You might want to look on some local social media pages and see if someone has lost a rabbit, or call some of the local vets. Call some of your neighbors--he probably didn't come from too far away. I would suspect one of your cats brought it in. No marks on him? He probably is pretty freaked out.

Most feed stores (like Tractor Supply) carry rabbit supplies. I think even places like Walmart do now. I'd recommend wood shavings (pine, comes in bags) in the crate instead of a towel. Easy to scoop out any messes, and refresh (kind of like cleaning a cat litter box). Most people feed alfalfa pellets.

Keep an eye on the water level to make sure he's figured out how to drink out of the bottle.

Please keep us posted.

You did great. You gave them a great home. I think cats are happier when they get to go outside. Esp applegrove May 2020 #24
