STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY
CCRAS is a state of the art facility for cats, dogs, and the people who love them. Filled with plenty of natural light, welcoming colors and inviting spaces, CCRAS also features an air exchange system and controlled temperatures to keep our animal guests comfortable, healthy, and happy. In addition, the facility and surrounding land has play areas for dogs, wooded walking trails, and a multi-purpose room for training, education, and celebration.

CHRISTOPHER CUTLER RICH
This wonderful new facility is named in memory of Christopher Cutler Rich and will serve to honor Christopher, whose great love and care for animals far exceeded his life in years. Christopher, known as "Boo" to those close to him, was an avid animal lover, just like his family.
