About Fat Fluffs
Fat Fluffs is a rabbit rescue and sanctuary based in Solihull in the West Midlands. We take in all sorts of rabbits and as far as possible we find them loving forever homes. For those with more challenging personalities or continuing health problems we provide sanctuary for them here and they stay as part of the family.
Welcome to our Fat Fluffs Website and thank you for visiting.
We would like to start by introducing ourselves. We are a team of 4 trustees and more importantly bunny mad friends who share a passion for seeing unwanted and neglected rabbits find love and the homes they deserve.
At present we have 19 permanent residents living with us (our fat fluffs) who live as a large outdoor group of 12, Max my indoor bun, Panda who resides with Lucy, Alfie and Faunus who are with Alison at the moment and of course Moses and Spring who come to all our events with us.
Fat Fluffs was awarded charity status in July 2008 and not only are we a core team of 4 but we also have an amazing team of people who support us by fostering, fundraising, helping us out on events and by coming to our base and helping us out with cleaning and cuddling. Our foster team at the moment consists of Alison who looks after our special needs buns, Sophie who is great with families, Claire W, Claire D, Claire S, Kirsty C, Kirsty H, Steve, Jackie, Abi, Vickie, Sue, Krysia, Stacey and Keith, Gill, Kerry, Lea and Dan all who provide much needed mid-way sanctuary and love for our bunnies while they wait for their forever homes. Some have been more successful at releasing their foster buns to new homes than others but we mention no names!!

Vikki is busy every quater putting our newsletters together and doing an amazing job with PR, a big "Thank You" to her and I am especially grateful that Jo-anne found us as her help with the buns and volunteer co-ordinating has really been a great blessing. Thank you also to Hayley, Sylvia, Vicky, and Matilda who give up their time to come and help clean, scrub, and cuddle; to Sarah, Ben, Jess, Ron, Julian, Toby and Ross for their help at events and whenever called upon - every minute is invaluable and greatly appreciated!
There are currently 33,000+ unwanted rabbits in rescues across the country and every rescue seems to have a never ending waiting list of bunnies to come in. We take in all the rabbits we can, as far as space allows, with the aim of ensuring they are physically and emotionally well, neutered, wormed, vaccinated and rehomed to loving forever homes. We have had a few bunnies come in that would rather eat you than their dinner and although some of these anti-social buns have been rehabilitated and found new homes those more scarred stay and are considered a permanent part of our family.
Currently we have four permanent / foster residents with us having sadly lost Apache, Santa and Daisy; Apache to a nasty abccess, Santa to heart problems and Daisy to old age and all that comes with it. Our four sponsor buns are all with us due to ongoing health problems; Buffy came in with very obvious dental issues and, when she went in for her spay two actually fell out while the vet was trying to file them down so she is going to be staying with us long term to keep an eye on them and her cataract which has developed in her left eye. Rudy was rehomed with his brother Eddie and when Eddie died his mum took him to the vet where they found a large growth in his abdomen. Rudy was returned to us to look after and he now lives as part of our Fat Fluff group and will receive the vet care and love that he deserves. Laurel lives with us and her husbun Hardy, she also came in with health problem that her owners just couldn;t afford any longer; we have managed to sort the abccess over her eye and are hopefulyl she wont lose it but she has ongoing teeth problems which will need to be monitored. Charlie Too is also came in with health problems and his severe pasturella is being kept under control with ongoing medication but we have yet to find a solution to his illness which is where his previous owner was struggling.
These are our four sponsor bunnies - if you would be interested in becoming a Sponsor Bun Supporter please email team@ fatfluffs.com and we will email all the details out to you.
