About Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary
Providing a safe, healthy, happy
forever home to unwanted exotic and
unusual pets
Sometimes we have young, friendly, healthy pets that are available for adoption, too.
Critter Camp is the
ONLY sanctuary in the U.S.
actually caring for the large
variety of different animals that
we do:
Over 300 animals of 30 different
species!
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, regardless 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.”

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
