CLOSED TO VISITORS DUE TO COVID-19

Due to the increasing concerns surrounding COVID-19, Rikki’s Refuge Animal Sanctuary has decided to close the sanctuary to the public as a precautionary measure. As the hours go by and more and more businesses, schools, and organizations close because of this public health crisis, it is clear that this is the best decision to protect the health and safety of our 1,300 amazing animal residents, our hardworking staff members, and our visitors and volunteers. We will continue to closely monitor the CDC and local government agencies and will reevaluate the situation as it evolves.

We will remain active and will share fun photos and stories on our social media pages and we will also be doing some Facebook Live virtual tours and meet and greets with the animals! We will still be here!

Keep an eye on our website and social media pages for updates. Please contact us if you have any questions.

turkeys gobble gobble 2 - SIZEDOur turkeys continue to be game-changers for so many who visit us at Rikki’s Refuge. Seeing their gentleness, their playfulness, and their amazingly friendly and funny social behavior ~ it catches many of us off guard. And then we wonder how we ever thought otherwise. Two great reasons pictured here to consider adopting a
plant-based lifestyle.

Camelot!

This handsome boy is CAMELOT (do you love his mustache?) and he has captured the heart of everyone at Rikki’s Refuge.

He came to us with leg issues, but for now they are just fine – still no surgery required – and he is a lovebug. Oh, and he loves for his favorite human Tina to hold him and carry him around like a baby (although he gets around by himself just fine too!)!

He might be a bit spoiled!
