Our Vision
Friends become family, their unconditional love and loyalty bring them together in harmony, changing the world together.
Carol Linnee’s Critters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of both children and animals.
Founded in August 2022 and based in Metro Detroit, we bring hope and healing through clothing donations and animal-assisted therapy programs for children in need at local hospitals.
Our organization creates a lasting impact by supporting children’s hospitals, humane societies, and community programs.
We provide new clothing to children’s hospitals across metro Detroit, ensuring that every child has something clean, comfortable, and dignified to wear. In addition, through our animal-assisted therapy program, we coordinate visits from certified therapy animals to bring comfort and joy to young patients during their hospital stays. Each child also receives a stuffed animal critter as a symbol of our care, love, and support.
​
But our mission doesn’t stop with children—we also strive to help animals in need. We are committed to donating supplies to humane societies, ensuring that fur babies receive warmth, love, and comfort as they heal from trauma and wait for their forever homes.
​
Together, with your help, we can make a real difference in the lives of these children and animals.​​​​

Let's talk about the amazing person behind Carol Linnee's Critters!
Carol Linnee's love for animals started at a young age. From rescuing turtles with her dad to working in animal hospitals while studying Biology at Grand Valley State University, animals have always been her passion.
What really sparked her inspiration was seeing how therapy animals can positively impact children. She dreamed of making that impact a reality by bringing animals into the lives of children in need.
Carol Linnee understands firsthand the challenges of going through tough times. She's overcome her own traumas and wants to show children, especially those who've been through similar experiences, that they're not alone. They're loved, valued, and supported every step of the way. That's why she created Carol Linnee's Critters.
With her eight adorable critters, Carol Linnee aims to touch the hearts of many children and adults alike. She's excited about the joy and comfort they'll bring to those who need it most!
Some well loved, some misunderstood, all friends with differences.
