Felicia

Felicia was the founder’s first rescued animal! Back in 2016, again when the sanctuary was only a crazy dream with no intention to rescue a rabbit at that time, that all changed one day when she went into a pet food store and saw a little black beautiful bunny in a glass cage. She learned that she had been there for almost a year and no one would buy her as she was quite timid and also black rabbits (like black cats) are not a very popular ‘pets.’ After a couple of weeks of worrying and also checking in on her, the owner agreed to surrender her. After she settled into her new home and was spayed, the founder adopted a little brother for her named Gus and although they quickly bonded, she is still an independent girl and likes to have her alone time. Felicia has also remained a more timid rabbit but she has a certain strength and grace about her especially with her elegant Lionhead mane, and she has taken her place as the regal matriarch of our rabbit family.

SPONSOR FELICIA

Gus

Gus is a Lionhead rabbit who was adopted from the SPCA as a partner for Felicia in 2016. Little is known about his past before being surrendered to the SPCA other than he was about 6 months old. Gus has always been quite the little character, with his spunky, mischievous, feisty, and affable nature. From city life to sanctuary life, Gus loves his outdoor habitat and he can often be found digging holes, chewing his way through boxes, or instigating scuffles with Basil and Benjamin.

SPONSOR GUS

Frances

Frances was abandoned at a fairground and she lived there for a few weeks until the owner of the sanctuary was able to gain her trust and finally catch her, just before the cold weather set in. Unfortunately, many unwanted rabbits end up this way as their owners decide to “set them free” in the outdoors, not knowing that they will most likely die from illness or injury within a short time, and may also contribute to feral rabbit colonies. However, Frances was saved from this fate and after settling into her new home and getting spayed, efforts to bond her with Gus and Felicia did not go well. So that meant finding a partner for her and that led to adopting another rescued rabbit from the SPCA – Alfred Wigglebottom. Alfred and Frances quickly bonded and always stayed close together ever since. Being a English Spot rabbit, Frances has very unique markings and quite the beautiful little bun. She also always been a strong and sweet-tempered little girl and her caring side really came out as she seemed to take extra care of Alfred as his health declined from kidney disease over 2020-2021.

Gidianna

Gidianna is an English Spot-Lionhead rabbit who was surrendered to our sanctuary August of last year. It was during that time when we began looking for a partner for Frances after our beloved Alfred passed away that same month. She was among the countless number of rabbits advertised “to be rehomed” after their owners get bored of them or are unable to take care of them. When we accepted her, we were initially told she was a boy, and named him Gideon. However, a vet check found out ‘he’ was actually a ‘she,’ so we came up with the name Gidianna. She is a spunky and sweet little rabbit who quickly bonded with Frances! They love to spend their days munching on hay and daily greens, relaxing and napping, and racing around (especially morning and evening, as crespuculars!)

Eva

Eva, along with another rabbit, Bonnie, were rescued by the farm sanctuary where Olaf, Daisy, and Maxwell came from, and we gladly offered to take them in. This sweet little Rex rabbit quickly settled into her new home at the sanctuary in 2019 and she also quickly gained the reputation of also being a single-minded escape artist with her feisty, energetic, and determined attitude as she would spend hours every day digging impressive holes in her outdoor area and we would spend hours fixing them. She also seems to prefer the single life as it has been impossible to bond her with another rabbit and seems quite content being on her own and having her own space but occasionally we do catch her snuggling up to Bonnie who lives beside her. Rabbit bonding is rather complicated and we respect their choice about who, and whether our rabbits want to live with another bun or if they want to live alone.

Rabbit Colony

In 2022, we welcomed a rabbit colony (12 bunnies!) from Rabbitats in Richmond/Surrey, BC, who rescues abandoned and feral domestic rabbits, and then either places them in one of their sanctuaries or adopts them out to forever homes. This colony was from a group of unadoptable rabbits that were at their partner organization, The Vancouver Bunny Cafe , which is hard to believe given how cute they are!! However, we are so glad to be able to give Sid, Buffy, Eirwin, Beyonce “Bucky” Barnes, Blaise (formerly Basil), Emily, Snoopy, Vincent, Stirling, Flower, Beatty, and Avery a safe permanent haven at our sanctuary.

SPONSOR THE RABBIT COLONY

Benjamin

Benjamin is the smallest of our rabbit family but he has a packed personality full of beans! He was surrendered to the sanctuary in 2020 when he was only a couple of months and we hoped that he would be a potential partner for Eva. However, Eva made it very clear she preferred the single life despite Benjamin’s exuberant personality and adorable good looks! He hasn’t outgrown his high-spirited, playful, and mischievous ways and these days, he and Basil (his partner in crime) can often be found happily doing zoomies and blinkies around their habitat. Visitors are always amazed when they see their elaborately dug tunnel system.

SPONSOR BENJAMIN

Basil

In 2020, Basil was found advertised as a “meat or pet rabbit” when he was only a few months old. He was likely bred to be large and also be good-looking as he is an Angora-Giant Flemish cross. Countless rabbits are bred for these purposes and often end up being advertised as “for sale” or “for free” and from there, many will remain vulnerable to neglect, abuse, abandonment, or slaughter. Fortunately, the owner agreed to surrender Basil to the sanctuary, where he will be spared such a tragic fate and he will get to live out his life in a large indoor/outdoor rabbitat with his bonded partner Benjamin. Basil’s handsome good looks are complemented by his good-natured and easy-going temperament but he also can be frequently found getting into mischief with his little buddy.
