Our hearts go out to our comrades at RAPS. And so does our gratitude for taking this horrendous but ultimately very necessary step. No one can and should underestimate this horrible virus. Rabbitats has been trying to take steps to help limit the exposure to all rabbits in Richmond and came to the realization that the RAPS shelter was one of the most problematic destinations. It’s a very old building, it’s very busy, they take in all kinds of animals and they had more rabbits than would fit in a secure room. And the ferals liked to visit. They really did do their best but quarantine was pretty much impossible. Taking this tragic but brave step really was the right thing to do. Any surviving rabbits would have been carriers. We sincerely hope Rabbitats is never put in this same situation. The message that needs to get out there now is, again, to STAY AWAY FROM THE FERAL RABBITS. And vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate.

ADOPTABLE BUN ALERT - This little man is looking for love. 💕
Meet Little Man, a teeny tiny harlequin who looks like he got shrunk in the wash. 😶 He is four-years-old, and a bit of an odd duck. 🐥Which we greatly appreciate. Not a huge fan of humans but he wants a bunny friend!
He was rescued as a juvenile from the Richmond Auto Mall back in 2020. When he came in, he was wobbly with severe ear mites. But after some TLC, he has become perfectly spritely, with some remaining challenges.
Little Man has been bounced around foster homes for the past couple of years, from unsuccessful bonding attempts to temporary placements. It's long past due for this wee cutie to find his forever happy place - hopefully with a bun-wife to call his own!
If you're interested in meeting Little Man, please fill out an adoption questionnaire at rabbitats.org/adopt + feel free to reach out directly with any questions.

This article is going to be updated soon with all our new info, so we thought we'd put it up here as a refresher before that happens. :)
Is your bunny vaccinated?
Bunnies need a yearly RHD vaccine, protecting them from obtaining and spreading this deadly disease. The Bunny Cafe is hosting our clinic this coming Sunday, November 24 from 6:30-8:30.
Please note that this clinic is by appointment only. For an appointment, please fill out a form at rabbitats.org/vaccine
Help protect your buns (and the buns in your community!).
