Who's behind the rescue?
Hello! I'm Paige, the Owner and Founder of Clement Rabbit Rescue. Since the rescue was founded in 2019 it has always been solely ran by me. I have rescued, rehabilitated and re homed upwards of 300 rabbits during this time.
About the rescue
Clement Rabbit Rescue provides a safe haven for neglected and abandoned rabbits with the main focus being rehabilitation. Education and spreading awareness in regards to the rabbit rescue crisis' and providing the correct care for them is incredibly important to me.
Why rabbits?
Let me tell you about Bertie, my first rescue rabbit and the reason Clement Rabbit Rescue exists.
In 2016 whilst working at a very well known pet shop, a metal crate of baby rabbits were delivered with the intention to sell. Half of his siblings were heartbreakingly already deceased and the others in critical condition. Later that day, all bar Bertie were later euthanised.
Bertie was emaciated, covered in his own urine and faeces. Without much knowledge of rabbits, I took him home to my uni accommodation in the hopes of rehabilitating him. My efforts, though stressful, were a success and Bertie became a permanent member of the family.
Something switched in my brain that day and my eyes were opened to the brutality of the breeding and selling trade and just how little care there is for rabbits and their lives.
I spent 7 wonderful years with my boy Bert before having to say goodbye to him in July of 2024 after he developed a brain tumour. Although he took part of my heart that day, he left behind a huge legacy. Clement Rabbit Rescue.
