Support Hunts Exotics Foundation
We Cannot Do This Without You
We are home to more than 300 animals representing over 70 species — and there is no pause button on animal care. They still need to eat every day. Habitats still need to be cleaned, repaired, and improved. Veterinary appointments still happen. Emergencies still happen. We do not have paid staff. We truly cannot do it without help.
Give NowWhere Your Support Goes
Donations help cover the real, everyday costs of operating an exotic animal sanctuary and educational organization. Sometimes a donation helps with a major veterinary emergency or a new enclosure. Sometimes it buys something far less exciting — like bleach, trash bags, water bowls, hardware, or another load of mulch. It all matters.

Become a Monthly Supporter
Small monthly donations create reliable support we can plan around. A gift of $5, $10, or $20 each month may not feel enormous by itself, but when a community gives together, it helps provide steady funding for food, veterinary care, sanctuary maintenance, and education. Monthly supporters help us face each new month knowing that at least part of the animals' care is already covered.
Support Tilly the Ring-Tailed Lemur
Tilly came to Hunts Exotics Foundation after being rejected and repeatedly attacked by her troop. Her first-year needs include her enclosure, spay procedure, specialized diet, transport equipment, enrichment, collars, leashes, and other supplies required to help her settle safely into her new life.
Support Tilly DirectlyHelp Us Keep the Hay Moving
Hay is one of our largest and most constant needs. We use Timothy hay, Coastal hay, and Orchard grass hay for several of the animals in our care. Between daily feeding, bedding, waste, weather, and the number of animals relying on it, we can go through multiple bales every single day. It disappears much faster than most people realize.
Consistent hay sponsorships give us one less daily expense to worry about and allow us to direct more funding toward veterinary care, habitats, and educational outreach.
