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. I wanted a transparent community for buying and selling, paired with a fun, easy way to keep up with health, breeding, and registrations 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. Create a profile for one of your animals to see how it works. It’s free and should take less than a minute.
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!
Great to have you here, Marina Kistler! Hope we’ll get to meet some of your animals soon, too. We actually have a new feature rolling out soon to make it easy for people to adopt or sponsor animals for organizations like yours.
