The animals are recovering from a terrifying experience caused by my neighbor. Illegal fireworks exploding in the air caused the sheep and goats to run around looking for safety while the pigs were trying to hide around my legs. Our handicapped goat Leilah was huddled in the corner of her stall shaking. And Tucker horse stood in the pasture snorting, the whites of his eyes showing, too afraid to move. I'm normally a quiet person and people tell me I have a soft voice. But I found my voice tonight. My neighbors heard me screaming at them to stop before they caused injury to the animals. I am the advocate for these sweet souls who didn't deserve this horrendous experience! Thank you to the Clarke County Sherrif's Office for the quick response to my call.

Watch the video to the end to see the fear in their eyes.

2025 may be the Chinese Year of the Snake, but at Serenity Farm Virginia, every year honors the snake. These often-misunderstood creatures play a vital role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem. They naturally control rodent populations and contribute to the overall health of the environment. They deserve our respect and our protection as essential members of the natural world.

Would you like to sponsor a kitty at Serenity Farm Virginia? 🐾

Our sanctuary is a forever home to 12 amazing cats, each with a unique story and a special place in our hearts. From tiny bottle babies like Opossum and Mouse, who were rescued after being abandoned by their mother, to Little Bear, found all alone on the road at just a few weeks old… and Tao, a beautiful Siamese who was so deeply traumatized he hid from us for over a year before finally learning to trust.

These beloved kitties now live in peace and safety in our cozy cattery, receiving the love, care, and veterinary support they need to thrive.

For just $20/month, you can sponsor one of our resident cats and help provide them with food, medical care, and all the comforts they deserve.

Sponsorship makes a meaningful difference—and we’re so grateful to our current kitty sponsors: Brian M, Rachel D, and Eileen K. Thank you for your kindness and support!

Together, we can continue to give these sweet souls the love and care they need to live their best lives. 🐱💕
