Dawn does an amazing job and works so hard and countless hours running her rescue and shoppe that benefits these animals. She is local in Camden, Tennessee. I have seen her shoppe and place and it’s a beautiful and safe place for these rescues.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain for the old order of things has passed away”. -Revelation 21:4
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 located within a retail shop, and our 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 to special dietary needs. They live in a home-like environment with free range access to the house. 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. They are called Mouser Mansion, Catty Shack, and Alley-cat Flat! Thirty cats live at our Annex. The following slideshow shows some of the work involved in converting the sheds into housing for our kitties. Each area has a futon, cat trees, and catio for them to enjoy fresh air and sunshine.
Our adoption center is located within a retail shop called Revelation Gardens Unique Goods and Cool Cats Shoppe. It provides an opportunity for people to support our rescues through purchasing unique goods while also visiting with our adoptable pets. To learn more visit our Adoption Center Page
Buddy’s Bowl Community Outreach Program was started in June of 2020. Our main focus through Buddy’s Bowl is to reach those who need us most so more pets stay in the home. If we can help pet parents overcome barriers, we hope to reduce the number of animals entering our rescue and the local shelter. Click here to learn more.
Revelation Gardens is founded on the scripture Revelation 21:4
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain for the old order of things has passed away”. -Revelation 21:4
Like humans, cats and dogs experience grief and loss and the pain that accompanies abandonment and betrayal.
Revelation Gardens is diligent about helping cats and dogs in need learn to trust and feel safe and leave a past of pain and sickness behind them.
We have helped hundreds of cats and dogs that would have died alone on the streets live the best life possible and know love, even if just for a short time at the end of their life.
Our founding scripture illuminates what we hope for
and that we strive to wipe all the tears from the eyes of our rescues.
