Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $188,804 Revenue: $148,191

Critter Encounters is a wildlife sanctuary caring for rescued native and exotic species and providing live animal educational programs to the communities within Southern California. In the last year, Critter Encounters Animal Ambassadors did hundreds of events, bringing joy and education to Retirement Facilities, Schools, Girl Scouts, as well as Community & Private events. These programs generated over $148,000 in program services revenue. In addition, Critter Encounters also raised over $82,000 in private individual and corporate donations. In 2024, we moved the sanctuary to a larger property with more housing for rescued animals in need. With all of our growth, we were able to offer many additional programs to the community.
