CHANGING THE WAYS WE THINK AND FEEL ABOUT LIVING WITH AND CARING FOR ANIMALS

Thank you for Supporting

Big Sky CARES on Giving Tuesday!

During these very challenging times, I am especially grateful for your Giving Tuesday donation. Please accept my heartfelt thanks on behalf of the entire team at Big Sky CARES and all the animals in our care.


It is truly a community effort to deliver community animal care, and YOU make it all possible. Every animal who finds a second chance at life at Big Sky CARES has that opportunity ONLY because you cared first.


Thank you for being a part of changing the ways we think and feel about living with and caring for animals. Your support makes an important difference to achieving our mission for the long term as well as the animals in our care today.


With much gratitude,

Catherine Wilbert

Founder & CEO

News about Big Sky

The organization known to many as Big Sky Ranch/CATNIP Foundation is now Big Sky CARES (Community Animal Resources and Education Services). Our name change reflects the growth of our organization since its founding 10 years ago. Today, our operations encompass two facilities and more than a dozen programs aimed at keeping animals out of shelters. In 2021, we moved our base of operations from Big Sky Ranch to a 6,000 sq. ft. multi-use facility at 82060 Highway 25 in Folsom, Louisiana. Our Big Sky CARES facility houses a low-cost community animal clinic and hospital; the Calico Cat Café Adoption Center, where Big Sky pets mingle with potential adopters; a retail shop featuring locally handmade goods, animal-themed art and gifts, and discounted pet supplies; pet boarding space; and warehouse storage space for use in our role as an affiliate of GOODS (formerly Rescue Bank), a program of Greater Good Charities.
