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: £3,000
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: £3,000
A small boost to our regular funding
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.

Rehoming Welfare Checks Improve Rabbit Welfare
At Beloved Rabbits, we’re incredibly proud to help rabbits find loving new homes, but like many rescues, we’re currently facing an overwhelming demand for our rehoming services.
