Cotti for a Cause

The mission of the Center is to create a home away from home for children and adults with disabilities, a place that offers parents a time off from the emotional and physical care their children need. Families who cannot afford services may apply for free or reduced cost care via our Scholarship Fund.

The hotel is an unparalleled animal care facility and adoption center located in Cumberland, Rhode Island. Complementing our central facility, we maintain foster homes across New England. We constitute a devoted collective of animal enthusiasts dedicated to rescuing creatures facing euthanasia in overcrowded shelters, as well as abandoned animals, litters discovered in fields, those enduring inhumane conditions, and other homeless animals in distress. Our primary objective is to provide unwavering care to these rescues until they secure their foster homes. In tandem with our rescue efforts, we are resolute in our commitment to public education on responsible pet care. Every animal under our guardianship undergoes comprehensive vetting and is spayed or neutered, without regard for age, breed, or medical expenses. Notably, the Hotel operates independently, receiving no state funding or government assistance. Our existence is sustained through the generosity of compassionate individuals, fundraising initiatives, and adoption fees. Your support is vital in our collective mission to make a lasting impact in the lives of these deserving animals.

In a remarkable show of community spirit, my workplace Cotti Johnson, has generously contributed funds to support a cause close to my family’s heart. We are active members of the St. Thomas Aquinas Church and my daughter, Eva, is actively involved in the youth group. They are currently engaged in a fundraising campaign to support their upcoming trip to Knoxville Tennessee, aiming to provide volunteer services to those in need. Through these combined efforts, this group of compassionate young individuals is not only seeking to explore new horizons, but they are also dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of others during their mission trip. Cotti Johnson is helping make this possible. We cannot thank them enough for their generosity. Eva is very excited about the memories she will create with this new chapter in her life story.

Your gift supports CIVOC’s efforts to assist veterans of all eras with the most comprehensive menu of services on Cape Cod. For example, your support helps us to benefit the men and women who have served in our armed forces with programs such as our Transportation Initiative, which helps veterans reach healthcare resources in Boston and Providence, as well as our Food Distribution Center, which opened in December and supports the 14 food pantries we run for veterans each month.
