Our Bunny Cafe partnerships saw 31 adoptions and we transferred 33 rabbits to two new micro-sanctuaries and four to another rescue. Over the course of the year our shelter numbers were adjusted back to our rough capacity of 350. We ended the year with 54 adoptables 213 sanctuary ferals 39 special needs and 31 rabbits under medical care. We staged spay/neuter clinics in April and October with a total of 53 rabbits sterilized and staged multiple public vaccine clinics and private vet visits vaccinating 1164 against Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease. We also staged multiple rabbit education events including many that allowed people to ‘meet and treat’ rabbits while learning about their behaviour and care.
