Catherine Violet Hubbard had a natural ability to connect with and care for animals. She loved being in their presence and would whisper to them, “Tell all your friends I am kind.” To carry on one little girl’s legacy of providing a safe haven for animals, the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation is raising funds to build the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary. The Sanctuary will be located in the heart of Newtown, Connecticut, and will provide rescue and adoptive services for dogs, cats, rabbits and other companion animals, farm animal refuge, and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
