My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bunnie is a fighter and an incredibly special cat. He was found living in a construction site. One day he decided to ask for help from one of the colony feeders in the area. He sat underneath a mailbox crying for days.

We were able to take him into foster care and realized something was wrong. He was eating and eating and eating and not growing. And then his breathing became laborious.

He was originally diagnosed with FIP, a fatal disease (although treatable through black market drugs). Two vets told us to euthanize. We started to treat for FIP but that diagnosis just didn’t sit right. Kittens dying from FIP don’t eat! And he was eating. And because he was eating, we knew he wanted to live.

Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge stepped up to get him an emergency appointment at Oradell Animal Hospital. It was quickly discovered that he did not have FIP but his diaphragm was herniated and his intestines were pushing up against his lungs. No wonder he was having a hard time breathing!

He recovered from his surgery very well. He gained all the weight he needed to gain. He was neutered and now he’s ready for his own furrever home.

Bunnie is a fighter and a very special cat. He’s about 8 months old now. Shy at first, he quickly warms up to you. His fosters call him the “best cat ever.” He needs a home with another cat buddy.

Bunnie is neutered, FeLV/FIV negative and updated on vaccines. He has no health issues now!
