I had a chance to talk with Cindy Hildebrand, director and founder of the charitable not-for-profit Popcorns and Binkies Rescue Haven. For over 5 years the organization exclusively helps exotic animals and ‘pocket pets,’ such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, and hedgehogs.
The rescue is currently foster-based and is looking for a physical shelter to provide emergency intake space. To help with its goal, Popcorns and Binkies launched the ‘Stairway to Haven’ campaign on Monday to raise $150,000 towards getting that shelter location. Hildebrand said that post-pandemic, many animals have been surrendered and need a placement. Since Popcorns and Binkies is one of the few places that take in exotic animals and pocket pets, the rescue needs more space to care for all the animals coming in.
