LONELY rabbit Fiva has been lodging at the RSPCA animal shelter in Altham since March last year and is desperate for a friend and a permanent home.

Fiva is a female who was found straying and, despite being up for adoption for nearly two years, is always passed over by visitors.

Rabbits are social animals and RSPCA staff say Fiva, who is a pretty black and white adult rabbit, should be rehomed with a neutered buck, which they can provide.

If anyone has a lone neutered male rabbit the RSPCA will introduce him to Fiva on neutral territory and see if they get along. Contact the animal home on 01254 231118.
