Rabbit Residence Rescue was founded by local resident, Caroline Collings over 20 years ago and became a registered charity in 2012. The rescue is run by two fully trained animal care assistants and a small but dedicated team of regular volunteers.
Rabbit Residence is proud to be a high welfare rabbit rescue which exceeds requirements of the Rabbit Welfare Association, RSPCA and PDSA and we have been nominated for several charity awards over the last few years. We house around 70 rabbits at any one time on our third of an acre site purchased by a kind supporter for the rescue to be run from.
Each year we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome over 150 unwanted or neglected pet rabbits, working alongside other rescues nation wide to help those rabbits most in need. All of our rabbits are fully vaccinated and neutered and we conduct home checks prior to rehoming. We are a non-euthanasia rescue and have sanctuary space for those rabbits who are not suitable to rehome due to ongoing health or behavioural issues.
Rabbit Residence has worked with the Royal Veterinary College on studies aiming to improve rabbit welfare and have been featured in local and national magazines and newspapers as well as being interviewed on local radio.
We are pleased to be able to offer work experience to students over 16 from local schools and colleges and also offer placement to veterinary students. Website: http://www.rabbitresidence.org.uk Email: rabbit_residence@hotmail.com
