Soaring living costs have crushed the volunteer organisation, run by Smithfield bunny lover Sally Arnold.
"I don't want to lose our home because of the work we do with the bunnies but we're very close to it," Ms Arnold said.
"It costs about $280 to run the service every week and between mortgage repayments and council rates, it's getting harder and harder to make ends meet."

And then there were 80.
The Peninsula Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals reported Friday a South San Francisco man who obtained two rabbits about two years ago for his son's school project didn't know what to do when the rabbits kept multiplying so he just tried to take care of them.
