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 raising highland cattle and miniature donkeys a few years ago, it turned out I was hopelessly disorganized. Photos buried in my phone, health records in a drawer, breeding notes on my calendar, and finances in a spreadsheet I dreaded opening. I didn’t need a better system. I needed any system. So I built one.
Today Creatures runs my whole operation. Every animal gets a rich profile with its pedigree, health, genetics, and registrations. It also keeps the books, tracking the true cost and value of every animal in a way QuickBooks never could. And when you’re ready to sell, that profile becomes a marketplace listing in a single click. Potential buyers and fans can even book a visit right from the platform.
Honestly, what I’m most proud of is Stewardship. Rescues, sanctuaries, and conservation organizations can invite supporters to help care for an animal they love, even when they’ll never own it.
So great to have you here, Nathan Loney! I hope we'll get to meet some of your animals soon, too. I'd love to help you with a white glove setup if you're interested!
Elliott Garber I will be adding all of the animals and care plans so my zoo staff can have them at hand. This app is pretty good so far as we have many different species of animals. We will be adding them slowly as to make sure everyone is in and to keep detailed logs of each.
