OUR GOALS ARE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE LOVE AND COMPANIONSHIP THAT ALTERNATIVE PETS PROVIDE AND INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT HEALTH WARNING SIGNS TO PROPERLY CARE FOR AND HOUSE SMALL PETS SO THEY ARE HAPPY AND HEALTHY. WE ARE BASED IN WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. WE TRAVEL ALL OVER SOUTH FLORIDA TO PICK-UP AND ADOPT OUT PETS. WE HAVE ADOPTERS IN KEY WEST, NAPLES, TAMPA, ORLANDO, AND JACKSONVILLE. WE SPECIALIZE IN THE CARE OF AND EDUCATION ABOUT RATTUS NORVEGICUS (NORWAY RATS); HOWEVER, IN SOUTH FLORIDA IF YOUR PET IS UNUSUAL, SUCH AS A CHINCHILLA, SUGAR GLIDER, HAMSTER, GERBIL, RAT, MOUSE, FERRET, BUNNY, OR GUINEA PIG, THERE ARE VERY FEW SAFE PLACES TO SURRENDER. SO WE WENT FROM A RAT RESCUE TO A SMALL ANIMAL RESCUE; BASICALLY NO CATS, DOGS, OR BIRDS. WE EVEN TAKE IN REPTILES, BUT THAT IS BECAUSE WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT OF THE HERPETOLOGICAL SOCIETY (WHO THINKS OUR AMBASSADORS ARE AWESOME) AND HE HELPS BY CARING FOR SURRENDERED REPTILES. WHEN IT COMES TO SMALL PETS, JOSEPHINE'S BELIEVES HEALING THEIR WOUNDS AND PROVIDING THEM SHELTER AND SECURITY IS AS IMPORTANT TO AS IT WOULD BE FOR ANY OTHER MORE COMMON PET. WE CARE FOR THE SMALL AND DISENFRANCHISED.. THE UNDERVALUED PRAY ANIMALS DOMESTICATED OVER 150 YEARS AGO .. SO LONG AGO THAT THEY ARE VULNERABLE AND COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON US FOR THEIR SAFETY AND WELL-BEING. JOSEPHINE'S IS JUST LIKE THE ANIMALS THEY ADVOCATE FOR. SMALL BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF HEART AND PASSION FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING. WE HOPE TO CHANGE MINDS AWAY FROM THE SIGMAS ABOUT RATS AND OTHER ANIMALS. SO MANY PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE HOW SOCIAL THEY ARE AND HOW MUCH LOVE AND CARE THEY NEED AND GIVE BACK. THIS IS A DIFFERENT AND WONDERFUL WORLD.

The Oasis Sanctuary is a Rescue and Retirement facility for exotic birds, predominantly CITES I and II endangered birds. We offer birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives. We do not sell or breed birds. We do not offer birds for adoption. Many of The Oasis birds come from other rehabilitation and/or adoption programs where qualified personnel determined it was not in the bird's best interest to be placed in private homes. Some of our birds have "special needs", are physically handicapped or challenged requiring unique living or feeding situations. Several have been bounced from home to home, often being physically and/or emotionally abused and have simply become too fearful of people to be companions any longer. A number of The Oasis birds are "retired" breeders, or other birds originally imported for production purposes, which, due to age, infirmity or temperament often would be facing euthanasia. Because many of our birds are not interested in or are incapable of human interaction, they are housed with the same or similar, compatible species in non-breeding pairs or small flocks in large outdoor flights.

Our Mission: To make a measurable difference by bringing the worlds of at risk equines and at risk individuals together through equine facilitated learning and coaching. We are a rescue in the sense that we fundraise to rescue horses in at risk situations. Where we are different is we partner with approved partner rescues. These partner rescues take in, rehab, train, and place majority of these deserving horses into forever homes. We do not adopt horses out at this time.The wonderful horses that make up our herd make up a slightly different demographic. Some have physical limitations and are not available for adoption and will live out a safe, loving life with us. Some have been so severely abused by humans that it would not be safe to put them up for adoption, they too will spend their lives with us, safe and being loved. Then the remainder of the sweet souls that make up our herd are under evaluation to become equine coaching partners and help transform lives. We are passionate about raising awareness and shedding light on the gifts that the horses have to give, beyond just being ridden.Our vision is to continue to build our coaching platform, in partnership with other non profits that represent at risk demographics such that we can create specific programs for their needs - from at risk youth, addiction, abuse, sex trafficking survivors, divorce and the list goes on. We also have a for profit division which continues to benefit the horses which focuses on Equine Partnered Trans-formative Coaching, and helping people get on their path to their purpose.

The Odd Cat Sanctuary is a nonprofit 501c (3) organization approved MA charity. Our mission with the Odd Cats of New England is simple, yet complex – our foundation regards the Odd Cats in every sense, be it a medical illness, a behavioral issue, abandoned, abused, neglected, feral, semi-feral, death row inmates, or physically challenged. While our cats cannot speak for themselves we have committed our time and effort to champion their cause. Cats have a magnificent presence that deserves to be defended through love, medical care, and affection in the fostering role first; and then with adoption options and placement in their forever home. We have developed the process toward adoption that supports our mission. Our adoption procedure is a three step method that nurtures a successful placement. Additionally, our rescue seeks to decrease the overpopulation in New England that is desperately challenged, this challenge to the overpopulation is where the Odd Cat thrives. We are entirely foster based, volunteer driven, and completely reliant on donations, contributions, and fund raising. Community support is our foundation.
