Caring For Creatures
   
A no-kill animal sanctuary located in central Virginia, established in 1988, which is dedicated to caring for homeless animals and enhancing the human-animal bond - More about our mission.

Caring For Creatures is a non-profit, charitable organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Can you send a donation today?

The sanctuary requires
$ 1000 a day to operate at a minimal level--- and that doesn't take into account emergencies like we currently require for our carport repairs.

As you can imagine, with the economic downturn, the animals and the sanctuary are feeling the pressure of these lean times. The 200+ animals in residence depend on the generosity of the community.

    The consecutive snowstorms have wiped out all three of our carport dog pens. We've moved dogs to every available spot on the property: in the kitchen, laundry room, and offices. We are deeply grateful to our friends Jim and Betsy Brown at Pampered Pets, have taken to kennel for a while. This wonderful community is coming together in our time of need!

ANN

If you are a true cat person and have shared your life with many cats, you probably have described one or more of your feline friends as the PERFECT CAT!

With over 150 cats in residence, all of us at CFC would say we have any number of perfect cats and ANN is a kitty who just might be the perfect cat for you.

Ann is a beautiful long-haired orange tabby who was born in April 2009 – so she has not yet celebrated her first birthday. She and her two siblings were rescued from behind a dumpster at a local Food Lion grocery store. Ann is a playful youngster and enjoys the company of other cats; but there are also times when she is content to curl up in a bed and just watch her cat friends interact. She is sweet and loving with humans and seems to strike a good balance between wanting to spend time in your lap and displaying her feline independent side. Staff and volunteers have described her as a huge cuddle bug and a purr monster. Ann and her siblings Lee and Landon appear in CFC’s 2010 calendar as April’s feline beauties.

If you have never lived with a perfect cat or are ready to experience life with another one, plan a visit to the sanctuary to meet Ann as soon as possible.

Awesome Ann !
