I’m Elliott, a veterinarian and farmer in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I’m also a husband, father of five, and Army officer who just can’t stop thinking about how to make life and work better for people like me who love animals.
When I started buying highland cattle and miniature donkeys a few years ago, I honestly couldn’t believe there wasn’t already a modern, secure online marketplace for live animals. So I started building Creatures to solve my own problems, creating a transparent community for buying and selling, while also making it fun and easy to keep up with health, breeding, registrations, and all the other records in one place.
It’s already been a game‑changer for me to have every photo, video, and record in a single profile for each animal. Now I can just copy a link and send it to a potential buyer, another vet, or a friend without having to dig through my photos or track down records every time.
My crazy hope is that Creatures can be the online home for every known and loved animal around the world. I’m glad you’re here!
We bought our first Highland cows from Elliot in the spring of 2024. It was a great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from him again. He is very knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge. Both girls have since had beautiful babies of their own. We couldn’t be happier with the our beautiful ladies and how smoothly the transaction took place.
Great to have you here on Creatures, Lynda Carrier! Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions as you begin adding and managing your animals.
Amber Sapp I totally understand that! It took me a few weeks to get all my ow animals added here, but now that they are, I find it a lot more fun and easy to regularly update their profiles with photos, videos, and records.
