Kylie McCloskey, a New York PetSmart employee, was having a typical day at work when a client approached her to inquire about an unusual box that was parked outside the business.
McCloskey told The Dodo, “I raced outside and spotted a package next to a garbage can. “I was immediately overcome with rage.”
The cardboard box had a hand-drawn sign taped to the front that said, “I called police, animal control, SPCA … no one wants me. Please help me.” When McCloskey opened it up, a scared rabbit looked back at her.
Someone had abandoned her there, with no concern for where she ended up next.
Shortly after McCloskey picked up the box and took the rabbit inside, she decided to adopt her into the family.
McCloskey stated, “I couldn’t believe someone could just leave their cat outside in the cold like that.” I requested that he pick her up and bring her home over the phone to my boyfriend.
The bunny, whom the couple named Mooloo, was so cold and scared that she barely wanted to move from the box when she first got home. Luckily, after a few minutes indoors, she started warming up and hopped outside the box to explore.
“She showed interest and curiosity, but was pretty shy,” McCloskey said. “Each day she has opened up more and more. She has become more playful, energetic and has showed signs of being relaxed as well.”
Luckily, Mooloo is showing every sign of being healthy, and also has a great appetite.
Rabbits are especially sensitive animals, but when comfortable, they love running around and exploring just like dogs or cats. They can also be very affectionate; many rabbits will give their family little kisses on their hands or faces to show love.
And thanks to McCloskey, Mooloo has a family now — and she’ll never be left to fend for herself in the cold ever again. She is the family’s first-ever bunny, and she’s doing quite a good job at showing just how energetic and playful they can be.
“They rabbits are amazing,” McCloskey said. “Yesterday she was zooming all over the place and playing tag with us. She loves when we have floor time and will run laps around your legs like it’s a racetrack.
You can tell that she is a lot more comfortable than she was at first, and is even comfortable with my dog and cat.”
Little Mooloo has already already won her new family’s hearts, and all it took was their generosity to transform her life.
