Norma Jean

Meet Norma Jean, a gorgeous Jersey Wooly rabbit with the IndyCLAW Rescue! She is estimated to be around 7 or 8 years old. Norma Jean was a beloved pet whose owner went through a sudden life change and Norma needs to find a new home where she can be groomed (frequently) and adored. Like to knit? If you bring Norma Jean home you can spin her beautiful wool into yarn and make a scarf! She’s an absolute sweetheart and love bunny, but she needs to either be the only bun or housed independently as she prefers to be Queen of the Castle. Norma Jean’s adoption fee is $80. For more information on Norma Jean, please visit IndyCLAW‘s website or email adopt@indyclaw.org … visits are by appointment only!<br/><br/>Angora rabbits should be gently brushed daily or at minimum once or twice a week. Regular grooming's keeps their coats free from mats, cleans up debris, enables you to catch problems sooner, & helps reduce the risk of wool block thanks to the removal of loose hairs. Most angoras will naturally shed their coats 3 - 4 times a year (approx. every 90 days). You can have the wool pulled or plucked by hand when the rabbit starts to molt. The hair should pull easily & not require force to remove. If it hurts the rabbit, the rabbit is not ready for wool removal & you should stop & try again in about a week.<br/><br/>All rabbits must have an adequate exercise area, whether it is a supervised exercise pen or an area in the house. The most important component of the rabbit's diet is hay, a roughage that reduces the chance of blockages and malocclusion while providing indigestible fiber necessary to keep the gut moving. Grass hays such as timothy are generally preferred. Lastly, always remember that your bunny needs to have some type of rabbit approved wooden chew toy, so that they may wear down their teeth to help prevent malocclusion (abnormal tooth growth) issues. <br/><br/>IndyCLAW Rescue is founded on the premise of 'Creating Life-long Animal Welfare'. We do have an adoption contract and do home visits to ensure that this pet will be achieving a life-long home. There is also an adoption fee. Each rabbit is spayed / neutered prior to adoption and the adoption fee only partially reimburses our expenses in preparing your new pet. Because of the home visit, we must limit the adoption distance to within one hour travel from our shelter. We do not ship our adoptable pets nor do we adopt unaltered rabbits.<br/><br/>Having trouble deciding which bun will be your companion? Consider being an IndyCLAW volunteer. You will clean bunny cages and provide socialization to the many rabbits we have in our shelter and can learn their many different personalities to be able to make an informed choice. You'd still be welcomed to continue being a volunteer. We have a few fosters, all of which are volunteers, for some special rabbits ranging from buns needing TLC or meds to those that just need time away from the shelter to be a house rabbit with individual attention. Also, for a reasonable donation to IndyCLAW, we can house your rabbit or place it with a foster while you are away on vacation, business trip, hospitalization or other short term event causing you to be away.<br/><br/>*Due to most rabbits being rescued as strays or brought in from animal control, most rabbits' birthdays are unknown and ages are a best guess.*<br/><br/>Interested in adopting Norma Jean, fill out an application at indyclaw.org and email the completed application to adopt@indyclaw.org.
