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’re healthy and trying our best to be as prepared as possible but still panicking a little. Praying we all get through this without too many catastrophes. Hope you and the family are doing well and wishing you the best withstanding the storm.
