Woodstock Farm Sanctuary

For the past year we’ve had to be a lot more involved in managing cat friends who find their way onto our Sanctuary grounds. Although we don’t take in permanent cat or dog residents, we know spaying and neutering is crucial to ensuring that the stray population doesn’t explode in the area. Two cats can be responsible for the birth hundreds of other cats! Right now we have one cat awaiting spay surgery, and two who have recovered from surgery and are in foster. Several others have already found their forever homes but we continue to have the need to trap and then spay/neuter. Surgeries, food, litter, and vet checkups all add up.

Who’s in foster right now? Two tortie cats with extra toes! See if you can spy them in the photos — that’s a lot of beans on each paw!
✨Cheerwine is a polydactyl buff tortie adult awaiting spay surgery
✨ Dr. Enuf is an extremely friendly polydactyl tortie kitten who has just finished surgery recovery.
✨And of course adult gray tabby Faygo is still in foster, having made huge strides from a feral who was terrified of humans to a snuggly lap cat.

These cats can use your help in several ways: contribute here towards their care and our ongoing trapping and spay/neuter of feral cats, and please share so they can find homes! DM us to connect with their foster ❤️

We wanted to share this photo from ten years ago of these special goats— just enjoying the sun together in what looks like a freshly cleaned barn. Of this group, Fern (large, tan, and beautiful) and Benny (black, white, and fluffy) are still with us and are the elder statesmen of their herds now. But this is a lot of beloved and missed friends.

Seth, Sam, Clover, Albie, and David are forever still part of the Sanctuary and we still expect sometimes to see them in their pastures and barn. Maybe it’s the gloomy fall day or the coming holiday season, but we are feeling a bit nostalgic and melancholy and missing our old friends. It always feels extra weighty this time of year.

But how lucky we are to have known each of them. As many of you have ❤️

Three weeks ago today, Evie survived a bear attack at her home in Pennsylvania.
Even though she survived, she needed a sanctuary home and she needed it that day— as she was wounded, in shock, and the bear could come back.

We are so happy Evie’s here…and every day we fall a little bit more in love with her 💕

Bad news/ good news:

We aren’t even halfway to paying for Oakley’s surgical bill 🙁 BUT she’s doing great and went in for her post-surgical appointment💕🐓

We are so grateful to everyone who has been thinking about our sweet Oakley. After her appointment, she went back with her flock!

Looking for some cooler weather clothes with a message? We wrote about what’s in our little online store here— https://woodstocksanctuary.org/woodstock-blog/fall-2025-collection

Very exciting — we brought back the “hug turkeys / eat tofu” design for the fall! We don’t know if we will order again so move quickly 🥰

New arrivals as the seasons change

Jerry the piglet is growing fast and has been restless and, quite frankly, a bit of a handful. His friend and roommate Suzy isn’t large enough to be in the big pig barn yet, so they don’t have access to all the space, woods, and complex pig society that the other pigs do yet. Jerry was really enjoying rooting and digging up all the grasses in their yards, but…as you can see…he finished that project ✅

To try to keep Jerry occupied, we are trying many things! So far, he really is loving enrichment puzzles— like treats in a jug that he then has to flip and log piles with hidden prizes. We are going to have to keep getting creative. A busy piglet is a happy piglet, especially Mr. Smartie Pants High Energy Jerry❤️
