I contacted Sorelle to see if they wanted to try doing the pop-up a bit sooner, and we ended up hosting the Rabbitats bunnies at Catfe for about three weeks. I had opened Catfe-Western Canada's first cat cafe-in the International Village mall in Chinatown almost three years previously, and I remember returning to the cafe that evening and remarking how short all the cats' ears seemed! Already at this time I was thinking, imagine opening a bunny cafe too, how cool would that be! I'd introduced myself to Sorelle, the president of Rabbitats, that evening, and suggested that maybe we could try arranging some kind of bunny pop-up event at Catfe for Easter.Īs fate would have it, about a month later, the rescue we were partnered with at the time was suddenly unable to provide us with any cats. It just felt like a magical experience being surrounded by bunnies. They were so gentle and sweet (and yet some of them were adorably insistent about snagging the lettuce treats that visitors were feeding them).
Bunni how we first met guide full#
I had never spent much time around rabbits previously, and when I walked in and saw a room full of bunnies gently hopping about and climbing all over peoples' laps, I just felt so delighted. On a whim, I drove out to UBC one night when I saw that Rabbitats Rescue was hosting a "meet 'n treat" pop-up at the school. When did you first come up with the idea to open the Bunny Cafe? Reservations are recommended, and be sure to read the safety protocols before you visit. It is located at 1696 Venables Street on the southwest corner of Commercial Drive.
The Georgia Straight recently took a trip to the new Bunny Cafe in East Vancouver and spoke to owner Michelle Furbacher.
