Foster a Rabbit

Fostering a rabbit for Blue's Bunny Kingdom means giving one rabbit a cage-free home for weeks or months until it is adopted. We supply hay, equipment and veterinary care. You supply the space, the routine and the patience. We expect most placements to run sixty to ninety days.

Fostering with us

Why fostering matters more than anything else right now

We do not have land yet. Our foster network is how rabbits will be helped in the meantime, and it is how we learn to do this well before we do it at scale.

What we provide, once a rabbit is placed with you

Hay and pellets. A pen, litter box, hides and a dig box if you need them. All veterinary care, arranged and paid by us. A named person you can reach. Training before your first rabbit arrives.

What you provide

A room or a secured, rabbit-proofed area indoors. Roughly an hour a day. A household that can keep one rabbit separate from resident animals. Willingness to keep a rabbit through a bonding or medical setback rather than handing it back at the first difficulty.

Cage-free applies to you too

A foster rabbit lives in a pen it can leave, with floor time every day, on flooring it can grip. No hutch. No wire floor. No outdoor housing while RHDV2 is present in the local wild rabbit population.

I understand that animals may behave unpredictably regardless of temperament or prior handling. I knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks, whether known or unknown. **3. Release.** I release, waive, and discharge the Organization, its directors, officers, employees, agents, volunteers, and fosters from all claims, demands, damages, costs, and causes of action arising from my participation, including those arising from the ordinary negligence of the released parties. This release does not extend to gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, or any liability that may not lawfully be released. **4. Waiver of Civil Code Section 1542.** I waive the protections of California Civil Code section 1542, which provides: > A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party. **5.

Media.** I grant the Organization a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use photographs, video, and audio recordings in which I appear, made in the course of my participation, for the Organization's charitable, educational, and fundraising purposes. I waive any right to inspect or approve such use and any right to compensation. I may withdraw this grant as to future use by written notice to Sarah@bluesbunny.org. **9. Confidentiality.** I will keep confidential all non-public information I learn in the course of my participation, including donor information, adopter and applicant information, medical records, and the personal information of other volunteers and fosters. **10.
