About Olivilla’s Founder, Danielle Olivieri
Danielle Olivieri has been a lover of animals since she was a young girl. Her childhood home was abound with pets of all sizes, from German Shepherds to Siamese cats. With a special ingrained passion for furry creatures, she first began rescuing animals almost 26 years ago, finding homes for six stray kittens that found their way onto her porch. Since then, she has continued her efforts in saving animals in need, providing them with food, medicine, and shelter. She is currently caring for eight rescued cats.
Despite Danielle’s constant heartbreak at witnessing the mistreated or abandoned animals in need of rescue, she knew that one person alone could not make enough of an impact. She began Olivilla Animal Rescue, Inc as a way to support the people more educated on the best tools and treatments. Danielle donates her own money and all Olivilla donations in the name of animals that have passed or have been mistreated as a way for her to memorialize the losses and show her passion for the act of rescuing.
Where Does the Money Go?
One of the main recipients of Olivilla donations is Sarama Rescue, a non-profit run by one woman, Laura Miller. She works tirelessly and cares so much about each of the animals rescued. With the rise of donations from Olivilla, Sarama has been able to save the lives of more and more animals every year, providing them with food, shelter, and much-needed affection.
“Danielle has been fundraising to help us the last few years. With the funds she raised we have not only been able to rescue more animals, we have also been able to take on more challenging medical and special needs cases and provide them with the high level of vet care they need and deserve. Danielle has been amazing, and we can’t thank her enough for all of her help. She is a true life saver for the animals.”
- Laura Miller, Owner, Sarama Animal Rescue
In addition to Sarama Rescue, Olivilla donations go to similar small independent charities and rescues that work locally in the Philadelphia area and need all the help they can get in order to support the animals they rescue and care for.
In 2020 it was reported by PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) that there were 11,000 animals entering shelters within the city.
About Olivilla Animal Rescue, Inc
Choosing Charities with Heart
Olivilla Rescue believes in helping those that need it most. Started in 2015, Oivilla is a non-profit organization that works as the middleman for rescue donations and ensures that the money will be used directly for the cause, as opposed to donations made to larger organizations. The donations Olivilla receives are donated to small local organizations that care for the animals personally, many of which help them get adopted in order to not be placed in shelters, which often struggle with a high rate of euthanasia.
Helping the Everyday Rescuer
Olivilla also works to support individual pet owners and rescuers who struggle to financially provide for their animals, helping to pay for vet visits and meals. By donating to Olivilla, you are not only helping small independent shelters and rescues that work tirelessly for the cause, but you are also potentially saving the lives of animals in need.
"Since its inception in 2015, Olivilla has donated over $40,000 to local rescue shelters and organizations. And all donations have been from private donors."
