Southern Cape Bunny Haven is a registered NPO Animal Rescue, NPO 241-476 and located in the Garden Route of South Africa.

In October 2020 we rescued 48 rabbits from a very bad situation where they were bred esp for snakefood. These mommy bunnies we rescued were kept in filthy plastic crates to have babies, taken away at one day old, as snake food. Many of these females have not seen sun or grass before we rescued them.

Further more we had the 2 most stunning bunny mommies dumped, and they were rescued highly pregnant.

We had 7 mommies safely deliver their babies inside the Haven; and 8 mommies that have just lost their babies; while we rescued 18 adolescent bunnies and 4 daddies.

(This was only in October)

While the cruelty case is ongoing, and we cannot disclose too much info yet, the bunnies' lives does not stop; and we need to sterilize these babies ASAP so they can find loving homes. They have a second chance in life... but where we stay we may never let them leave unsterilized.

Please help us to sterilize them all. All adult males and adolecent males as well as some females were allready sterilized within the first 2 weeks of entering, a total of 11 sterilized allready.

Needing to be sterilized asap

19 adult females

25 adolescent boys

Are NOW ready for steri.

A female costs us R900 and male costs R600 per bunny. Many of rhe older ladies have dental issues that is currently being treated, while many of the younger bunnies have inbreeding issues.

We really need your help to care for them.

A next campaign will be held for the 11 girl babies who are not yet old enough for steri.

Spay and Neuter campaign for already rescued "Snakefood" bunnies

Update posted by Monique Bosch Goosen On Feb 07, 2021

These baby bunnies and their moms were rescued from horrible conditions, sitting in Plastic crates to breed and be fed alive to snakes. We rescued them... now we need your help to please spay and neuter them all so they can go to forever homes!

We cannot let a single one go out unsterilized, from fear that somewhere they may breed again and a baby may be used again as food.

While we do understand snakes need to eat to; it is against the law tonfeed live babies; and our problem was the horrible conditions the mommies were kept in - inside plastic crates sitting on piles of poo, with just a few holes in the top for ventilation and light.

Most of these mommies have not seen sun for a long time and some screamed from the brightness. They were all in such awe about running on grass and able tonlie sleeping stretched out.

Please help us sterilize them and make sure that neither they or offsprings can ever be used for breeding again. South Africa is a real.challenge when it comes to bunnies.

We are asked R650 per male and R900 per female.

Please... please help us make their lives worthwile and halp us to make sure their rescue was not in vain.
