VALENTINE’S DAY – Rikki’s CLOSED for visitors

It’s icey, and and as it’s melting during the day it’s muddy. Then it freezes into ice. We can’t decide if the ice or mud is more slippery. But one thing we all agree on it

IT’S TOO SLIPPERY FOR VISITORS TO BE SAFE

so we must cancel Donation Drop Off / Visit With The Animals on Saturday the 14th.

The next scheduled Donation Drop Off / Visit With The Animals on Saturday the 28th. PLEASE check in to make sure it’s safe for us to open for visitors before coming out. The ice/mud cycle can be awful and last several weeks.

Meanwhile follow us for every day action at the refuge at

Let’s all hope spring comes soon !!

Yes, we’re still surviving the ice

January 28, 2026 — Surviving the Ice — Part 4

RIKKI’S REFUGE NO-KILL ANIMAL SANCTUARY
SURVIVING THE ICE
PART 4
January 28, 2026

It’s Thirsty Thursday !!
You’d think with the cold weather and all the ice and snow, nobody would be thirsty.
But they all want WATER … not frozen stuff. They might survive licking ice and snow.
But they’re happier when they get water. And that’s one reason work is so much harder at the refuge during these sub-freezing days. Ice has to be broken out of bowls and pools and troughs, and then they’re filled with fresh water. Please help support Rikki’s Refuge during this miserable weather. www.RikkisRefuge.org/Donate

Rikki’s Refuge, YOUR favorite animal sanctuary, really needs YOUR help TODAY. We survive solely on donations from kind and generous individuals just like you. There is no government or big sponsorship money. None. Every penny comes from wonderful people who care about the animals that no one else would give a home to.

All of our animals were rejected by adoption organizations. Nobody wanted them. They’re older, handicapped, need constant medical care, or have habits that people don’t appreciate. But here at Rikki’s Refuge, we love every single one, and believe they have not only the right to life, but the right to be who they are.

Please help us feed and care for them. Just ONE DOLLAR will care for one animal for a day. Please make a donation today. We are a 501(c)3 organization, and your donations are tax deductible. Thank YOU!!
