Time to Make a Difference.
Rescue. Rehabilitate. Rebuild.
Founder, Carrie M. Leo
Caring For Cottontails Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation, Inc.
Raised in the countryside of New York State, I developed an interest in wild and domestic animals and dreamed about working with animals as I grew up. But after attending college in New York City, I returned back to my roots and stayed close to family.
Through years of working in (what seemed like) every industry other than the one I had always wanted, I finally decided to follow my enduring dream of working with animals of all kinds.
In 2012, I organized a small effort in the rehabilitation and keeping of wild animals. The following year, I started keeping and working with exotic animals - which are much different than the state's indigenous wildlife. The working project was incorporated into a charitable business and offered educational opportunities for the surrounding community. - working with college students, exotic animal veterinarians, and other facilities renown for keeping exotic and wild animals.
I'm passionate about working with animals about which few people know. I also am passionate about defending my liberty to do so. I intend to continue on and work with endangered species someday soon; hopefully, the African Painted Dog.
