The Eden Alternative has been dedicated to creating a life worth living for nearly two decades. So, what exactly makes a life worth living? The answer is subjective not scientific.

We are interested, however, in discovering what makes life worth living from all of you, our readers, our loyal fans. This summer we are launching the #lifeworthliving campaign in our search to find out what gives your lives meaning.

Carter
Carter is a four-year-old rescue with a heart of gold, but a mind of his own. Most importantly, he is an elder with fur. Carter has wise eyes that understand the human spirit and has a knack for sensing distress. He will sit patiently by your side, head in lap waiting patiently for you to feel better.

Valor’s name is a bit of a misnomer as he is a mamma’s boy and a scaredy cat. However, he earns his stripes when he see anything threatening his mommy.
