Calling all Langley and Aldergrove folks! Our satellite Rabbitats need your help. 🐰

We're looking for folks to volunteer for the buns, providing daily care, grooming, enrichment, and more. It's a great way to get in some much needed bunny therapy while helping the cause.

If you're interested in helping out, please fill out a form at rabbitats.org/volunteer
The buns thank you in advance!

PS - We could always use more help around the Richmond shelter as well. The more volunteers, the better we can care for buns in need. 💜

We vaccinated 55 bunnies with the dedicated support of Dr. Boo, his assistant Kaitlyn, volunteers Emma and Deanna, and coordinator Chelsea. Thank you all for everything you do.

Each bun also received a thorough exam from Dr. Boo before vaccination. 💕

DO YOU KNOW THIS BUNNY? This little guy was found in Dude Chilling Park late Sunday. The poor guy was being picked on by kids in the park, getting his legs pulled and being roughhoused. He’s obviously a very gentle house bunny… luckily a Good Samaritan saw it happening and made the kids stop, picking him up and giving him shelter.

We’ve named him “Dude.”

While it’s likely that he is a dumped pet, we are posting on the off chance that he is a missing pet. If that’s the case, please reach out so we can reunite you with him. 🩵

Donations appreciated for Dude’s ongoing care and neuter (+ our other buns in need!)

SICK BUNNY FUND - We've only had $10 in donations since August 19th! Please help!

Here are some Sick Bunny updates...

Little Hoskins, the abandoned baby lop with multiple broken bones, went in for his checkup. Do you see anything funny in his X-rays? 😅 The wee bun was caught red-handed (red-lipped?) pulling out his staples. Luckily, he's healing well. He is soooo ready to break free from cage rest - the first zoomy will be epic.

On to sad news... we said goodbye to Mini B yesterday, a colony bun who was pulled for a few concerning signs including weight loss. Our vet found a lump in her abdomen. 😔

We also lost Red, our watermelon bunny. He had so much life in him... he was a happy, energetic young bun, full of beans and mischief. But in the end, it wasn't enough. He was the last survivor of his obviously challenged litter, losing both of his sisters months ago. 🌈🌈🌈💔

Donations are desperately needed to help pay for these vet bills, as well as ongoing treatments for our shelter buns in need. We have a large population of aging and/or disabled buns that require dedicated (expensive) care.

Adoptable Bun Alert! Meet Ducky and his luscious mullet 😎🐰

Ducky is a 1-year-old lop lionhead cross, with the hairdo to prove it. He's part of a big Rabbitats family, related to some of our favorite alum-buns.

Though his look certainly makes a statement, Ducky is surprisingly reserved, taking a wee bit to warm up to new people. But let him come to you and soon enough, he'll be putty in your hands. 💕

Ducky would certainly be up for finding a friend, or remaining solo for a bit longer while he matures (he'll want a pal eventually!)

If you're interested in meeting Ducky, fill out a questionnaire at rabbitats.org/adopt

Our impromptu Olivia Rodrigo raffle was made possible by a series of incredibly generous people. And what began as an idea to raise money for our rabbits quickly became a story of unbelievable kindness.

It all started with the donation of two concert tickets from a volunteer (thank you Patricia!).

Once bidding ended, our lucky winners were Rabbitats supporters Tim and Jonathan. But the tickets weren't for themselves... they bought them for Deanna as a gift for all that she has done to make their home complete (as she has done for countless others! 🥹🐰💕).

And the kindness didn't stop there. They gave Deanna their blessing to pass it forward, gifting the tickets to a volunteer who is a single mom with a daughter who ADORES Olivia Rodrigo.

The entire process was tear-worthy. And no one is more deserving than Candy and her daughter Karma. 🩷 In Karma's words, the entire night was "EPIC!" This was a dream come true, getting to see her favorite artist for her first ever concert.

We also ended up raising $800 for our shelter buns in need. 🐰Thank you to everyone who made it happen - it was epic, indeed.

ADOPTABLE DUO ALERT! Meet Littlefoot and Dawn Queen (aka DQ)—two adorable lop mix bunnies with big personalities and even bigger hearts. This dynamic duo is always on the lookout for their next treat and will quickly win you over with their playful charm.

Littlefoot is the quieter of the two, and he may need a little extra time and patience to fully come out of his shell. But once he feels safe and secure, his gentle and loving nature shines through. He just needs a loving home that will give him the time and space to build trust and confidence. DQ, on the other hand, is the social butterfly. She is always eager for attention and quick to warm up to anyone offering a treat.

These two are a loving pair and would thrive in a calm home where they can continue to grow and share their love. If you’re looking for a pair of bunnies with a lot of heart, Littlefoot and DQ could be the perfect addition to your family!

If you'd like to meet them, fill out a questionnaire at rabbitats.org/adopt

Our hearts. 🥹🩷

Check out this amazing gesture... these longtime bun-lovers held a cookie and lemonade stand, donating all the proceeds to Rabbitats. With a wee top up from their parents, they raised $100 in total!

A huge thank you to them and their families for supporting bunnies in need. Your continued support is beyond appreciated.

We're on a vaccine-clinic roll! Thank you to Dr. Veronica for helping keep our shelter buns safe this month by vaccinating them against RHD (and to Chelsea for organizing!).

Another big thanks to Apex Animal Hospital for hosting our recent vaccine clinic and protecting our greater bun-community (and Cara Jo for organizing!).

Our next vax clinic is on August 28 at The Bunny Cafe. You can register your rabbits for their yearly vaccine at rabbitats.org/vaccine

SICK BUNNY FUND MATCHING FUNDS OFFER! - Funds will be matched until 6pm PST August 15!

Rescue vet bills are always high, but with our aging buns in our (more or less) permanent care, these bills have become astronomical. And while we’ve been generally closed for intake, we have taken in some buns in poor health like Sloan and Baby. The bills keep stacking up!

This post isn’t a happy one, though we do have some good outcomes. Largely, it’s about saying goodbye. In the past few weeks, we’ve had to say goodbye to some really sick buns, all of which have weighed heavy on our hearts.

You’ll likely remember Baby, who was rescued from abhorrent conditions by a good Samaritan. He lived his final months safe and loved with his foster mom. Unfortunately, he took a sudden turn for the worse and developed debilitating injuries, related to his brain damage and prior neglect. We made the heart-wrenching decision to say goodbye… he spent his last day feasting on greens, strawberry tops, and treats. We held him until the end.

We also lost Pegsie. Our incredible volunteers truly did everything they could to keep her well. She was just too sick, and passed in the night. Their love for her will not be forgotten.

Just a few days ago, we lost sweet Stoney. He went through a lot in his final days, with a severe eye infection, x-rays, and filed molar spurs… but he was doing well. Then, he took a quick turn for the worse, and it was too much for his old body. Those who love him describe him as a curious, outgoing bunny who had a fixation on rubber bands.. A special soul who we will miss dearly.

And then there is our tilted, wobbly Reggie, who got to spend his last days enjoying some time on the grass at our sanctuary. These are not our only losses. Our hearts are worn, but we keep on for all of the buns in our care.

A bit of hope - Our gorgeous Rosie is almost back to her pre-illness weight. She’s getting re-checked soon.

Donations are appreciated to help care for our aging bunny population. Please consider donating in honour of those passed.

Our renos are in high gear at the Richmond, BC, headquarters and our handy guy Russ could use some help!

He's done a make-over of the 'nursery', but we still need bunny boxes built and painted. He's also currently working on our apple tree colony (the bunnies were digging to China under the tree!), the wire has been repaired, every bit of old hay taken out and the roadbase refreshed.

Volunteers are needed to help spread the base and paint. There's always lots of other tasks like pulling weeds to help prep our new compost area.

Afternoons and early evenings work best, and Russ can pick up helpers from various points if they don't have vehicles. Please email [email protected] with 'handywork' in the title, thank you! The bunnies will love you. (And it's great therapy). 😃💞🐰

Rabbitats needs a volunteer Illustrator for a small project!

We're been building a lot of enclosures that work really well, but we haven't had the resources to make a 'pretty' demonstration model, so we're looking for a volunteer illustrator to help us with that! This is the previous illustration a volunteer so kindly made for us. ❤ We're looking for a smaller 10x10' enclosure, we have all the specifications. Who can help?
