Rabbit Rescue took on a gargantuan task of taking in, caring for and providing much needed medical attention to more than 100 rabbits from a hoarding situation on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario. While the call originally went out to the Sudbury OSPCA, it was in fact Rabbit Rescue who has taken on all the responsibility for dealing with these bunnies, all of which need medical help.
Please DONATE anything you can - medical expenses are expected to top more than $30,000 and the OSPCA has left this wonderful rabbit rescue organization holding the bag.
As per the website:
Of the 103 rabbits we took in last weeks, most are requiring immediate medical attention. All need to be spayed/neutered. Many rabbits have URIs, and urine scald, but many others have much more serious problems requiring extensive medical care. These include: an enucleation (eye removal), GI stasis, dental disease, incisor extraction, molar filings, dental abscesses, mastectomy for abscessed mammary gland. Please help us help the bunnies by making a tax deductible donation today!The organization is also desperately seeking fosters; cages and other needs will be supplied. Please contact haviva@rabbitrescue.ca if you can help foster a bunny (or call 905-875-4343).
Housing is also needed - large dog cages, cubes and other housing would be gratefully received.

Rabbits are wonderfully amusing, curious little animals who make loving companions for many years. Rabbit Rescue faces a HUGE and daunting task to care for these innocent little bunnies - if you can help, every dollar COUNTS!!
