Thank you! Meet New Rescues & more!

We are thrilled to announce that GlobalGiving has given Critter Camp a hardship grant of $1000! We cannot thank everyone at GlobalGiving enough for this generous donation!
We are receving this because due to Covid-19 we are lacking approximately 1/10th of our annual donations that would normally come from our hands on educational tours and presentations. In order to comply with state shut-down regulations, and minimize the danger to our volunteers and animals we are currently eliminating unneccesary contact with the public by placing our tours and presentations on hold. This grant will greatly help towards our shortfall of donations.
We are using this grant to pay our veternary bill and purchase supplies.
Meet our newest rescues: Falcor the hamster, Poppy the ratty; Peanut, Stella, Thelma and Louise the guinea pigs.
Our elderly fennec fox Miss Bunny had her blood work done and is now on a second daily medicine, but she continues to be active and happy!
We continue to be grateful for your ongoing support!
Thank you!

New Rescues, Covid-19 and more
By Beth Randall | Director
![Bolt]()
Bolt
Thank you for your support after our very sad last update!
We have since rebuilt Miss Pearl's house and she is very happy!
Before "lockdown" we took in 3 more guinea piggies : Bolt, Valentino & Brownie.
Our ratties Daisy & Oakland has surgery to remove tumors and they are doing fine now.
We are reminding folks that a fun thing to do while you practice social distancing is to watch our hundreds of videos on our Youtube Channel: www.youtube.com/crittercampmom
And to follow us on Facebook for daily pictures and updates: www.Facebook.com/crittercamp
Due to Covid-19 and the emerging Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (both which can be devastating to some of our animals) we are placing our educational tours and presentations on hold indefinitely. The care of the animals take top priority. This unfortunately cut off one of our funding streams.
Your support at this time is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!

Tragedy & Devastation
By Beth Randall | Director
![Rambo]()
Rambo
On Wednesday morning 2-19-20 we had a tragic fire that burned to the ground the newly remodeled she-shed we created for Miss Pearl the pig & Rambo the tortoise.
We greatly thank the good Samaritan who alerted us to the fire and the local German Valley Fire Department for their rapid and thorough response.
The fire is being classified as an accident and as yet there has been no cause determined.
Alex R. heroically saved Pearl, but the flames were too high and smoke too thick to be able to find Rambo and sadly she has gone to the Rainbow Bridge far before her time.
We are devastated to say the least.
(CritterCampmom was only one week post op of her hip replacement at the time and unable to even walk out to the scene safely. It has been an exceptionally painful time, both physically and emotionally)
The building itself is insured and we are in the process of working with the company on the claim.
(Pearl is currently staying in the entryway of the rabbit & guinea pig areas, but may go to an already arranged temporary foster home until we can rebuild her area depending on how long this process is.)
Thank you to everyone for their support during this unimaginably difficult time
