Rikki's Refuge - how can I describe you? Perhaps the happiest place on earth. I think the most compassionate people on earth work there. They make every single animal feel at home. They care more about the animals' happiness than about their own. They do every thing for them. Wonderful place, wonderful people.

Do I love this place? Oh yeah !!!! It's amazing how they care for so many animals on such a small budget. And do it so wonderfully. Even the very very elderly ones are so so happy. And you can just tell how much the caretakers really care. You can see the love in their eyes. Such a gift to our planet. I wish everyone cared about animals like these people do.
My favorite place on earth. A true sanctuary for the animals. Especially on Thanksgiving.

As a rescue friend, we have worked with this Sanctuary over the years and they are wonderful. The staff that cares for the animals are pure gems and care about every single soul that calls the sanctuary home. I am so grateful that they are in existence. Love.

My kids and I have been frequent visitors to Rikki's Refuge for the past 10 years. We try to visit all areas of the refuge but always seem to be drawn to the felines. The animals, as well as the grounds, are well-managed by a caring staff - many of whom I've come to know as friends. Keep up the good work!
Hello my name is Douglas Deal. I'm the sanctuary manager here at rikkis refuge. I've been a member of this refuge for almost 7 years now. It's a wonderful place and one of a kind. It truly is a place for animals to call home . I've seen it work its magic on animals here that no one would give a chance too. We are open 365 days a year and the animals receive love , care, and affection from us and all the wonderful volunteers and visitors who devote their time here. I'm proud to be a part of such a spectacular place.
Rikki's Refuge is top of the line when it comes to true no kill shelters. They provide excellent care for the many animals who live at the refuge and never transfer pets to kill facilities. Rikki's Refuge is run with compassion and integrity. I recommend them highly.

Rikkis refuge and the home of vincent cat is a wonderful place saving all types of unwanted animals and our lost little ones thank God there is a place like this in our world they deserve so much respect and all the help they can have
Review from Guidestar
Rikki's Refuge fills a niche in animal welfare that is sadly small. They take the hard to place of all species and care for them. From cats with FIV, to dogs that are too old to place in most shelter adoption programs, to creatures like emus and pigs that most shelters cannot house, Rikki's takes all that they have space for.
