Creating a life long home for

ANIMALS IN NEED

At Cedarhill Animal Sanctuary, we believe every life deserves love, dignity, and a safe place to call home. We are deeply committed to rescuing animals in need—both domestic and exotic—and providing lifelong care to those who have suffered abandonment, abuse, or neglect.


Here, majestic big cats, horses, dogs, domestic cats, and livestock all share a forever home—a place where second chances aren’t just given, they are celebrated. Within our sanctuary’s embrace, every animal finds peace, healing, and unconditional kindness.

#GivingTuesday

marks the start of the giving season—a global movement that transforms gratitude into action. Nestled between Black Friday and the holiday rush, it’s a moment to pause and invest in what truly matters: compassion, care, and lifelong sanctuary. At Cedarhill, this day is a rallying cry. Your gift doesn’t just support operations—it fuels healing, dignity, and second chances for animals who’ve endured too much. As the season of generosity unfolds, #GivingTuesday invites you to be part of something lasting. One day. Big impact. Endless love.
