Lort Smith adopted Cyril Shoelace rabbit

When this tiny bunny was surrendered to Lort Smith, he weighed just 200 grams, and his thigh bone was broken.

Our vets repaired the fracture with a pin. Then he went into foster care to heal, somewhere quiet where he could grow and get stronger.

It didn't take long for his foster carers to fall in love. They joined what we fondly call the Foster Fail Club, and adopted him.

And his name? His new family couldn't agree, so they gave him both: Cyril Shoelace.
