings, but sometimes it’s carrying loss after loss and somehow still getting up the next morning to keep going. I’m realizing I may not be strong enough to keep surviving these hits forever, and I think it’s okay to admit that.

Right now we only have 3 rescue rabbits left here.

Two already have a home lined up together, which makes me incredibly happy. And then there’s Labubu. She was bitten by a skunk months ago and has been in strict quarantine ever since. On the 13th next month, she will finally be free from quarantine and officially ready to start looking for her forever home.

I would really love to see her get the happy ending she deserves.

Thank you to everyone who has stood beside us through the beautiful moments and the heartbreaking ones too. Flufflepuff may be nearing the end of its story, but these rabbits mattered. Every single one mattered.

It’s taken me a little while to find the words for this one.

Sweet Viggo passed away.

From the moment he arrived at Flufflepuff, we knew we were dealing with something incredibly serious and complicated.

Viggo had suffered a traumatic injury before coming to us, leaving him with severe nerve damage and self-mutilation behaviors that were heartbreaking to witness.

Despite intensive treatment, regular veterinary care, laser therapy, bandage changes, medications, protective measures, and constant monitoring, his little body continued to struggle.

We fought very hard for him alongside our veterinary team. There were moments where things seemed hopeful. We celebrated every small victory — eating on his own, resting comfortably, using his litter box, healing tissue finally returning. We truly believed he deserved every chance we could give him.

But sometimes love means recognizing when a body cannot heal the way we wish it could.

When his condition worsened and it became clear he was suffering, the decision was made to let him go peacefully and with dignity.

Viggo was deeply loved here. He was never alone, never discarded, and never treated like he was “too much work.” He mattered immensely to us, and losing him has been devastating.

Thank you to everyone who cared about him, rooted for him, sent kind messages, prayed, donated, or simply followed his journey. Please keep our hearts in your thoughts while we grieve this little rabbit.

Viggo went back to the vet today for more bandage changes and laser therapy.

His foot still has a long road ahead, but we wanted to give everyone an honest update.

There is no more exposed bone, which is a huge victory, and we are incredibly grateful for that progress. The tissue is slowly healing and building back, but he is not fully healed yet and still needs continued care, close monitoring, and regular veterinary visits.

This sweet boy has been through so much already, but he continues to fight every single day. We are proud of him. Truly. 💚

Monday is also going to be a huge day here at Flufflepuff.

Pancakes, Luna, Buttons, and Cypress are all scheduled for their spay/neuter surgeries.

Taylor and I are tackling this mission together, and while it will be busy and exhausting, it is also the kind of progress we have worked so hard toward. Every surgery means a healthier future, better lives, and one more step toward stability and forever homes.

There is so much good happening here right now, even in the middle of difficult moments. Healing. Growth. New beginnings.

If anyone is able to help us continue this work, we could really use support with donations right now.

Between Viggo’s ongoing wound care, laser treatments, bandage changes, medications, and four surgeries happening Monday, things are adding up quickly.

Every single donation, share, kind comment, and prayer helps carry these rabbits forward.

Thank you for continuing to believe in us and in these bunnies. We are tired, but we are still moving forward one paw at a time. 🐇

The rescue world is hurting right now.

Lately we have seen more and more stories of animal rescuers, fosters, and sanctuaries becoming overwhelmed. Sometimes it begins with one extra intake “just for tonight.” Then another emergency. Another abandoned litter. Another medical case. Another animal you know may not survive without help.

People outside of rescue often imagine burnout as something dramatic that happens all at once, but the truth is it usually happens slowly.

Quietly compassion fatigue builds over months and years of sleepless nights, financial stress, heartbreaking losses, emergency vet visits, surrender requests, and the impossible feeling that saying “no” means an animal may suffer.

This is not written to shame anyone. The animals who suffer in these situations deserve compassion and protection, but so do the human beings who once started out simply wanting to help. Rescue burnout is real, and pretending otherwise helps no one.

Domestic rabbits especially are often misunderstood as “easy” pets when in reality they require specialized veterinary care, proper housing, quality nutrition, temperature control, enrichment, spay/neuter surgeries, and significant daily cleaning and social interaction.

They are fragile emotionally and physically, and caring for large numbers quickly becomes overwhelming without enough support, funding, and structure.

One of the most important lessons we have learned through Flufflepuff’s journey is that responsible rescue also means knowing your limits. It means asking for help before things become unmanageable. It means networking with other rescues, utilizing fosters, reducing intake when necessary, and understanding that you cannot save every single animal alone.

If you support animal rescue, please remember that sustainable rescue requires community.
Not just during emergencies, but all the time.

Support your local rescues.
Foster when you can.
Donate when possible.
Volunteer your time.
Share educational posts.
And most importantly, show compassion to the people carrying this emotional weight every day.

The goal is not to be a hero.
The goal is for the animals to remain safe, healthy, and loved. ❤️

There are some people you can never fully thank… but we’re going to try. 🤍

Today we want to take a moment to recognize our most steadfast volunteers—Hope Duncan, Stevie,Lorii Lovern, and Taylor Hannahs

Hope has been with us since the early days. Not the very first, but part of that original foundation that helped build Flufflepuff into what it became. She has stood beside us through moments that feel impossible to even put into words, some of the highest highs, and some of the lowest lows.

When my mom passed away, Hope came over and quietly cleaned so we could focus on family.

When things got complicated, painful, and even unstable behind the scenes, she was there—present, steady, and unwavering.

She didn’t just help the rescue… she helped hold it together.

And Stevie… there truly aren’t enough words.

Night after night, without fail, he was there—changing water bowls, feeding bunnies, sitting with them, playing with them, loving them. On the long days, the hard days, the days where everything felt like too much—Stevie stepped in and carried weight that most people would never even see.

He didn’t just help… he showed up, over and over again.

Together, Hope and Stevie helped pick up the pieces during some of our hardest chapters and helped rebuild Flufflepuff into something stronger, safer, and more grounded.

Soon after, Lorii and Taylor came in during a time when we were at our lowest. They saw our hearts, they saw the rabbits, and they chose to stay. They gave everything they had, and together, we became a true team. We’ve done events, rescues, long days, hard nights and we thrived because of them.

I have always done my best to be open and honest, I live with mental illness.

It’s easy for people to say they support that—until they actually see it. Until it’s messy, overwhelming, real.

A lot of people walk away.

Hope didn’t.
Stevie didn’t.
Lorii didn’t.
Taylor didn’t.

They stayed through the good, the bad, the tears, the frustration, and the victories. They stayed when it wasn’t easy. They stayed when it mattered most.

Flufflepuff Rabbit Rescue would not have existed—or survived—without our volunteers.

From the bottom of our hearts… thank you. We love you.

If you’ve ever been part of this journey, drop a comment below and help us celebrate the people who made this mission possible. 🐰🤍

This one is important to us.

Yesterday, four of our rabbits—Blue Ribbons, Seraphina Nova, Penny, and King Louie—left Flufflepuff and went into the care of Always Sunny Sanctuary and Rescue.

And while we will miss them deeply, there is something we need to say, clearly, honestly, and with our whole hearts.

It has always been Isis.

When we were at our lowest, overwhelmed, trying to do the right thing but in over our heads, who showed up?

Isis.

No judgment. No lectures. No looking down on us.
She saw our intentions, she understood our hearts, and she stepped in when we needed help the most.

She took on the feral rabbits without hesitation. She didn’t make us feel small for not knowing what we were getting into—she just helped.

And now, as we close this chapter of Flufflepuff… who is here again, helping us do this the right way?

Isis.

Taking in four of our sweetest rabbits.
Stepping up so they can continue their journey with the same love and care they’ve always deserved.

That kind of consistency… that kind of character… it matters.

There are a lot of people in rescue, but not everyone shows up when it’s hard. Not everyone leads with compassion over ego.

Isis does.

She is no-nonsense, grounded, and genuinely here for the animals and for the people trying to help them.

We are so grateful. Truly.

If you support us, please go support them.
Go give Always Sunny Sanctuary and Rescue a follow, show them some love, and keep up with the beautiful work they’re doing.

Because rescues like theirs are the reason rabbits like ours get second chances.

Thank you, Isis. For then, for now, and for always showing up.

Today feels surreal.

We know for a fact Viggo is officially the last bunny to ever be welcomed into Flufflepuff.

We’ve marked Flufflepuff as “temporarily closed” on Google—for now. In a few weeks, that will become permanent. Even typing that doesn’t quite feel real yet.

Next week, Always Sunny will be taking in four of our rabbits. After that we will have two of whom already have loving homes lined up. Along with them, we still have our two “sick” bunnies: Labubu, who will remain in quarantine until June, and Viggo, still healing with his foot.

Such small numbers… headed toward zero.

It’s overwhelming in a quiet way.

I’m so incredibly grateful—to everyone who helped keep Flufflepuff alive and thriving, to those helping me gently close the doors on this chapter, and especially to the few who have been here through both the beginning and the ending.

Flufflepuff has been so much more than just a rescue. And while this chapter is coming to an end, the love behind it isn’t going anywhere.💜

Today I took a break from staying by Viggo’s side to go downstairs and clean… and it hit me harder than I expected.

I’m really going to miss this—these bunnies, this work, this whole chapter of my life.

Ending Flufflepuff is something I know I have to do, but that doesn’t make it easy. This journey has taught me so much. The bunnies taught me patience, resilience, and how to keep showing up even on the hardest days.

Along the way I gained incredible friends, lost people I love, and never stopped learning how to be better.

Right now I’m feeling… a lot. Grateful, emotional, a little unsure but also certain that this mattered.

💜 Viggo Update 💜

Viggo is doing so well. Today is the first day in a while he hasn’t needed a vet visit, which feels like such a win. We’ll still be heading to the vet first thing tomorrow to check on his paw, but we’ve made it to every-other-day visits now.

I’m so proud of him.

He’s eating, drinking, trying new foods, and just being himself. I sleep next to him, spend my days with him, he really is the goodest boi. He even takes his meds like a champ. And yes… he still has the longest, cutest tail, I need to get a picture of it stretched out soon 🐰

Today we’re also leaning on our volunteers to help with cleaning while I stay focused on Viggo. Flufflepuff has always been a team effort, and it’s only ever worked because of people showing up for each other.

To everyone who has followed, supported, and listened—thank you. Truly.

Before I go, I want to ask something a little different:
If you were giving up one passion to fully focus on another… what would your new focus be?

I’d really love to hear your thoughts.

Viggo got forage on his head as I was dropping it down he was so excited 😂

It’s been a lot over here lately… the kind of “a lot” that you feel in your bones.

First, Viggo.

His paw still looks pretty gruesome, I won’t sugarcoat it. It’s healing and today we finally let ourselves believe something we’ve been so scared to hope for… he’s going to keep his foot.

Natalie at Hodes assured us and that relief is indescribable. Tomorrow at 9am he goes back in for another bandage change and laser therapy, and we just keep taking it one step at a time.

I’ve basically been living beside him. I haven’t even slept in my own bed. I stay with him, always. When you love them like this, there’s no other option.

Since so much of my time is taken up by Viggo, a big transition is starting.

Always Sunny Sanctuary and Rescue is stepping in to take some of our bunnies into their program.

I don’t even have the words for how grateful I am, especially to Isis. They’re not just helping, they’re showing up with kindness, support, and belief in what comes next for me and for Flufflepuff.

This is going to help us lower our numbers and move closer to closing this chapter of Flufflepuff… and me beginning a new one.

We will still have some bunnies here, but this is a big step forward. A needed one.

On another note, something really good is happening too—four of our rabbits are getting fixed in early May. They all already have homes lined up, which is such a huge success and something we’re really proud of. This is why we do what we do.

I’m exhausted. I’m emotional. I’m hopeful.

And I’m so, so grateful for the people and rescues who show up when it matters most 🤍

Viggo update 🐰💛 (wound healing + behavior)

He’s been through a lot with this wound, but he is healing. The tissue looks healthier, the inflammation is going down, and we’re finally moving in the right direction.

But what makes me the most proud isn’t just how it looks, it’s him.

Viggo is eating again, using his litter box, and acting more like himself even while wearing his cone and leg wrap. And somehow… he takes all of his meds like an absolute champ. No fighting, just trust.

There were moments I was really scared we weren’t going to get here. Seeing him improve like this honestly brought me to tears.

We’re not fully healed yet, but this is real progress and I am so, so proud of him.💜
