Well, there comes a time when you’ve got to stop and see the truth, no matter what the hurt.
Our Exotic Pet Rescue, Chaos & Critters, is nearing that point. Not there yet, mind you, but we are getting there. We’ve spent quite literally thousands of dollars to save Exotic pets that were abused or were no longer wanted by the humans that bought them. To date we’ve saved, and placed in good homes, some one hundred creatures. We’ve done it all with less than $1500 in donations. (Many thanks to all those that continue to support our cause. Especially Petfinder for the $1000 grant. It went to good use feeding many a beast.) We know that things are tight all across America. Especially with the cost of fuel today.
Still, we are a Tax Exempt, non-profit organization (i.e. tax deductions for you!). Belive me, there is NO PROFIT! Understand that we are a working class American family with four small children, a teenager in college, and one disabled parent (me). With the losses to our household income continuing unabated we will be forced to close the Rescue in a few months unless donations start coming in at a greater rate. Please, if you care for animals, send a donation. The link to do so can be found on our rescue website here.
Do the right thing. Support our efforts to save unwanted/abused Exotic pets and to educate those who seek out these most unusual of beast. Also, if you are aware of any grants that are available for organizations like ours, please write to us via this blog or our website.
Many thanks,
Mark & Beth
