This week we are meeting Ruth and May! They're two bonded bunnies looking for a loving home together.
Here's a little bit about them:
Names: Ruth & May
Age: 1 year, 1 month
Location: Westport Branch
Area: Rabbit Kennel
Rabbits make wonderfully social family pets! However, be sure to familiarize yourself with their care and enrichment needs before adopting. Although relatively easy to care for once you know how, rabbits do require more attention than most people typically think. Rabbits may be able to live in pairs. When bonded, they will groom each other and snuggle together for companionship.
Solo rabbits will need more human social time than pairs. Curious and social, rabbits do benefit from a lot of time out of their cage and can be litter box trained so they can roam freely in a safe environment.
While rabbits vary greatly in size, the average rabbit may weigh approximately 5 pounds and can live 6-12 years with proper care.
Ruth: I am so bonded with my sister May we are looking for a home that will adopt us both!2 min - Bring your home vision to life in 2025Every Wednesday in The Feed I talk with Susie Calabrese, Home Expert and Local Realtor here in Connecticut about home tips and life hacks.

This week we have Bolt!- Bolt is an adorable 3-month-old Siberian husky mix puppy
- He came to CT Humane Society because his owner wasn't able to keep him through a move
- This pup is a high energy dog who is going to need lots of exercise every day!
- He's also going to need a lot of positive reinforcement training as he grows up, as huskies are a working breed, meaning:
- When full grown, these dogs are usually large or extra-large as adults.
- Developed for a range of tasks, working dogs are intelligent, capable and can make excellent companions.
- Working dogs are large to extra-large breeds that have been bred for their size, strength and adaptability. This means they can be very strong and easily pull or knock some owners over.
- Like all dogs, it is essential that they be trained and socialized at an early age and this should be continued on and throughout their lives.
- Many make wonderful pets and enjoy having a job to do.
If you are interested, Bolt is located at the Westport location and you can start the process by going to cthumane.org/adopt.4 min - Finding Silver Linings in Today’s Real Estate Market & Simple Ways to Celebrate Love at HomeEvery Tuesday in The Feed I talk with Susie Calabrese, Home Expert and Realtor here in Connecticut about home tips and life hacks.
