The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary enriches the lives of all beings by promoting compassion and acceptance. By honoring the bond between animals, humans and the environment, we’re creating a kinder and gentler world for all.


Whether focused on bugs, birds, pets, farm animals, nature or the ecosystem, Sanctuary programs provide wonderful learning opportunities that promote the care and nurture of creatures and the world where they live.
The Catherine Violet Hubbard Sanctuary honors the life and legacy of Catherine Violet Hubbard, a 6-year-old victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. Guided by her love for all living things, the sanctuary is committed to protecting animals, educating people, and nurturing the environment. By celebrating the profound connection between animals, humans, and nature, we strive to ensure all creatures can live safely—whether in loving homes or their native habitats. While we look forward to the day we can welcome animals on-site, we are not currently able to accept animals at the sanctuary at this time.
