Mel is here to say a huge thank you to RE/MAX East Coast Elite Realty for their generous $1,000 donation to our hay fund!

Thanks to your support, we've now covered 81% of this year's hay costs—meaning the residents are happily munching away, and the financial commitment is feeling much lighter on the sanctuary’s shoulders. 😊

We couldn’t have come this far without you. At Lily’s Place, every step forward is made possible by the kindness and generosity of people just like you. 💖 Thank you for being part of our journey.

💞Bea & Milhouse’s Friendship

Two goats. Two rescues. One sanctuary.

In March 2024, Bea and Milhouse both found their way to us. Their backstories, different: Bea was seized in a cruelty case, while Milhouse came from a separate rescue. But here, their stories aligned.

They began to grow close over time. Currently sharing a stall at night, and often found side by side during the day, grazing, resting, grooming, or simply keeping each other company. Their bond is heartwarming — a friendship built on trust, time, and the safety of sanctuary.

Bea and Milhouse remind us that healing isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, too.
As Bea prepares for her hernia surgery, Milhouse stays close. In fact, Milhouse will be joining Bea on her trip to PEI, sticking closer to her like he always does, providing emotional support to Bea as she undergoes and heals from surgery. The pair will travel together and stay in the same accommodations at AVC until Bea can return home.

We can’t send Bea to AVC to have the hernia that’s threatening to close (pinching off vital internal structures), without your support. Finding the funds for medical emergencies isn’t easy, so if you're able to donate, it’s greatly appreciated:

A very happy birthday to our co-founder, board president, and my spouse and best friend, Tim!

This year has been a season marked by medical leave from most of his sanctuary duties, multiple surgeries, and a long recovery still ahead; however, he continues to be there for the animals.

While unable to do the heavy lifting, Tim still led the team on multiple rescues, including bringing Josie, Bob, Emma, and Penelope home from near and far across Atlantic Canada. He also remains our board president and raised funds for Lily’s Place and three other charities through his Keys 4 Kindness initiative.

The challenges of the last year have been almost surmountable in their size and scope - the only thing bigger has been Tim’s heart (and I don’t just mean his aorta that was reconstructed)! No matter what life throws at him, his compassion will be something that remains.

Tim, you’re a kind, thoughtful, and brilliant soul who is a force for good in the world. We see how the injustices of the world weigh heavily on you, and you show us just how much strength is required to never lose sight of what truly matters.

Thank you for showing all of us how to move through the world in a gentle yet profound way that makes the world a better place, starting with those around you.

Although you think of yourself last, I hope you do something for yourself today - you've earned it!

Happy Birthday, Tim!

🐣 What Happens to Roosters When Spring Chicks Grow Up

This time of year, we receive requests to take in multiple roosters every few days. Many come from people who once cared for them as chicks, now threatening to have them “processed” if we can’t help. 💔

This pattern is a result of the backyard chicken industry. Each spring, chicks are sold to people hoping for eggs from their own hens. But since most chicks are sold as unsexed, many buyers unknowingly bring home roosters, with no intention of caring for them.

Once grown, these roosters, who don’t lay eggs and may crow, are suddenly unwanted. With farm animal sanctuaries at capacity, many are killed, or abandoned in the woods. Sadly, domestic roosters can’t survive in the wild, and the dumped birds are quickly killed by predators, starve, or freeze to death.

💔 This is a major animal welfare crisis happening in communities everywhere, and it’s entirely preventable.

Roosters are not “problem animals”, they are individuals with strong instincts, social structures, and needs that are often misunderstood. The issue isn’t roosters, but the human-created circumstances that force them into unnatural environments.

Many sanctuaries find that roosters thrive best in rooster-only flocks, where they live with other roosters once properly introduced.

💛 How You Can Help
🐣 Don’t buy chicks or chickens.�🥚 Try egg-free alternatives (tofu scrambles in place of cooked eggs, soaked flaxseed / banana / applesauce in place of eggs in baking).�🐔 Learn about rooster care… and never get chicks unless you can care for roosters too!�🏡 Support sanctuaries that rescue roosters.�📣 Share this message to raise awareness for the hidden victims of the backyard egg industry.

The rooster featured in this post is Mr Blue! A roo who was rescued in 2023 and still lives happily at Lily’s Place. If this is your first time meeting him, you’ll find his rescue story here:

📣Help Bea — Her Fight Isn’t Over Yet

Beatrice is a kind soul who’s been through more than any animal should ever have to go through. She was seized alongside Merlin, Mel, and Kate in a heartbreaking cruelty case. The accused faces charges under both the SPCA Act and the Criminal Code of Canada for failing to provide food, water, shelter, or care.

Bea’s day in court is coming this November. But right now, she’s facing a different kind of battle, one for her health.

🐾 Her Injury: Bea has had a hernia on her side since arriving in our care. It was manageable at first, but in August it began to worsen. With the help of the Sussex vet office, we tried everything to encourage it back into place — including wrapping her body to hold the tissue in. But it’s not enough.

🏥 Her Surgery: Bea is scheduled for surgery in November at AVC to repair the hernia. The procedure involves pushing the bulging tissue back into place and stitching the weakened area. In more severe cases, a mesh is needed to reinforce the repair (it’s also double the cost) — and Bea is likely to need this second option.

💚 How You Can Help: This surgery is essential for Bea’s comfort, safety, and future. We’re raising funds to cover her pricey medical costs and give her the healing she deserves. We estimate needing approximately $2000 to cover the surgery. Every donation helps us move one step closer to allowing Bea to leave her past in the past.

Seeking care and safety, Levi was a gentle, sweet soul who won us over within the first minute of meeting her. You couldn't help but feel at peace around Levi's calm, easygoing energy.

She was kind, curious, and trusting, never giving up on humans, despite having every reason to before her rescue. In fact, she loved spending quiet time with people, often seeking a lap to nap in, which surprised volunteers, vets, and visitors alike. She even inspired a few to give up eating animals with her "lap cat" habit!

In November 2022, it was with profound sadness that we announced the passing of Levi, the sweetest, most gentle soul to ever walk this earth.

Under our care for slightly less than a year, Levi left an indelible mark on our hearts, and the hearts of everyone lucky enough to have met her. ⁣

Unfortunately, Levi’s tired little heart just couldn’t keep up with the body that humans designed for their own interests, not Levi’s, but still managed to grace this earth for over four years. ⁣

If you have our 2025 calendar, you know that Levi is this month’s featured resident, with sponsorship for the month of October provided by one of Levi’s friends and Starr in memory of Nanny (Lily).
⁣
In Levi’s sweet and gentle way, she loved quiet cuddle time even more than she loved berries (and that’s saying a lot). In her memory, take a page out of Levi’s guide to life and spend time with a close friend, hug someone you love, and live compassionately. Life is too short not to.

We’re just as excited as you to finally hang this up! If you haven’t already, order your calendar now at lilysplace.ca/2026! Guess which month Edith is featured in 🐓🤍
