Rescue FAQs

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.”
