🌼Give us a break (your Spring Break!). 🌼 First work party Sunday, March 15th.
Late March and early April are the busiest time of the year in the rabbit world.
The rabbits who came to us through the cold months need to get out of their cages and into roomy outside colonies.
We need to prepare for the inevitable spring deluge of babies (like the little Burnaby guy caught on the 4th level of a parkade shorturl.at/cfqgY).
Spring means even more requests to surrender house rabbits, and more unwanted pregnancies.
And then there’s spring cleaning to get rid of the winter clutter and make our headquarters a pleasant place to work and visit.
We need volunteers to do it all! So, please sign up for our Spring Break Work Parties! We provide the tools, vegan lunches and bunny love. 🐰🫶
Tasks include:
💠Deep cleaning cages, floors, walls
💠Removing soiled hay from the enclosures
💠Refreshing the roadbase
💠Moving wood
💠Loading up garbage and recycling
💠Landscaping
Please email volunteer@rabbitats.org with “Work Parties”in the subject line, and let us know your availability and contact info. We will notify you re: work party dates. We’re currently plotting a work party for Sunday, March 15th to get the ball rolling. 🥳
Anyone else fooled by Fool’s Spring? Us too. The good news? We still have hoodies available to keep you warm!

100% of proceeds go to rescue bunnies in need - if you saw our last fundraiser, you’ve seen that we’re in a tough spot for medical bills. Our shop sales are a fun way to fundraise for life-saving veterinary care, while also sharing cute merch with our bunny community.
To everyone who is supporting through hay sales, merch, and beyond - big bunny kisses to you. 😙💋🐇
+ Big thanks to Rascal who so graciously posed for these photos to help the bunnies. His mother was rescued by Rabbitats while pregnant, and born in our care. He even offered some nose kisses (he’s too good for this world).
So, how exactly does a baby rabbit end up on the 4th level of a car parkade in Burnaby? They drive. 😎🚗 Or at least, they hitch a ride with an unsuspecting driver.
They’re not abandoned, they took refuge in the undercarriage of a vehicle, and the vehicle drove away with them in it.
These poor babies find themselves in parkades, parking lots, and on busy streets in immediate and constant danger, frightened by the loud noises and with no access to food and water.
These bunnies are top priority for rescue. This sweet feral baby will likely be staying with us for life, joined by a colony of similar bunnies once matured and spayed/neutered. Please support their ongoing care. 💕
