Thank you for your interest in Orlando Rabbit Care and Adoptions (ORCA)
We are a group of adult bunny lovers in Central Florida who are dedicated to the health, care, and enjoyment of house rabbits. We promote and support housing bunnies indoors as family members and within an air-conditioned/heated area of the home.
The vast majority of our members are bunny parents who simply wish to share their enjoyment of bunnies with others who understand bunny love. Many of our members have enjoyed the companionship of bunnies for years; some are new bunny parents; and several members of the group are active with fostering and adoptions. Membership in ORCA does not require any commitments of time or funds beyond the annual membership fee of $20.00 unless you wish to become involved in our education, foster or adoption programs.
Benefits of Membership include quarterly gatherings where we meet to discuss ORCA business, shop in our *everything-bunny* Hop Shop, discuss bunny care, and enjoy the company of our foster bunnies. Our meetings are educational in nature and usually include a rabbit-savvy veterinarian or rabbit educator.
ORCA advocates indoor bunnies who are fed a good diet of quality timothy-based pellets and leafy green veggies, enjoy regular out of cage play time, are spayed or neutered, and receive regular checkups and healthcare as needed. We do not recommend or support companion rabbits that are housed outdoors either in a yard or on a back porch. Due to the dangers specific to Florida living, we generally do not recommend that domestic rabbits spend any time out of doors.
House rabbits are companion animals that enjoy being in the center of family activity!
- ORCA is an adult-oriented organization
- We advocate that house rabbits live INDOORS only within an air conditioned area
- We do not support housing rabbits outdoors, even on screened porches
- We do not advocate or support “showing” rabbits
