  • Wildlife, farm animals, amphibian and reptile ambassador educators and k-9 demonstrations

  • Face painting, crafts, vendors, artisans, food trucks, live music, entertainment & endless activities for kids!

The CVH Animal Sanctuary is committed to helping animals in need find the loving homes they deserve. Thanks to our sponsors, Catherine’s Butterfly Party always remains FREE to participating rescues AND the public. This allows hard working animal welfare groups to focus on their animals while we take care of everything else.
