Elmira’s celebrated Earth Day AND the birthday of “Serval Mom” Veronika Silvani on April 22. Veronika has been donating to us for several years and we had never met her! Veronika and her husband, Rick, had a great time meeting the animals they have been supporting for so long. For her birthday, she received an Elmira’s gift package of t-shirts, framed pictures, DVD’s and calendars plus birthday cake of course. And WE received another generous donation of $3000. Thank you Veronika. Elmira, Tyler, the Board, and the rest of the gang love you very much.

Be on the lookout for the announcement to our most anticipated event yet! Enjoy great food, a fantastic place in Ruskin and all to benefit the animals at Elmira's. All this while giving you an opportunity to enjoy yourselves, make new friends and see some animals as well.

Mark your calendar for August 15th from 18:00 until they throw us out. Check our website often - the formal announcement and invitations will be going out before the middle of July


Jobi Harris, a very talented local watercolor artist and animal welfare advocate, is the author of Ask Fisher, an advice column for pets. Masterminded by the insights of Fisher the cat, Ask Fisher responds to other pets who write letters asking for advice. The column has published in tbt* of the St. Pete Times for the last 2 years. Jobi has become our newest supporter. Jobi and friend Geoff came to one of our benefit dinners, then visited us on a volunteer open house shortly thereafter and were hooked! She’s offered to donate a portion of her earnings from the sale of paintings she’ll create of our animals, in addition to donating originals for our upcoming benefit dinner in August.

Visit Jobi at: http://watercoloryourworld.com to get an idea of her talent and to see the work this wonderful lady does on behalf of animals, especially strays, and while you are at it, ask Fisher for any kind of pet advice at http://ask-fisher.com

MISSION STATEMENT
We provide continuing care, life management and enrichment to exotic and wild animals in need of a home.

We also provide educational opportunities and programs, increasing community awareness of the needs of these animals.

Elmira's is located near Tampa, Florida in a rural area on the Hillsborough/Manatee County line. We rely entirely on individual donations and have no paid employees. Although we often receive donated feed and materials and discounted veterinary services, our monthly expenses are substantial.   This is in addition to our need for land/moving expenses.

Please consider Elmira's the next time you are ready to make a charitable contribution.  Contributions can be sent directly to the sanctuary or to make a donation online, click here.

Donations are made through PayPal but you do not need
a PayPal account to donate. Any major credit card will work.
Thank you for helping us save these wonderful animals.
