Soft Landing Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc.

Soft Landing Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc. We are a 501c3 animal rescue taking in reptiles, cats, mini horses, and outdoor feathered friends. We rescue cats, reptiles, miniature horses and mini donkeys.

We are a 501c3 nonprofit small animal rescue who focuses on helping neglected, abused, sick, injured animals; rehabilitating them, and finding them approved homes. We educate the public on the importance of TNR, allowing sufficient time for the new pet to settle in to new surroundings, and educating others on how to socialize unsocialized cats. We provide educational days with our rescued reptiles

, farm days to brighten up residents in nursing homes. We travel all over PA, NY, Nj, Ohio to rescue animals in need. We also help to transport rescues to other rescue facilities, or new homes.

Happy adoption day !!! Both of these sweet cats desperately needed a quiet home to call their own. While we will miss George’s head bumps, we know he will be much happier in a less chaotic home. And little miss senior kitty, my heart couldn’t be happier for her!! She was so overwhelmed in a rescue setting. We are so thankful Deborah reached out to give her a forever home, and we were able to place her as quick as we did. 💕

So just a little bit ago I received an update on the senior kitty. She is doing good. She has been exploring and found the back of the sofa where she can see out the window. She gets to watch deer roaming in the backyard and birds. She has a wonderful, quiet, loving home where she will get to live out the remainder of her life (I have no doubt that she will settle in just fine. If not, she can come back to us).

This morning we headed out to Hamburg, PA to meet an adopter for George ( the orange tabby). While there, we picked up Frankie, the sulcata, and Charlie, the beautiful corn snake. We then headed to Harrisburg where we met Deborah to take the senior kitty home as a long term foster I am so happy for these two cats!! They both have wonderful homes.
The Sulcata and corn snake are not for adoption at this time.

I’m so sad to say that little Sq**rt didn’t make it. I apologized to her when I first brought her home for humans failing her. And I apologized to her again tonight when I got home and found her. I was planning to call my vet in the morning to have her humanely euthanized because she just wasn’t getting any better. I appreciate all who cheered her on. I put my heart out there to help her but help came too late. For those who know reptiles, they can go downhill fast.

Please, if you’re going to buy a tortoise, please do your research. Signs and symptoms. Why are their eyes watering ? Why are they acting slow? Why are their eyes puffy. Puffy eyes are an indication of an upper respiratory infection that should NOT be let go for days or weeks on end.
If you don’t know what is wrong, reach out to someone who has reptiles. There are plenty of tortoise pages on FB Ask someone. Better yet, get them to a vet. If you cannot afford a vet then surrender them to a reptile rescue ASAP. Don’t wait. This could have possibly been prevented.
I’m so sorry. I did the best I could.

Why are horses a release for people?

Horses are a release for people because they strip life back to its simplest, most honest form.
In a world full of noise, emails, deadlines, expectations, horses remind us that real communication isn’t about words. It’s about presence. It’s about energy, intention, awareness.

When you’re with a horse, your words mean nothing, but your actions, your body language, your energy? That’s everything. You can’t fake confidence with a horse. You can’t lie with your posture. You can’t manipulate with charm or excuses. Horses reflect back exactly who you are in that moment, your fear, your calm, your frustration, your peace.

That’s why working with horses is 90% self-reflection. They force you to get quiet. To slow down. To pay attention not only to them, but to yourself. Your breathing, your posture, your thoughts. They draw you out of your head and into your body, into the present.

It takes us back to a time when survival, connection, and trust weren’t built on promises or conversations. They were built on consistency, energy, and respect. Horses remind us how to just be, without the layers of complication life piles on.

That’s why so many people find healing with them. They don’t care about your job, your past, your social status. They care about your energy in this moment, and nothing feels more freeing than being seen for your truest self, without judgment, without words.

UPDATE: We have decided on a new name for this sweet girl. Her name is now Millie (meaning gentle strength) I like it! We are working on short pets on the head and stopping before she feels the need to bite. She’s very talkative when she wants food, and when she’s spoken softly to. She doesn’t trust people. She hunkers down like she’s going to be hit. That will not happen here.

I’m looking for a new name for this cat in an attempt to give her a fresh start. We can either use a sassy name to fit her personality at this time, or we can use reverse psychology and come up with a sweet name. Maybe a sweet name would be nice ?? She is very unpredictable with her bites. Tonight was the first that she got me.
She is very treat motivated but can be deceptive.

I’m happy to say that if I can get this little girl vaccinated at a rabies clinic this weekend, she will be headed to a wonderful quiet home on Monday. She is the sweetest little soul. And deserves nothing less than being spoiled rotten.

Hope says thank you for your donations !!! He’s ready for a cat nap.
