Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary

This Amazon Prime Day, we invite you to make a difference and an impact to our sanctuary programs, environmental efforts, and wildlife protection. We would be so grateful if you could check out our Amazon wishlist and consider making a gift of a nature book, seeds for our birds or other items that inspire kindness to the environment! https://lnkd.in/eaiKrgAn

Meet Christine and her 14-year-old chihuahua mix, Gizzie. 7 years ago, Christine was having a difficult time and struggling with depression. Then, she met and adopted Gizzie and the bond was instantaneous, giving her purpose and much needed companionship. But even with all the love, Christine was worried she wouldn't be able to afford proper veterinary care for her best friend. She took care of the rabies vaccine, but was unable to afford little else, almost losing Gizzie to pneumonia at one point. Now, as a client of our Senior Paw Project, Gizzie is receiving the preventative well care that will add to the length and quality of her life. If that's not worth a tail wag, we don't know what is! When you donate to the Senior Paw Project, sometimes you are helping to feed a pet or provide veterinary support. Other times, you might be helping to save a life (or two).

Volunteers needed! Looking to get outdoors AND make a difference? We're searching for a few volunteers to help us tend the sanctuary's native pollinator gardens with weeding, edging and mulching throughout the summer season. We invite families, organizations, boy or girl scout troops, and individuals to 'adopt' one section of the garden for the season through September. If interested, fill out our volunteer form at: https://lnkd.in/eQJX3a56

Our Senior Paw Project is growing - we are now in 47 senior communities in CT & MA. In 6 short months our client’s food needs have increased 35%! We are feeding 210+ animals and will feed more in July for our Q3 distribution. You can help by donating pet food from our Amazon Wish List or by scanning the QR code. Thank you!! https://lnkd.in/e-BzV3CR

From across the pond, we're grateful to share our story and mission with The Times and The Sunday Times. Whether here or abroad, we're all connected in a wish for a better world filled with kindness and peace.

Yesterday in Newtown, high school seniors completed a rite of passage with their beautiful graduation ceremony. And while Catherine was not among them, we smile and applaud their accomplishments with a very full heart. So many of these students have stepped up in this world in ways adults simply haven't. Whether volunteering, speaking up against injustices, holding fundraisers for causes they love or simply showing kindness in interactions, these young people are wise beyond their years. Congratulations to each and every one! We were also honored to share about the sanctuary with this story by @abcnews and @KyraPhillips. So much love and support - thank you! https://lnkd.in/eaNc2rv9 #sandyhook #newtown #catherineviolethubbard #cvhfoundation #cvhanimalsanctuary

Great interview with our dear friends (and animal lovers!) Anna and Raven! We're so grateful to have STAR 99.9 FM (with CT BRACES, LLC) back as this year's media sponsor for Catherine's Butterfly Party on June 8th! Throughout the years, Star 99.9 FM, CT Braces and Anna & Raven have helped us celebrate every step of the way and we are incredibly grateful!

It's always the highlight of the season to speak with NICOLE NALEPA and Scot Haney on Great Day at 9a on WFSB TV!! Goosebumps were had by all as Jenny Hubbard shared what's in store for this year's Catherine's Butterfly Party on June 8th including the symbolic one day renaming of the Monarch Butterfly to the 'Catherine Butterfly'. AND we are over the moon excited to welcome Nicole Nalepa to the event!! So come on over to Newtown and say hello in person! https://lnkd.in/ed2DyZpV

We are excited to share a secret we’ve been keeping! On June 8th, the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) will symbolically rename the beloved Monarch Butterfly, the ‘Catherine Butterfly’, in honor of Catherine’s 18th Birthday!
