SSPCA appeal after rabbits found abandoned in Glasgow

The Scottish SPCA is seeking information after two rabbits were found at an address in Glasgow.

Scotland’s animal welfare charity was notified by a member of the public who found the small animals in Lesmuir Place in the early hours of Monday October 7.

Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer Lindsay said: "The rabbits were found in a filthy cage at the bottom of the caller’s steps outside their home.

"They are both female and one of them is very lean.

"There was a water bottle in the cage but it was empty.

"We are grateful to the member of the public who took the animals into their home and provided them with food and comfort before alerting us in the morning.

"They are being cared for at our Lanarkshire Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre. The team have named them Lillian and Ruth.

"We would like to speak to the person responsible for abandoning these rabbits. If anyone can help with our enquiry, we would urge them to call our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999."
