We’re all on edge, with reports of RHD on Vancouver Island last month. While we don’t have a confirmed case, we need to plan for the worst, which means extra diligence along with our regular yearly vaccinations.
The problem? Ceva recently discontinued distributing Filivac's 50-dose vials, which helped us vaccinate our hundreds of sanctuary rabbits at a reasonable price point. That number has now jumped to nearly $25,000 every year, until we find an alternative.
Vaccination is not optional for us. If RHD reached our sanctuary, it would be catastrophic. House bunnies aren’t safe - it can spread through hands, clothing, and footwear. Once infected, it’s a sure death sentence.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re fundraising for life-saving medical care, including necessary vaccines for all of our rabbits. All donations up to $5,000 until the end of Giving Tuesday will be matched, so your donation goes twice as far! If you have anything to spare, please consider supporting our efforts. And if not, a share can make a huge difference. 💕

🩵Giving Tuesday Starts Early
We’ve faced $16,000 in emergency vet bills in the last month alone, and more vulnerable bunnies keep arriving.
Tiny orphan Pink is fighting for her life, Riley is slowly recovering after being run over, and ten young lops were dumped, emaciated in Everett Crowley Park. Eight are in our care, thin and haunted.
At the same time, vaccination costs have skyrocketed since Filavec discontinued their 50-dose vials. We need nearly $25,000 to protect every one of our rabbits from Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHD). It’s fast-spreading and deadly, with vaccination being the only real protection.
Every donation now through the end of Giving Tuesday will be matched up to $5,000 (and growing!), doubling your impact.
