If you live in the lower mainland, you can't escape the issue of abandoned, domestic rabbits.
From abandoned pets to their feral offspring, these bunnies are born without the survival instincts necessary to survive on their own.
It’s a tragedy; these bunnies will most likely be killed by predators, parasites, sport hunters, or trappers hired for ‘pest control’.
Rabbitats offers a humane solution, trapping and caring for these rabbits in low-maintenance "Rabbitats" or colonies, where they will be safe for the entirety of their lives.
The non-profit also works to sterilize and vaccinate buns, as well as find adoptive and foster families for abandoned house bunnies.
Ali and I are both extremely passionate about Rabbitats. We love and care for these bunnies beyond measure (they truly consume us lol), visiting the shelter as much as we can and dreaming up new ways we can help these buns.
This Giving Tuesday, please consider donating even a small amount towards this project. The lives of these rabbits are worth every effort.

Rabbitats is not only a rescue and rehabilitation centre for abandoned and feral domestic rabbits, we also educate and promote proper rabbit management alongside cities and municipalities.
2023 was a difficult year - many of our spaces had to be shut down and colonies of rabbits were left with no proper home. Plus, the domestic rabbit population in our neighbourhoods continue to explode. Just one example of many is the population on Granville Island that some wonderful bunny-lovers worked to save from euthanization.
There are some exciting things happening, though! A new space in Langley plus a big push for farm sanctuaries - hobby farms, acreages, etc. - to host colonies of their own will hopefully be the answer we've long been hoping for. But there's still SO much work to do. These funds will go toward the care of our rabbits plus the development of new spaces to host them.
