It’s clear to many that we are a rescue and rehoming centre, we endeavour to rehabilitate and rehome all healthy rabbits that come into our care and there is nothing more joyous to us, than seeing foster bunnies binky off to their forever homes once we have vaccinated and neutered them and provided any medical care needed ♥️
A massively important part of our foundations is the Shrewsbury Rabbit Rescue sanctuary. The sanctuary is where we permanently house rabbits with us, that simply cannot be rehomed. These rabbits are sadly often medically complex and vulnerable, meaning they cost the charity a fortune in medical fees. We run a very successful sponsorship programme, which covers everyday needs such as bedding, feeding, litter and enrichment and the rest is put directly towards their vet costs. We wish this could be enough to cover our monthly outgoings, but are so grateful to have this baseline monthly figure because it helps tremendously.
Since opening in 2022, we have given sanctuary to 51 rabbits that desperately needed extra care and a place to call home. We have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds providing the very best for those most in need and over £10,000 in buildings and housing for them. The costs of caring for sanctuary rabbits are so incredibly high that, earlier this year, we had to make the decision to stop taking any further complex bunnies into our care permanently, which deeply saddened us to have to do but with little funding, we have no choice.
For the past couple months, we’ve faced extreme financial hardship. A lot of our complex
Bunnies had become very unwell, we have been through a lot of loss and devastation and are still trying to dig our way out financially. We have very little rabbits left to rehome, our foster homes are sat empty and we are forever saying No to rabbits desperately seeking help. It’s a very raw and painful time for us, and a massive contributing factor as to why Ashton has had to step away and take a break.
We’re sorry, here comes the part where we ask for help (yet again 😓).
Between Facebook and instagram, we have over 27,500 followers. Now imagine if all 27,500 of you sent us £1 each. This would pay off our £7,282.70 vet bill. This would replenish our reserves. This would mean we could reopen, fill our foster homes with rabbits in desperate need, we could even consider buying a transportation van which is something we’ve needed for a long time! We could start rolling out our outdoor housing foster scheme. If 27,500 donated, we could do so much more, we could give so much more. In reality, we need 7,500 of you to donate £1 each which will mean we can pay our bill and reopen at limited capacity, that would be incredible and all we could ask for right now ❤️🩹
