Hey Schoharie County, have you seen Ziggy? He went missing from Crommie Road in Carlisle sometime last month. He's a regular visitor to the sanctuary (he is a friend & neighbor's cat, not one of ours). Any information on his whereabouts would be more than appreciated!

I’m sure that many of you have noticed Bess’s giant ear tag dangling from her right ear. It’s quite hard to miss a giant, orange, seemingly uncomfortable hunk of plastic imposing on her radiant beauty.

We decided that it was finally time to remove it.
Why did it take us so long?
Well, we have heard many varying opinions on whether to remove it or not. Some that even scared us.

This giant, orange rectangle haunted me every time I would look into her beautiful eyes. I felt like I was failing her. Like I wasn’t seeing her for who she was.

Bess, you will never be a number. You are SOMEONE, not SOMETHING. The hole left behind may be a reminder of your dark past, but it says nothing about your beautiful future, sweet girl. ❤️🐷

And yes, Bingo got hers removed as well 🐷💪🏻💛

Lux departed from Earth this evening. 💔

We didn’t expect to travel home without her. It actually wasn’t even a thought in our minds. Her condition was much worse than we thought. She had multiple birth deformities, making surgery to repair the leg not viable. Amputation in a chicken so young would have likely led to a secondary infection, leading to more stress, more pain, and unnecessary suffering for Lux. She was in a lot of pain and we feel confident in our decision to let her go, under the guidance of a very knowledgeable avian specialist.

Lennie, who often gets stressed when separated from Lux, didn’t make a peep on the drive home. She knows. 🐥🐥🥺

Lux, I’m sorry you had to leave so soon. You were not “just a chicken”. You were so, so loved. I hope Moby met you up there. Rest easy, sweet girl 🐥💜
