Fostering is generously opening your home to a domestic rabbit in need until they can get adopted into their forever home.

Oftentimes, the rabbits we rescue are formerly abused and neglected with nowhere to go and could use the extra love. You can tell they’re appreciative to have a second chance at life!

Fostering should cost you next to nothing! Everybunny Counts will provide all initial supplies with the exception of produce and rugs. We can send you additional supplies and/or reimburse you via Venmo or PayPal for hay, food, toys, and litter refills.

Nope! We can teach you about bunnies along the way, however we ask that you research rabbit care prior to completing the foster application.

Those who are medically confident can apply to be a medical foster. Medical fosters are required to administer medicine, including administration of oral and subcutaneous medications, as well as wound cleaning and extended grooming needs.

Unfortunately no, we cannot accept fosters that reside outside Connecticut at this moment.

It depends on the health of the bunny and the adopters’ interest. Generally, fosters may stay for a few months to a year.

If you need vacation coverage or can’t continue fostering, we will always find someone else to take the bun for you.

Everybunny Counts pays for all medical expenses using our donations. We typically schedule our medical appointments at Star Meadow Animal Clinic in Farmington, CT. We ask that fosters bring their rabbits to appointments when possible. We typically schedule at least two visits – one for intake and one for spay/neuter. If you absolutely cannot transport your foster bunny to/from the vet, we can arrange a volunteer to do so.

Please contact us immediately. We will provide help and guidance.

Ideally, we would like to see enough space for the foster rabbit to play and run. We will be providing you with a 4×5 ft playpen and ask that you bunny-proof the room (especially wires and cords) prior to your foster bunny’s arrival.

We will check in via text or phone call every now and then. Feel free to send updates and/or photos periodically through email, facebook, or instagram. We may feature your bunny on our social media and will definitely use these photos for their petfinder profile.

That’s okay! However, we do ask that you disclose each family member (child and/or animal) in your home within our foster form.

We endearingly call that a foster failure! Luckily, if you fall in love with your foster, you will get first dibs on adopting your bun 🙂

We prioritize a good experience for our bunnies and foster families. If you dislike your foster experience, please notify us immediately and we will make rearrangements.
