It is awesome that Revelation Gardens provided a true sanctuary for this special needs senior in his final year. He could have had a sad end to his long life, but instead he had a safe, caring exit. Thank you Dawn and others working…
“Help us help cats and dogs until their perfect home and human is found”
Revelation Gardens was founded to offer sanctuary to cats and dogs in need. Our focus began with those displaced through owner death or disability, but quickly expanded to include all situations. We now have three locations: Our original sanctuary, an adoption center, and The Annex. We also formed Buddy’s Bowl a community outreach program providing pet owner support so more pets stay in the home.
Our Sanctuary permanently houses 18 cats and 2 dogs. Nearly all have special needs ranging from FIV+ and FeLV+ to behavioral issues. They live in a home-like environment with free range access to the facility. Due to the number residing there, we utilize “shifts” where each group leaves their room and has access to the main areas of the home. Three groups rotate their time in this manner.
The Annex houses the majority of our special needs rescues and consists of a main house and basement and three sheds that have been converted to special needs housing (Mouser Mansion, Catty Shack, and Alley-cat Flat). Thirty three cats live at our Annex.
Our adoption center is located within a retail shop called Revelation Gardens Unique Goods and Cool Cats Shoppe. We offer a Book Nook where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and read with our adoptable cats. We also offer a variety of unique items and proudly feature upcycled wind chimes made from pet food cans, refurbished furniture, local art, Dixie Belle Paint, and Thistle Farm products.
In June of 2020 we founded Buddy's Bowl, a community outreach program focusing on providing pet owner support so more pets stay in the home. So far we have helped over 800 pets and their humans with food, supplies, vetting assistance, and providing information on handling difficult pet behaviors reducing the number of animals entering the rescue/shelter system.

Life has a way of mimicking nature. It shows up in unpredictable and often inconvenient, if not downright troubling ways (think our recent thunder storms!). I have noticed within my own life, if I want to experience peace and joy I must consider my…
