Rabbit Rescue, Control & Management

Well we'd love to show you photos from the big spay/neuter clinic we had planned at the BC SPCA Hospital today, but... we can only show you volunteers in our shelter's vet room prepping for tomorrow instead. Why? First the Rabbitats van just up and dies in the middle of the road. 🚚 (Luckily no bunnies were on board). 🐰 Then our clinic coordinator wakes up sick as a dog. 🤧 (Do dogs even get the flu?) Then after navigating a bunch of closed roads and non-working traffic lights to get to the SPCA Hospital very early this morning, we arrived to find there was no power! ⚡️😮 BC Hydro in its infinite wisdom decided to shut down power for whole city blocks with zero notification! Good thing it didn't go out in the middle of the surgeries! So a big thanks to all the vets and other volunteers (we had 20-something!) for giving it a go today and remaining in good humour. <3 The power is now back on 🔌and we'll be trying again tomorrow, which means trying to do all 26 rabbits in one day. Wish us luck! 🍀 (BC Hydro should give us a HUGE donation to make up for this one!) 🤑 ... See MoreSee Less

Little Riley continues to show us how tough he is. His new radiographs show anomalies in his jaw from the fracture, and actually with his teeth as well which could be an issue, but our little accident victim is still managing to eat. He has gained weight and has proudly graduated from Critical Care to soaked pellets to crunching away on his own. The vets are recommending more detailed scanning, but we just don’t have the budget for that. He’s on the schedule to be neutered at our clinic at the end of the month, so his health will be reassessed again before any surgery. We’re taking things one step at a time with our resilient little guy. Donations appreciated for his ongoing care 🤍

Saying goodbye to our beloved longtime sanctuary bunny, Easter 🤍

Easter came to us in 2017 as part of the abandoned Moffat Road trio, alongside her companions Uno and Blanche. Over the years, we’ve had to say goodbye to both of them, and now Easter has followed, leaving a quiet space behind that feels very big today.

She was at least 10 years old, and spent nine of those years in our care. As she aged, Easter became increasingly delicate, navigating multiple health challenges. Last Thursday, she let us know it was time to rest.

We hope that the life we gave her made up for what she lost before she found us. 🌈🐇 Rest easy, sweet girl. ... See MoreSee Less
