We try not to request donations very often- but it is becoming dire- Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary needs to pay down the vet bill asap so we can get some more animals in for treatment- (including some adrenal and insulinoma ferrets - we care for 23 right now!) We are only asking people to give $5 and pass along the word- thats it! really! See our site for a direct link to donate: www.crittercamp.biz We usually have been able to take in enough to make ends meet- but this year has been really down- and the number of sick animals coming in has been way up! So please spare the cost of about a gallon of gas, a premium coffee, or a fast food combo meal- send us $5 and urge everyone you know to do so too- Thank you! (Moderators feel free to not allow this message if it is against group policy! Since we care for so many pets we belong to dozens of groups so that we may stay on top of all info regarding each type of animal!) Beth www.crittercamp.biz Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary Caring for over 240 abused, abandoned and otherwise homeless exotic and unusual pets of 30 different types- the only licensed pet sanctuary of its kind in the country and possibly the world! Our Belief: At a certain point re-homing pets, particularly the unusual and exotic ones, at all costs often serves only to make the people involved feel better about themselves, irregardless of the stability and continuity of care the elderly, abused or ill animal, actually needs. Euthanizing such animals brings the rescuer down to the universally despised level of "puppy-mills" in that if an animal is no longer useful to humans it must be killed. This is incredibly heartbreaking. Again, people bred every one of these pet animals for human enjoyment and/or profit, therefore we as humans have an obligation to provide quality care for these animals for their entire lives whether or not they are "pet quality."
