Sponsor Gladys

Gladys was rescued by the South Florida SPCA from a massive cruelty case in summer of 2019. The man had over 200 animals on 1.5 acres of dirt. Most of the animals were sick, and many were dying from starvation and infectious diseases.

In August of 2019, Gladys, her best friend Periwinkle, and Periwinkles’s daughter Petunia were brought to Critter Creek, along with the five cows who were rescued from the same case. As often happens with hoarding cases, the animals breed out of control. So, it was unsurprising that Periwinkle and Gladys arrived pregnant. Six months later, Gladys gave birth to her son Cameron, and the two have been inseparable ever since.

And last year, we were able to reunite Gladys with her older son, Elvis, who had been rescued from the same hoarding case. Elvis had been adopted by a private adopter in 2019, but by late 2024, the adopter could no longer care for him. We were asked if we would willing to take him, and we enthusiastically said yes. now Gladys lives with her two boys, and the family won’t ever be separated again.

Your sponsorship allows us to give Gladys the life she deserves and funds for her veterinary care, feed, enrichment and more. With a one-month-only sponsorship, you will receive a digital certificate of “adoption.” With a monthly or annual sponsorship, you will receive a digital and print certificate of “adoption,” quarterly email updates with exclusive photos, and an invitation to our exclusive sponsors-only virtual tour. In addition, your name will be displayed on Gladys’ page, acknowledging you as her sponsor.

Sponsorships are not only a great way to support the rescued residents of Critter Creek, but they also make great gifts!
