February Star Sanctuary rescues, rehabilitates and provides a refuge cats and horses in need.

The mission of February Star Sanctuary is to rescue, rehabilitate and provide a permanent refuge to cats and horses in need. We help the community through outreach programs to help children develop compassion for rescue animals at a early age. Teaching our children to respect and protect even the smallest among us is one of the most important life lessons we can pass on. Children and animals are t

he most vulnerable members of society, and abuse to both groups is on the rise. Our goals at the Sanctuary are to give the unwanted a home and to teach children compassion. We aim to build a generation of animal advocates one child at a time.

There's only 1 day left to pick the perfect ... will you give the gift of joy? 😃🎁 Do so by gifting with horse sponsorship! Your gift recipient will get to interact with an available horse of their choice (or you can surprise them with a pick). 🐴 Sponsors get to feed, groom, hold for farrier and go riding (if the horse is rideable). 🐎 Some of our fan favorite horses are sponsorsable and they're great at giving hugs and kisses. 🥰 If you've already sponsored a horse or are looking for another great gift for an animal lover, make a tax deductible to February Star Sanctuary in their name. ⬇️

Also, be sure to keep up care of your horse’s hooves and provide blankets for warmth for both horses and cats. This can be a magical time of year, let’s make sure it’s also a safe one for our beloved animals. ⛄️ If you have pictures of a horse or cat you adopted from our sanctuary that’s enjoying being cozy, share a pic in the comments below! ⬇️ #horsesanctuary #horserescue #horses #adoptahorse #horseadoption #cats #catsanctuary #catrescue #adoptacat #catadoption
