UPDATE Feb 13, 2023

We’d love to give you a definitive answer on a new property, but typical in the world of real estate, it’s still up in the air.  Complicating things in a good way, we’re seeing other more affordable property listings every day, including some that will work even better for Rabbitats.   The Kindred Community Farm Sanctuary needs to move from its current location very soon, so they have made an offer on a smaller property that will meet their timeline and budget.  If it goes through, they will be moving with our bunnies currently under their roof and be positioned as another micro-sanctuary in our network, but we will be continuing to pay rent as opposed to purchasing shares as this property can’t accommodate expansion.   The initial Langley property is still on the market (with a lower price!), the cohousing reps are continuing to work on it with other partners, but we’ll be exploring many other opportunities as well as we continue to fundraise and look for additional partners, investors and grants.  

A place to call your own can be the ultimate comfort...

This holiday season, Rabbitats and our colonies are hoping for a place to be OUR fur-ever home!

Our existing locations are all rented properties slated for development.

Until now, Rabbitats has rescued and rehabilitated hundreds (if not thousands!) of injured and abandoned rabbits across the Lower Mainland.  We have been closed for intake of new rabbits in need recently due to a heartbreaking lack of space and stability. 

 Now we have an amazing opportunity for a permanent space!

If we can raise the funds, we will be part of the Kindred Village, partnering with the Kindred Community Farm people and other like-minded folks on a 10-acre property under a co-housing umbrella.  The project can be positioned to be self-sustaining through ecotourism projects (who wouldn't want to vacation at a farm sanctuary with a 'rabbit village'!?), growing our bunnies' food, and so much more that will do wonders for our cause.

We need $185,000 to buy into this project by January 31, 2023!

We understand this is a high order. If this works out, though, our monthly overhead will be very doable without further assistance. 

It won't be easy, and we (and the bunnies!) are counting on our ENTIRE community to help us try to make this happen this Giving Season!

Are you in? Awesome!

Here's what you need to do:

Also available - Sponsor a LARGE enclosure - $10,000

Your generosity will provide a space for up to FOUR DOZEN rabbits! And trust us, there are bunnies to fill it!

For this perk, and any contribution over $5000, please contact us directly

at financial@rabbitats.org

In return, we'll post updates to this campaign with LOTS of awesome information about our buns, the plight of abandoned rabbits, care tips and more!

We and our buns thank you!

If this property doesn’t work out, we will be exploring other co-housing projects, so the investment will be going towards new housing for the rabbits whether we reach our goal or not.
