Cameron’s Mother, Gladys, was rescued by the South Florida SPCA from a massive cruelty case in the summer of 2019. The man had over 200 animals on 1.5 acres of dirt. Most of the animals were sick, and many were dying from starvation and infectious diseases.
In August of 2019, Gladys, her best friend Periwinkle, and Periwinkle’s daughter Petunia were brought to Critter Creek, along with the five cows who were rescued from the same case. As often happens with hoarding cases, the animals breed out of control. So, it was unsurprising that Periwinkle and Gladys arrived pregnant. Six months later, Gladys gave birth to Cameron, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
In 2024, we were able to introduce Cameron to Elvis, his older brother, whom he had never gotten to meet! Elvis had been rescued from the same hoarding case and adopted by a private adopter in 2019, but by late 2024, the adopter could no longer care for him. We were asked if we would be willing to take him, and we enthusiastically said yes. Now their family of 3 lives happily together and won’t ever be separated again.
Watching the dynamic of the 3 together is always a hoot. Cameron and his brother, Elvis, could not be more opposite. Cameron has more of a fluffy exterior, which matches is teddy-bear like personality. Elvis, on the other hand, is usually sleeker and has a bit of a mischievous streak, but they love each other just the same! One thing they do have in common is their love for their mother, Gladys. They both get anxious if ever separated, even for routine things like farrier day, so we make sure they always have access to one another!
