Here's what I did:

I called our TED, they don't treat rabbits :(

Emailed Sarah H at MCHA (www.monroehumane.org), which is where I volunteer.
She gave me an open 20lb bag of rabbit food, that someone had dropped off at
the shelter (it's over 1/2 full), a large handful of timothy hay and a
couple of chew sticks. I did not have it scanned for microchip as they were
super-busy at the actual shelter, and a lady DH works with says that her
family will take it - this evening!!! And will take it to her vet (if she
can get an appt) tomorrow morning. Original owner's loss is her family's
gain!

I did buy some supplies for her (since DH says that her & her family are
"not that well off", and *he approved* of the purchases): a med/small dog
crate for a cage (she said this will be an *inside* bunny), some Yesterdays
News litter (bunnies *can* be litterbox trained, but you aren't supposed to
use clay based litter - even clumping!) a small litterbox that will fit
inside the crate, food dish, water bottle (like an oversized hamster or
mouse water bottle :) ), a book about house rabbits and some treats.

I also printed out a bunch of FAQs regarding rabbit care from the House
Rabbit Society's web site (probably much of the same info as in the book I
bought, since the book was recommended by the web site), including about 8
pages regarding litter training them!

And I've let the kitties back with the bunny, since they were sooooooo
curious. Betty was the first one, and she was more wary of the bunny than
the bunny was of her! It was kind of cute - the bunny was almost chasing
her! Right now I have a pet gate across the doorway to the back porch to
keep bunny back there (I don't wanna find bunny-BB's in the living room -
bad enough there's a scattering of them around the back porch), but the
kitties have access to all areas of the house.

But in 15 minutes, off we go to meet DH and new bunny-owner at DH's work.

Yay! Sounds like a good ending. Good on you.
