Sponsor the Eastern Cottontail Rabbits of 2011 through the Wildlife Center of Virginia’s special Caring for Bunnies program! 

Each year, the Wildlife Center admits several hundred Eastern Cottontails.  The majority of these delicate patients are young rabbits and typically need care for three to four weeks.   They are our most numerous mammal species admitted.

What better way to say “Happy Easter”, ”Happy Spring”, or “Happy Year of the Rabbit“ than with a special Caring for Bunnies sponsorship of these Wildlife Center patients?

• A photo of a rabbit patient;
• A personalized certificate of sponsorship; and
• Periodic email updates about some of our  2011 rabbit patients.

This standard sponsorship package is available for $25 [six months]/$50 [one year].
