My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

INDOOR ONLY HOMES PLEASE

Chenille was rescued on October 23, 2023. She is one of twenty rabbits rescued from a neighborhood in Murrieta where a resident released rabbits into the streets to fend for themselves. She survived by outsmarting speeding cars and hungry hawks!

Nothing warms the heart quite like a cuddly bunny and Chenille is about as huggable as they come! Petite and sweet, and oh so soft, she is a rabbit lover’s dream, always ready for a snuggle and a snack. Offer her some treats and some pets, and you’ll have a friend for life.

Chenille would make the perfect bun to welcome into your home. Always affectionate, ever entertaining, and beautiful to boot, Chenille is an ideal companion.

She was spayed on March 10, 2024.

Chenille should start out living in an exercise pen (x-pen) otherwise known as a puppy pen. She can have that as his home base or transition to a room or a section of a room or free roaming. A cage/hutch is not recommended unless the door is open and an x-pen can be placed around it.

Please be over 21 if inquiring about a rabbit.

Chenille can be seen by appointment in Lake Elsinore after a questionnaire is completed or a phone consultation conducted. On adoption day, plan to spend approximately one hour at the rescue going over paperwork and general rabbit care information. Delivery is available up to 100 miles from Lake Elsinore.

PLEASE consult with the rescue before you purchase rabbit supplies so you can be directed to the least expensive and most appropriate rabbit essentials, especially if you’ve never had the pleasure of owning a rabbit! Your local big chain pet store is probably NOT the best place to buy rabbit supplies!

If you are seeking a rabbit as a companion for your existing rabbit, your rabbit should be spayed/neutered. Male/female bondings are usually recommended. See the following link for more information: https://rabbit.org/care/bonding/

Come find your new furry friend in Lake Elsinore at our private shelter by appointment or in Orange County or Los Angeles County at one of our foster homes.

More about this rescue

Kribs for Kritters primary focus is rescuing domestic rabbits that have been abandoned at parks, schools, golf courses, fitness trails and any other outdoor location. Kribs for Kritters also assists Golden View Farm Rabbit Rescue in their heroic efforts.

All rabbits are spayed/neutered prior to adoption.

We are both a rescue and a shelter. We have over 100 rabbits in our care. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask. It is likely we have a bunny to suit your needs. New bunnies are being rescued every week. We don’t always have time/resources to post every bunny that crosses our path.

We have an exceptionally high success rate of bunny bonding on the very first date. So, if you’re looking for a mate for your existing bunny, give us a try.

Our operating costs are at least $1,000 per month so donations are always appreciated. Donations can be made to PayPal.me/kribsforkritters.
