Small animal rescue and sanctuary
"Making a difference, one tiny life at a time"
Statement of Purpose
This corporation is organized exclusively for the following charitable and educational purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code. This corporation strongly believes that all small lives matter. By discouraging impulse purchases and educating others, we hope to decrease the number of sugar gliders and other small pocket-pets being neglected, mistreated, and abandoned at pet shops, rescue shelters, and other places. We are dedicated to providing a safe, healthy, and enriching environment to the small pets in our sanctuary; providing assistance, direction, and mentorship to other small animal parents in need; educating owners, breeders, veterinarians, animal vendors, and prospective owners in the proper care, treatment, and emotional and physical needs of these amazing little creatures. Fundraising to support this will be achieved through solicitation and acceptance of contributions from individuals and other methods or events as the Board of Directors of the Organization desire to utilize. No proceeds of this corporation will enrich any individual except reasonable compensation may be paid for services to the corporation.

Education
Cordy's Castle visits 2+ exotic pet shows every month, offering education and guidance on a variety of small animals. While sugar gliders are our specialty, we have other small animals as well. If we don't know the answer, we will help you find someone who does!

rescue
There's a lot of controversy on what the word "rescue" means. Some people argue it's "re-homing" if money is involved. Others feel that the removal of an animal from a situation where they are not receiving adequate care, even if it means buying them from someone who refuses to surrender them otherwise, still qualifies as a "rescue". Here at Cordy's Castle, we aren't worried about semantics. We care about helping animals in need and networking with others who share the same passion.

sanctuary
Many of the babies we take in are unhealthy, geriatric, ill-tempered, and are otherwise poor candidates for re-homing. We feel these little ones deserve just as much love and care as the others. For these residents, we provide a nurturing home for them to live out the rest of their little lives knowing they are loved, safe, and secure.
