Our BC Hydro work party crew was small but mighty! They jumped right in to a much needed deep clean of the trailer cage room and managed to get some of the colonies done as well. ❤ Beyond their squeaky clean digs, the caged bunnies got to enjoy their time outside in day pens, soaking up the sunshine and munching on fresh grass.
No photos of the awesome food that volunteer chef Simon put together for everybody (oops) but it made for a perfect day!
Thanks to all!
New colony alert! We pulled together a group of 25* young adults, moved them into their brand new home, and walked you through the basics of our colony process.
We prioritize safe, outdoor enclosures for the majority of our residents. They promote social living, natural behaviours like digging and foraging, and give the bunnies a whole lot more space than an indoor cage or pen can provide.
These bunnies are all feral rescues, or babies born from those rescues. They prefer outdoor living to the house bunny lifestyle, and we aim to accommodate.
Beyond the buns’ preferences, we’re able to rescue and house larger populations of at-risk bunnies using this colony model.
The buns are settling in, and we’re preparing to do our mass health check and pull any bunnies that aren’t thriving in this group. We’re also observing closely, watching for any trouble makers that are disrupting the peace (I’m looking at you, Brad).
If all goes well, we’ll have a cohesive colony very soon. 🤍 Will update as we go.
Looking for a volunteer foster coordinator (or two) to join our adoption team!
We've been blessed with stellar foster coordinators in the past, but the role is too large for one person - the bunnies need your help. 🐰
Foster coordinator tasks include:
- Responding to foster applications
- Screening potential foster homes via phone call or in-person interviews
- Close communication with our adoption team
- Scheduling foster pickups, drop-offs, and bunny meet and greets
- Supporting bunny fosters by answering their questions and directing them to management for veterinary assistance.
This role can be remote, though the ability to drive to our Richmond shelter is a huge benefit! Interested? Please email adopt@rabbitats.org - subject line "Foster Coordinator."
Thanks a million!

Thanks for your support!
We couldn't do it without our dedicated sponsors + donors.
