Guys, donations are still very much needed! Please continue to donate! I receive updates from Gary every few days! We still have a long way to go! Every dollars counts!!! I appreciate all your help with this, Truly! If it weren’t for Gary, Story and her babies wouldn’t have had a chance and I’d really, really like to help him recover from such a huge expense to his rescue!

Story is such a special girl and is being the BEST mom. The babies have opened their eyes and are crawling all around now! I will take some pics and post this week!

When it’s Spring break and the daycare has been hit by the plague, it’s bring your kids to work day! Piper our youngest really enjoys coming with us. Our son, not so much. Today she got to witness a couple babies born!

Just as I showed up to trim, momma goat had started laboring. When I got over to the barn the baby was presenting breach 😳 so I helped deliver the baby. For learning purposes, when ever babies are coming out breach you should pull. As soon as that umbilical cord snaps the babies take a breath while their head is usually still inside. This can have disastrous consequences.

Baby (girl) was just fine and a little boy followed just after with a normal presentation!

Happy birthday babies!

Introducing the kittens. From what I can tell this early on, we have 2 girls and a boy. They are doing well. Eating, sleeping, and hollering 😏 Mama Story is being a great mom and i think shes feeling better now as she is eating and drinking much more regularly than she was. Please continue to send this little fam all the well wishes 🙏🏻 Please continue to donate! We still have quite a way to go to even come close to covering her surgery 🫣.

A few posts down is Story’s story if this is the first time you’re seeing this. All information to donate is also on that post. Any amount, big or small, is greatly appreciated.

4 weeks ago I reluctantly took on a pregnant mama barn cat that was facing a troubling fate. I couldnt let that happen. She is an amazingly sweet cat! I have really enjoyed getting to know and love her these last few weeks and was looking forward to seeing her babies, as were my children.

My plan was to foster her and these kittens until she and her babies were ready to be vetted and rehomed. I have been watching her close these last few weeks and Thursday she started showing signs she was going to deliver soon. Days passed and she just wasnt progressing normally. This morning it was clear something was wrong, so I loaded her up and brought her to the ER Vet.

Unfortunately, she will not be able to deliver these babies on her own 😢 and all but 1 baby appear to be deceased. She is currently in surgery now to save her and the one remaining life inside her.

I’m so thankful for Hatton agreeing to cover this procedure and I would really, really appreciate it if you all could donate to help cover this expense and their unwavering commitment to rescue and saving lives. I know it is a lot to ask. Especially in these trying times. But please, if you can spare any amount we would be so thankful. If it weren’t for Hatton I’m not sure what I would have done or what would have happened to Story.
Hatton has stepped up to take on quite a few animals I have come across in my travels. To date they have given a safe landing space and life saving veterinary care to : 3 goats, 3 ducks, 1 dog, 1 sheep and now Story. I am so beyond grateful for them🙏🏻

Thank you all.

Had to share. I’ve seen a donkey react to their pig friend being trimmed but cows… it was so sweet how worried they were. Lucky for all involved Winston was the only one of the 5 trimmed at Rosies Farm Sanctuary that had a loud voice ❤️

Somewhere in my posted videos on here and TikTok, you can find the donkey hehawing for his pig sister being trimmed.
