Support Our Work

Help us make a difference for small animals.

Make a donation.

We currently have over 200 animals in our care. In 2025, we accumulated over $20,500 in vet bills, and over $8,500 in other animal care costs.

By donating, you can help us adopt out more animals and support our permanent residents, many of whom have ongoing health issues.

Donate

Donations are not tax-deductible as of yet. If you would like to donate through bank transfer or by making a direct payment to our vet, please contact us.

Bella, Out of The Pocket Micro-Sanctuary

“Every day, I see small animals and their people in situations that could have been prevented with proper education. I’m working to make content that provides that.

What I would love is for everyone to help educate others on the ethical care of small animals, and to also show compassion for animals in their own lives.

What I do isn’t special. I’ve saved the lives of animals, and so can you. Sometimes all it takes is just giving good advice.”
