Support a Snoot
Your generosity gives our rescued snakes a second chance.
Why Your Donation Matters
Cuddles Café is dedicated to providing a safe haven for rescued snakes while they wait for their forever homes. Your generous contribution goes directly toward the care of our animals and our educational mission. Your donation helps fund:
Veterinary Care: Ensuring every rescued snake receives a full health check-up and any necessary medical treatment from our trusted exotic vets.
Quality Nutrition: Providing high-quality food for all our residents.
Enriching Habitats: Building and maintaining our "Coil Condos"—the lush, naturalistic vivariums that serve as a safe and stimulating environment for our snakes and our customers.
Rescue Operations: Funding our ability to take in surrenders and provide a safe, two-week quarantine period to ensure the health of all our animals.
A donation of any amount helps us continue our work. Recurring monthly donations provide the steady, reliable support we need for ongoing costs. Thank you for being part of our community.
Sponsor a Snake
For those who are unable to adopt but want to form a special bond, our sponsorship program is the perfect choice. Your monthly donation is tied to a specific resident and covers their food, toy, and vet bills until they find their forever home.
Ready to become a sponsor? It's simple:
Find Your Friend: First, head over to our "Our Snakes" page to meet all of our amazing residents. Read their stories and find the special "noodle" that steals your heart.
Click to Sponsor: On that snake's individual profile page, you will find their unique sponsorship goal and a "[Sponsor Me]" button. Just click that button to start the direct sponsorship process.
As a thank you for your support, all Cuddles Café sponsors receive:
A personalized, digital and/or physical sponsorship certificate with a photo of your sponsored snake.
Exclusive quarterly email updates on your snake's progress, photos, milestones, and well-being.
Your name featured on our website as the official sponsor of that resident (with your permission).
Giving FAQs
-
Cuddles Café is a mission-driven Limited Liability Company (LLC), not a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. Therefore, while we are incredibly grateful for your support, your generous contributions are considered personal gifts to help us fund our rescue mission and are not tax-deductible.

A general donation is a one-time or recurring gift that supports the overall operational costs of our rescue efforts, from vet bills to habitat maintenance.
