Sponsor Mel

For over a decade, Mel lived at a small, family-owned farm. He was used as a stud bull so the farmers had a steady supply of babies to sell to the slaughterhouse.

But then, Mel began losing weight. As he grew weaker, he could no longer impregnate the herd’s females, which meant he was no longer of any use to the farmers. Farmed animals like Mel who are no longer “useful”-and who are possibly ill-generally have a grim fate.

Fortunately for Mel, a concerned neighbor, alarmed by Mel’s condition, reached out to Critter Creek. When we saw him, we knew we had to help him. Had we been unable to intervene, Mel would no longer be alive.

When you sponsor Mel, you help us provide him with the care he deserves. This includes vet visits, diagnostic tests, and his special nutrient-rich diet of peanut hay, beet pulp. and sweet feed. It also includes treats! Since arriving at the sanctuary, Mel had discovered that he loves fruit, especially watermelon.

Your sponsorship allows us to give Mel the life he deserves and funds his veterinary care, feed, hay, 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 The Wall of Fame, acknowledging you as his sponsor.

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