| Critter Camp is supported by donations and the hands-on, educational, entertaining tours we provide for all ages There is no government or public funding for our sanctuary. We rely on the kindness of animal lovers all across the country to help us care for these "forgotten" pets! Critter Camp is a registered Not-for-Profit, Charitable 501c3 Tax Exempt Organization USDA, Illinois Department of Agriculture & IL-DNR Licensed |
| Providing a safe, healthy, happy forever home to unwanted exotic and unusual pets Critter Camp is the ONLY licensed, registered, 501c3 non-profit, 100% no-kill, ALL volunteer, exotic pet sanctuary of its kind in the U.S. actually caring for the large variety of un-adoptable different animals that we do: Over 300 animals of 36 different species! *Critter Camp does not take in wildlife, we accept pets other than cats & dogs only! And we NEVER breed or sell animals!* Contact Us info@crittercamp.biz Phone: 815-266-1342 |
| 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, 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 has no need to live. 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.” |
