The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary invites you to the 9th annual Catherine’s Butterfly Party – the renowned FREE FAMILY FESTIVAL WITH MEGA PET ADOPTION EVENT!!

Honoring the legacy and birthday of first grader, Catherine Violet Hubbard, who lost her life at the Sandy Hook tragedy, the annual event celebrates her love of all animals in an afternoon of kindness. Welcoming over 12,000 people every year, this incredible festival brings smiles, purrs and tail wags to all! This year’s event takes place on Saturday, June 7 from 12-4pm at Fairfield Hills Campus in Newtown and includes:

  • Wildlife, farm animals, amphibian and reptile ambassador educators and k-9 demonstrations
  • 25+ animal rescue organizations featuring over 200 adoptable animals including dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, horses, rabbits & more!

The CVH Animal Sanctuary is committed to helping animals in need find the loving homes they deserve. Thanks to our sponsors, Catherine’s Butterfly Party always remains FREE to participating rescues AND the public. This allows hard working animal welfare groups to focus on their animals while we take care of everything else.
