Winter: The Hardest Time Of Year For Rescues
Emergency Winter Campaign
Help us raise a winter boost to our general rescue fund so we can respond fast to urgent cases.
Target: £2,500
Why Do We Need This Campaign?
Winter is one of the hardest times for rabbit rescue. More rabbits need help, illnesses are often more complex, and costs rise while donations and adoptions can slow. This campaign raises a winter boost to our general funds so we can keep responding fast and keep every rabbit safe, warm, fed, and treated.
Target: £2,500

Why Winter Hits Harder
In winter we often see more urgent surrenders, longer lengths of stay, and higher day to day running costs. Respiratory issues, gut stasis, dental flare ups, infections, and recovery needs can all increase pressure on vet spend. General funds are what let us act quickly when a rabbit cannot wait.

But is she neutered or not?
When a new rabbit arrives at the rescue, we rely heavily on the information their previous owner gives us. Sometimes people arrive prepared, with full vet history, vaccination certificates, feeding notes and familiar food to help the rabbit settle. Other times they simply try to hand the rabbit over and…
