Fat Fluffs Ballooning Night!!
On Wednesday night a group of us met up at HQ to do some balloon modelling which proved a blast and with much enthusiasm and (in some rather more than others) great skill we managed to fill Chloe's house with dogs, flowers & rabbits. By the end we were proudly showing off our creations and Lucy set off with her catalogue with the intent to do some balloon shopping so we could put our new found talents into practice at our next event!
Many thanks to Brett for giving his time and we hope you didn't think we were too crazy.

Fat Fluffs 2nd Birthday Party!
Where has the last year gone?! It didn't seem five minutes since our 1st birthday party and yet Fat Fluffs has already reached the ripe old age of 2! So, on Sunday 18th July we hosted our Birthday Party at our Solihull HQ.
Despite the fluctuating weather during the week we were blessed with a dry day and friends old and new packed the garden. There were dozens of foster bunnies in pens in the garden, more in the garden and the sanctuary Fat Fluffs free-ranging in the garden. We had had 22 new arrivals on Friday but had just about managed to squeeze them in! Lucy and Julian did a roaring trade on the BBQ, as did Alison with the teas and coffees. The conservatory was all hands on deck and looked fantastic at opening hour and special thanks go to Eloise who worked so hard during the set up. The bunny toys and treats were snapped up and everyone tried their luck on the tombola! The day flew by as we all chatted about and cuddled bunnies and we were all absolutely thrilled when we counted up the takings from the day. Our 2nd Birthday Party fundraiser had taken just a few pence over £1000 … this will help a LOT of bunnies. Thank you to everyone who supported us we hope you enjoyed the day too!

Win a Mini and raise funds for the buns!
Your chance to win a MINI First & help Fat Fluffs raise much-needed Bunny Money!
Fat Fluffs has signed up to The Great BIG Small Charity Car Draw to boost our fundraising income so we can continue our work rescuing & rehoming the ever increasing number of abandoned & abused rabbits that come to us. Each £2 ticket gives you a chance to win a brand new MINI First & 95.2% of that comes to our charity – so if we sell 100 tickets that’s £190.40 you’ve helped us raise and means that we can invest in some new event equipment to maximise our fundraising potential when attending the numerous fetes, festivals & shows we visit year-round to generate funds to support our bunnies.
Tickets are available to purchase via FF trustees, volunteers & supporters; at forthcoming events or on-line through our FSI charity page http://www.thefsi.org/fsi/charityprofile/fat-fluffs-rabbit-rescue

You can help FF's fundraise without leaving home!
One of our most successful fundraisers is our Tombola which Vickie runs at events. Every time we run it we raise significant funds for the rabbits and it gets completely depleted. If you have any unwanted presents or items you would like to donate to our tombola we would really appreciate it. Please email Vickie (vickie@fatfluffs.com) and she will arrange collection. Thank you.

Lost ....
... in the Hillfield area of Solihull "Cocoa" is a neutered male rabbit, four years old and a golden tan colour. His owner is missing him very much. If anyone has seen or found a bun matching his description please do get in touch. He looks similar to the group of 5buns at the top of our web pages.
Thank you.

Hatton Colouring Competition Winner
Congratulations to our winner Mariella Malwah, age 11, from Hall Green. Her fabulous colouring really caught Sally and Abi's eyes and, although it was a difficult decision as all the pictures were so good, they loved her use of colour and careful style. Here is her picture - Mariella is now one of our very special sponsor a bun friends and will have the difficult choice of which bun she would like to support!

Sponsor one of our long term buns
We have three buns with us at the moment who are going to be with us long term for health reasons. Buffy is a beautiful tortoiseshell lionhead but she has terrible teeth. Two fell out when the vet tried to file the spurs down during her spay and she needs to regularly see our "toothy vet" Rebecca to keep them under control. She also has a cataract in her right eye which although it doesn't bother her needs regular medication.
Charlie Too also came in as he had continuing health problems which his mum couldn't get on top of and his vet bills were mounting up. Charlie Too has severe pasturella and whilst we haven't as yet been able to find a solution to his sneezes we are managing it and he is a happy little boy. He has regular medication, morning and night, which he is very good about taking.
Laurel is a really friendly girl and so is her husbun Hardy. She came in with a severe abscess over her left eye and initially it was feared she would lose the eye. But Rebecca managed to operate and remove the abscess without Laurel suffering this loss. We will keep a close eye on it and see how she progresses. Laurel also unfortunately suffers with severe dental issues and again needs regular appointments to get these seen to and as long as they are looked after she eats well and is a very outgoing and happy little girl.
It costs just £24 a year, or £2 a month and all sponsor money for these buns will go directly towards their vet bills, vaccinations and past and potentially future operations. If you would like to find out more about supporting one of our buns, either for yourself or as a present for a friend, please drop us an email at sponsor@fatfluffs.com and we will send you more info; every penny makes a difference and makes the vets bills for these three gorgeous buns that little bit easier on the rescue.
Thank you.
And here is a sneak preview of the pack you will receive with your sponsorship......

Fat Fluffs Bunny Bonanza
We had an absolutely fantastic day at Hatton Country Park on Bank Holiday Monday. The weather was pretty good and the bunnies were absolute stars as always and our volunteers were in their element chatting bunnies and helping us with all our competitions and our popular Tombola! We raised a grand total of £1800 of which almost £1000 was fundraising and a massive thank you goes out to all our volunteers and to everyone who came along and supported us. We couldn't have done it without you and it will make such a difference to the bunnies.
We are delighted as well to be able to announce the winners of our competitions:
The winner of our "Guess how many sweets are in the Jar" was Lena who guessed 150 and there were, in fact, 149. Congratulations to Lena!!
And last but not least Congratulations to Amy who correctly guessed our "Name the bun" bunny was called Boots! She is on her way to you now. Thank you for giving her a home!
