About Us

At Sullivan Sanctuary of Maine, our mission is to welcome animals in crisis when other shelters cannot. We believe every animal deserves safety, dignity, and love—especially those too often overlooked.

We specialize in caring for special needs cats and disadvantaged animals, offering a nurturing space for those with health challenges or past trauma. Each resident is valued for the joy and companionship they bring.

More than a shelter, we are a community of advocates giving animals comfort, enrichment, and second chances—whether through adoption or lifelong sanctuary. At Sullivan Sanctuary, every life truly matters.

Reviews

out of 5 stars
I recently adopted a cat from Sullivan Sanctuary in Brunswick. I highly recommend this place for an adoption. The person I met with is very dedicated to every animal that she takes in. She also went above and beyond to make the adoption happen, followed up with me to make sure the cat and I were compatible, and was very responsive to my text messages/ phone calls.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ image
What makes Sullivan Sanctuary of Maine different from other shelters?

Unlike traditional shelters, we focus on animals that are often overlooked—especially special needs cats and disadvantaged animals. We also provide emergency care when other shelters are full, and offer a permanent sanctuary for those who cannot be adopted.

Can I adopt an animal from Sullivan Sanctuary of Maine?

Yes, some of our rescued animals are adoptable once they are healthy and ready for a new home. However, many with lifelong special needs remain with us as permanent residents, receiving ongoing care and love in our sanctuary.

How can I support the sanctuary?

You can help by donating, sponsoring an animal, volunteering, or spreading awareness of our mission. Every contribution—big or small—directly improves the lives of animals who might otherwise have nowhere to turn.
