Its the moment everyone outside of Newberg has been waiting for! We signed a lease this week for a new location in Wilsonville that will be huge. Our new Wilsonville store will have everything we have in Newberg and even more… More Reptiles, More Fish, More Small Animals, More Birds, More Dog Culture, More Cat Adoptions, More Grooming… Look for …

1. Employees! For the first year we really didn’t have any employees other than a few hours a week to help us keep up our animals. Now we have a solid staff of people who run the store better than we ever did. Meet them. http://www.crittercabana.com/general_info/general_info_pages/meet_our_staff.html 2. Two Stores! Some people still don’t know we have a second store in …

Adam the rooster came in with the first batch of animals we received here at the store. He was a HUGE surprise, but in the spirit of Critter Cabana we gave him free run of the place for at least half a year before finding him a good home.

Critter Cabana has turned 5! It’s been a wild ride thus far. It’s hard to imagine when we started this business that Brittani was writing papers and studying for finals after coming home from the Cabana. We have come a long way and have our core group of loyal customers to thank for getting us this far. Thank you for …

I finally watched Into the Wild tonight and naturally it really got me thinking (hate it when movies do that). The main character, driven to escape “society” goes on a quest to find happiness.

While meandering through the World of Warcraft the other day I was chatting with a paladin by the name of Dariath, more commonly referred to as Dar. https://thelyrically.com/ Dar was complaining about one of his cats who meows/heowls constantly because she is in heat and it keeps him up all night. This led to a discussion of the many other …

For the longest time I’ve been getting emails that chronicle the life of Pua the tamandua. I am extremely impressed by the relationship that Pua and his owner have. Not only do they two go on many adventures and have a fantastic relationship, but its all available for us to read and watch. Pua & Tamanduagirl are living proof that …

Have you ever witnessed the first day of hunting season in a small Montana town? Me neither, until this weekend. While visiting some friends who have recently relocated to Libby, Montana, I had the great opportunity to witness an entire town of 2500 people wearing orange like it was green on St. Patty’s day. Which I don’t blame them for, …

Theoritically this is a blog about the animal integrated life, but it’s also written by a guy who likes to talk about himself sometimes so here we are. I’ve even thrown in a bonus 2 am picture of me smiling uncontrollably in my bathrobe while writing. Two events have spurred this post. The first event was during a high school …

As Scott mentioned in his blog, we dream daily about the many ways we can have animals be integrated as a part of our lives. I often ask customers what pets they have at home and am repeatedly baffled by the response I hear too often that they don’t have any because they live in an apartment. In my eyes …
