Eli was born on a small, family-owned dairy farm in Vermont. Like all males in the dairy industry, he was considered “useless” and bound for slaughter shortly after birth.
Marley was born on a factory farm. At about a week and a half of age, she was put on a transport truck, destined for a “nursery” and “finishing farm,” at which she would be fattened for slaughter. However, she wanted to live, and she jumped off the transport truck.
Eli and Marley were transported to Critter Creek together. On the ride, they formed a bond that has persisted, and the two now form each other’s chosen family.
Your sponsorship allows us to give Eli and Marley the lives they deserve, and funds their veterinary care, feed, hay, and more. With a one-month-only sponsorship, you will receive a digital certificate of “adoption.” With a monthly or annual sponsorship, you will receive a digital and print certificate of “adoption,” quarterly email updates with exclusive photos, and an invitation to our exclusive sponsors-only virtual tour. In addition, your name will be displayed on Eli and Marley’s page, acknowledging you as their sponsor.
Sponsorships are not only a great way to support the rescued residents of Critter Creek, but they also make great gifts!
