Sponsor a CVAR Resident
At Center Valley Animal Rescue, we rescue hundreds of animals every year. Most of these animals find loving forever homes throughout our widespread community of animal lovers. However, we have some special long-term residents in need of ongoing care.
Your monthly sponsorship of a CVAR resident contributes to their food, medical expenses, and continued care. For instance, it costs about $50/month to feed a raccoon; $100/month to support high needs cats like Geronimo; $75/month to provide care for Maybelle; and $40/month to feed and care for our parrots.
We thank you for your continued support of CVAR animals!
Dynamite came to us by way of the Northwest Raptor Center in Sequim, who had rescued him from another facility in Eastern Washington where he had been used as an educational animal.
Dynamite came to us by way of the Northwest Raptor Center in Sequim, who had rescued him from another facility in Eastern Washington where he had been used as an educational animal.
At some point the owl had suffered a wing amputation, making him non-releasable. What’s more, the facility in Sequim was about to shut its doors permanently and so CVAR was considered the natural choice for Dynamite’s new home.
Kavu is a African Gray Parrot, in her 30’s. She was thought to be male until one day she laid an egg!
Kavu is a African Gray Parrot, in her 30’s. She was thought to be male until one day she laid an egg! Kavu was boarded at Chimacum vet hospital over the years and enjoyed it so much that when she went home, she would pull her feathers out. After a few rounds of this – her owners gave her to Chimacum Valley Vet, where she stayed for many years, before becoming a greeter at Center Valley.

Room 1 “Incontinental Suite” Cats – The CVAR Volunteers and staff have a special place in their hearts for this room of extra special cats.
Lovingly known as the “Incontinental Suite,” Room 1 is home to a varied group of special needs cats that all have one thing in common – they all have medical issues that make them incontinent!
Sadly, Magnum – the de facto “face” of Room 1 – has passed away, but his old buddies and future new roomies need ongoing care, not to mention extensive cleaning of both their room and themselves.
All the CVAR Room 1 cats are extremely friendly and love getting attention from our awesome volunteers.
Your sponsorship would keep these cats comfy and as healthy-as-possible while they are still with us.
Miss Kitty, Miss Mae, and Moki are Northern Raccoons.We have had Miss Kitty since 2014 when she was a baby;
Miss Kitty, Miss Mae, and Moki are Northern Raccoons. We have had Miss Kitty since 2014 when she was a baby; she is a Canine Distemper Virus survivor that is deaf and has neurological problems that have gotten better with age. These problems made her non-releasable as she would not be able to hunt and survive on her own.
We took Miss Mae in for Washington Dept. of Fish & Wildlife in late 2017 after she was seized from people who were illegally harboring her. She was 7 years old when we got her and had lived in captivity all her life, much of her time was spent in a dog crate. She was morbidly obese, had a skin infection from a flea infestation and had round worms. Mae also needed dental work and was also put on a strict diet. She is now healthy and doing well after lots of rehabilitation and medical care.
Moki was another raccoon taken from the wild and kept as a pet. After his owners heard Mae’s story on the news, they turned themselves in and Fish and Wildlife officers delivered him to us. Although not as over weight as Mae, Moki was also put on a diet. He was born in 2015.

Peanut Butter is a Blue and Gold Macaw in his 20’s. Dr. Tony rescued Peanut Butter after his owner brought him in to be euthanized. Peanut Butter is beloved by our volunteers, but no one touches or holds him besides Sara & Robert.
He loves to dance with visitors and say “Bye Bye,” as folks leave. This always brings a smile to their face!
Smokey was one of five starved llamas that we rescued with the help of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.
Smokey was one of five starved llamas that we rescued with the help of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department. Smokey was younger and seemed healthier than the rest. The others were emaciated, had dental abscesses and were elderly. We were a little less concerned about this slender, small, smoky brown, female. But suddenly, that all changed.

Maybelle the Pig is the Queen of Tucker’s Barnyard. These days you can find her blissfully lounging in her custom bed of hay, being bossy around feeding hour, or asking for a good old fashioned rump scratch from a volunteer.
Maybelle the Pig is the Queen of Tucker’s Barnyard. These days you can find her blissfully lounging in her custom bed of hay, being bossy around feeding hour, or asking for a good old fashioned rump scratch from a volunteer.
This is a far cry from the year-old emaciated pig that came to CVAR in 2011 from a large cruelty case out of Kitsap Co. Her case included 17 farm animals, plus rabbits. There was even a sheep who had been down so long, CVAR built her a custom sling. Maybelle was so skinny you could see her hips and rib bones through her skin. With diligent care and love from CVAR she came around fast and has been a favorite in the barnyard ever since.
Maybelle is up for adoption, but as an older pig she has some arthritis that is treated with daily meds, so she may live her days out with us. Your monthly sponsorship keeps Maybelle in fresh hay, medication and a high-quality diet of custom formulated senior pig food.
