What We Do

Since November 2005, The Urban Rabbit Refuge has been providing short- and long-term care for rabbits that are considered difficult to place due to illness, injury, and/or behavioural issues. The health of each rabbit is assessed at intake and appropriate medical care is provided. Where health permits, we spay/neuter. At present, we are caring for more than 60 rabbits. When space is available, we take in rabbits that are considered adoptable, spay/neuter, and find them loving forever homes.

Mission Statement

The Urban Rabbit Refuge provides care for abandoned, sick, and/or injured rabbits. In accordance with the highest standards in animal rescue and welfare, we do not breed rabbits. Our primary goals, as determined by our Board of Directors, are:

• to provide permanent shelter and medical care to homeless and rescued rabbits
• to provide temporary assistance to rabbits in need and to those assisting rabbits in need
• to educate our communities about responsible rabbit/animal care
