Despite her tragic demise, her mother has�honoured her memory by making her dreams come true – an animal sanctuary in her name.

The 6-year-old girl, named Catherine Violet Hubbard, was the type of child who raised money via returnable bottles and cans to buy bones for dogs at the pound. She even had designed business cards for an imaginary animal shelter, listing herself as �caretaker.�

Now, her dream is becoming a reality. The state is preparing to transfer 34 acres of a former psychiatric facility to a foundation that is raising money to go to an animal sanctuary. This sanctuary will honor the life of Hubbard, who was one of 20 first-graders killed in the 2012 Sandyhook elementary school shooting.

The sanctuary will include a shelter and adoption center for cats and dogs, a refuge for farm and work animals, and a rescue and release program for injured, native wildlife. Plans also include a state-of-the-art veterinarian clinic and a welcome center for educational programs. The goal is to open the main building in Newtown in 2016.
