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
We would like to start by introducing ourselves. We are a team of 6 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 24 permanent residents living with us (our fat fluffs) who live as a large outdoor group of 13, Max and Daisy my indoor buns, Panda who resides with Lucy and Buffy, and Magnus who are with foster mum Michelle and Alfie and Faunus who are with Alison at the moment. And of course Moses, Spring, Simeaon and Autumn 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 6 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 Abi and Vickie, Michelle and Alison who look after our special needs buns, Sophie who is great with families, Sarah, Kerry, Lea and Dan all who provide much needed mid-way sanctuary and love for our bunnies while they wait for their forever homes.

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 and Anne 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 six permanent residents with us having sadly lost Apache and Santa. Apache to a nasty abcess and Santa to heart problems. Panda is our special little boy; he is a biter and gets very upset when confined to a hutch. We felt it would be difficult to rehome him and, whilst fostering him, Lucy developed a soft spot for him and offered him a place with her and her house buns if he would fit in. It was a long slow bond but he is now officially a permanent Fat Fluff and has settled in well. Daisy has continuing health problems and she is now living with Max at mine and also has her permanent status! The two get on very well but do occassionally have their squabbles .... typical husbun and wife really! Fanta came to us with his front lower incisors literally up his nostrils and having had them removed is, at the moment, faced with having fortnightly trips to the vets to try and right his back teeth and the infection caused by them as well. Buffy also came in with very obvious teeth problems, 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 too. Duddie suffered a fit of some sort and whilst the vet battled for two days to save him we now think he has some brain damage so he will be staying with us long term as well. Mistletoe, now named Alfie came in with very few teeth and the remaining ones continue to give him grief and he is dealing with a mouth abcess at the moment; Magnus is again a toothy bun with the associated eye problems. He also "walked" everywhere when he first came in but it is great to see him starting to behave more like a bun and get some spring in his step.
Please have a look round our website and if you have any questions or comments please feel free to get in touch - we'd love to hear from you.
