Support Our Microsanctuary. Make a Difference.
We are primarily self-funded and self-operated, but rely heavily on additional support to pay for food, supplies, and veterinary care for the rabbits in our care, as well as support new rabbits in need of shelter.
Below are several ways you can help support our microsanctuary and make a difference in the lives of small animals who deserve proper care, warmth, safety, and love.
1. Purchase important supplies from our local pet store or from one of our Amazon wish lists:
2. Help offset 2025 medical costs for some of our special needs animals.
Many of the animals in our care have special needs due to neglect, malnourishment, parasites, in-breeding, and/or trauma, which translate into exacerbated medical costs with specialized exotic vets.
