Such a beautiful day !! The sun deck is the place to be !!
Did YOU know everything Rikki’s survives on donations from YOU ?
Donations of food and supplies. Visit us at Rikki’s Refuge on SATURDAYS for Donation Drop Off and take a self guided tour of with the large critters at the Life Center. Bring apples and carrots to feed the horses, cows, sheep, goats and pigs!!
Our store Re-Tail also relies on DONATIONS of gently used household items, furniture, clothing, indoor and outdoor decor and more !!!!
Bring a bag, a box, or a whole trailer full to Re-Tail. We sell everything and use the proceeds to feed and house the animals !!
Re-Tail is open to accept donations at the Store Saturdays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. And on Saturdays, bring some food or supplies to the store and help us FILL A TRUCK and FEED THE ANIMALS !!
Thank YOU for you support. We cannot do it without YOU.
Come sit a spell. If the chairs are occupied there’s lots of room on the ground!
No matter how much you love cats, you can certainly get your cat fix at Rikki’s Refuge.
With over 500 cats, you’ll find new friends in every color and size !!
The cats will come from all over to greet you !!
Rikki’s Refuge has over 300 acres set aside for native wildlife !!! You’ll see many of them wondering about. Watch for our nature hikes, they’re always a lot of fun !!!
Don’t miss the doggies!! There may not be as many dogs as cats, but there just as loved !!
Most of the dogs have a favorite hooman. Wanda’s is Doug. She’s the first to greet him every day.
Beauty chose Lauren and is out to meet her as soon as she hers Lauren’s vehicle approaching.
Such beautiful blue skies !!
It’s even beautiful at the dump today !
Hustle and ruffle your bustle !!!
No, she didn’t get caught under a falling limb. She saw a comfortable sitting spot and wiggled under !!
