🐓🏟️🏈Matilda and Gertrude are well aware today is

They are hoping you will enjoy a Super Bowl experience and above all…

…please please please don’t eat the wings of their fellow chickens! (An average of 1.4 BILLION will be consumed today!🤮) Start a new tradition of enjoying plant based treats that don’t involve !

It’s and cruel to eat chicken wings. Whoever thought up eating chickens at all? Chickens are awesome, smart, sensitive creatures.

A study in contrast.

Our loved and protected Isabella at LFAS.❤️She was saved from the beef industry and will live a happy natural lifespan.

The cows in the distance are owned by a beef rancher who shares a fence with our sanctuary. Their cows WILL NOT LIVE long lives.😢

Those cows will go to SLAUGHTER 💔

Please DON’T SUPPORT the beef industry. It is mired in animal cruelty and one of the leading causes of the and

Gentle Harmony wants you to know most wool sheep end up in slaughterhouses.😢Unless wool sheep are rescued (like our sweet Harmony) they don’t live out their natural lifespans in some idyllic place. It’s a myth to believe wool is a cruelty-free product.

Harmony wants to remind you not to buy wool products. It’s a very CRUEL industry and she is super glad she escaped her fate.

We love you Harmony! You are safe for life!💚🐑💚

❤️🐈‍⬛😁It’s me! Toad! Checking in with all y’all to make sure you are keeping your cats safe…especially during emergencies.

I feel so sad for all of the outdoor cats and feral kitties who were killed, injured or lost in the horrific LA wildfires. It’s so important for cats to live indoors. Besides keeping us safe from predators like coyotes…and getting hit by cars…if the need to evacuate ever arises (fires, earthquakes, tornadoes etc.) we can easily go in crates to evacuate with our families.🙏

I’m very lucky. My family has an outdoor enclosed “catio” aka ‘Pet Promenade’ for me and my🐈and🐕family members. We can get out in the sunshine, and dig in the dirt, because we have access to our own pet door. That makes me happy because I get to choose to be inside or outside…but I’m always safe!👏👏

I have another wish…ALWAYS spay and neuter your cats and dogs. Letting companion animals breed is one of the big reasons so many cats and dogs are waiting and waiting and waiting in shelters. Until finally…their time runs out.😢

Here are a few photos my Mom took of me. Sometimes dignified, sometimes goofy, kissing Froggy and napping with Hana. I love my life because I am safe and adored. I wish every cat in the whole world could be so lucky!🏡😻❤️

🐑🐮🐮Interspecies friendship is a beautiful thing. We can learn a lot from other species. When they feel loved and safe they don’t get competitive with each other. Their needs are being met so they are happy and calm.

They don’t care about size or color or religion or education. They don’t care how much money you have or what kind of neighborhood you grew up in. If you are nice to them they are nice to you. Simple. Easy.

I feel at peace when I am around rescued animals. They don’t lie. They don’t have agendas. They are pure love.

🏡🐖💗Isa is so happy to be home! She is re-exploring all of her paddocks and “bedrooms!”

If you are seeing this post can you please do us a favor and like, comment, and share our posts and donating ALWAYS helps! It benefits our animals so much to get a lot of activity on social media but it seems like most animal sanctuaries are not getting seen as much lately.😢Thanks!

🥚🍳Eggs. Lately there is so much talk about eggs.

Matilda wants to talk about why there is a shortage of eggs. A shortage of a product (such as eggs) occurs when DEMAND for that product is GREATER than the quantity supplied.

So why is there a shortage of eggs? Because MILLIONS of hens in factory farms have been brutally put to death when the Avian Bird Flu is found in a facility. This deadly disease spreads rapidly through crowded and filthy egg factory farms. Once a hen is infected the “farmers” kill ALL of the hens.😢(And then they collect insurance on those defenseless, innocent lives😡)

Matilda’s recommendation: Start eating🌱PLANT BASED🌱egg substitutes because chicken eggs are going to get more expensive and will probably become unavailable. Matilda is very smart. She sees where this is going and why.

Note: Matilda was a factory farm egg hen who was saved in a big legal rescue. She has been loved and living in safety at LFAS for many years.

🏥🐷🥺Isa is still at UCDavis Vet Hospital. The vet team is doing everything they can for Isa. We are hoping she doesn’t need surgery but she may have an impaction in her GI tract.

Isa’s hospital bill is already at least $1400. Please donate for our sweet girl. We are hoping she will be coming home soon and will not need surgery. Anesthesia for pigs is very risky…as is surgery.🥺

Everyone at LFAS misses Isa…especially her best friends Fiona (gray Yucatán) and Gus (white and black pot belly)❤️🐖❤️🐖❤️🐖❤️Isa is a beloved member of our family!

Please share and donate and send Isa lots of love and positive thoughts!💗🐷💗

🔥😿🏠Our dear little Froggy is concerned about all of the cats and dogs (and every animal) who are scared, possibly injured, and alone because of the catastrophic LA fires.

We thank every firefighter, first responder, organization and individual risking their own lives and safety to find and help animals in need.

We especially want to thank our long-time friends at the amazing and wonderful Best Friends Animal Society.

Thank you and for mobilizing and working tirelessly to help animals injured and/or displaced in these fires. You stepped up from Day One to get dogs and cats out of the Southern California shelters and into foster homes or to your sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. Your commitment is superhuman and we can all learn from your admirable example.

BFAS has been the “gold standard” for animal rescue, spay/neuter programs, advocacy, education, and sharing of resources for decades. They “lead by example” and we have seen this first hand for 25 years.

Every single animal deserves to be saved and we appreciate every person and organization working toward that goal. Froggy also says “Thank You!”❤️🐈❤️

💚🐑🏠The crisis created by the wildfires in LA is understandably capturing world attention. We are thrilled to see so many people donating and volunteering.

But our day to day work at LFAS, saving animals and giving them lifetime care, is very expensive.

Can you donate $5 to LFAS monthly or can you become a Monthly Member for as little as $10 per month? On-line monthly recurring donations are the lifeblood of animal sanctuaries.

Our goal is to gain at least 10 new members per month in 2025. Linktree in bio or lovingfarm.org/membership (you can opt out at any time) or lovingfarm.org/donate.

Featured Family Member: Kismet is a big goofy floof. He has a huge personality and an appetite to match! Kismet is a unique individual who was saved from slaughter in the FFA program. And Kismet asks all y’all not to buy wool. He is a wool sheep and they usually end up in slaughterhouses!

Because Central and Southern California have gotten almost no rain this winter crisis Kismet and all of his LFAS friends are eating hay we are buying from feed stores…instead of grass we would grow on property. We feed one $25 bale of hay per day. That’s at least $750 per month…JUST FOR HAY!

Note: When we get “normal” rain this is an unnecessary expense. Please donate!

🙏🔥❤️To anyone being hard on people who live in LA because they’re all “rich” let me tell you my experience growing up in LA…

I grew up in a middle class suburb. We knew everyone on our street and parents worked hard to provide for their families. All of the kids I knew went to public schools and until high school we walked to school. The high school was further away so then our mothers took turns carpooling us.

My grandparents, my Dad’s parents, had immigrated from Sweden. Back then Swedes were very discriminated against so my grandparents moved to California where they were more accepted. No surprise!

My grandparents started a used car lot and a small almond farm in a town in Northern California. My Dad and his brother put themselves through Stanford University and both became aircraft engineers. That’s how we ended up in LA. There were jobs for engineers.

To anyone bashing LA and California in general or on social media I say…then don’t eat the fruits and vegetables we grow. Don’t watch the movies or TV shows created in California. And certainly refrain from using any technology developed here for example stop using iPhones and Apple computers. And don’t listen to any music created or produced in California. The list goes on and on…

California has its problems and not everyone here is a “good” person. But it’s the most unique and forgiving place I’ve ever lived. People have come to California from all over the world because they had a dream and sometimes those dreams came true.

Please be kind to California. We are going through a crisis and we will be forever changed because of it. Hopefully for the better…but right now we are pretty beaten down.😢

😢January is “normally” when we get rain in California but we have gotten almost NO RAIN this winter. So the ground and vegetation are dry instead of wet.

Add to that winds of up to 100 miles per hour and it’s the “perfect” condition for wildfires.

So as some people are pointing fingers, and displaying an appalling lack of empathy for our beautiful state and our human and non-human (domestic and wild animals) residents, perhaps it’s time to look inward instead.

Supporting the MASSIVE ANIMAL AG industry (by eating meat, dairy, and eggs) is a MAJOR CAUSE of the climate crisis. Please open your heart and wrap your minds around an industry slaughtering BILLIONS of innocent animals every year.

So when fingers are pointed at as the cause of climate change consider the fact that Animal Agriculture is AT LEAST half of the cause. It is a huge, filthy industry that overuses land and water and grows food to feed animals instead of growing🌱plant-based🌱food to feed people.

The environmental destruction and animal suffering caused by the corporations breeding, torturing and slaughtering innocent animals are far reaching and multi layered. Stop making people in charge of these corporations wealthy!

Note: Most Californians work hard and most of us appreciate what we have. Yes, California has celebrities and movie stars and dreamers and wealthy and not wealthy residents. But ALL Californians, human and non-human, have feelings and families, and hopes and dreams. Please think good thoughts for us during this crisis.🔥

🔥🐶❤️We can’t stop thinking about ALL of the victims of the horrific fires in Southern California. We want to help but we are about 200 miles away.

But Joey is asking us to help a dog (in a SoCal shelter) who is healthy and close to her age and size. Joey is around 2 1/2 to 3 years old and 30 pounds.

If any SoCal shelters have a dog in need of a forever home who could be a best friend to our super friendly Joey please contact us. Maybe we could free up a shelter space for another dog in need.

DM us or

On a personal note:🏠I was born and raised in LA County. I am heartbroken by the devastation of a part of California I love so much. We are sending love to everyone of EVERY species impacted by these apocalyptic fires.💔🔥😢

🌎💨🔥We feel very fortunate to be located about 200 miles north of Los Angeles. The apocalyptic wildfires happening right now in and near LA are fueled by incredible winds and are creating great loss and tragedy in Southern California.

The photo on this LFAS post is our rescued dairy cow, Angelica, in the early morning fog here in Paso Robles. Angelica and all 55 of our animals are safe. We are feeling very very lucky.

Note: Please know the dramatic wildfires, and weather events, happening all over the world are tied into the climate crisis and it’s only going to get worse. Please be open to information and suggestions on how you can make choices in your lives that can make a positive difference.

Everyone here at LFAS in Paso Robles is holding the victims of the SoCal fires in our hearts and minds. These fires are hurting not only people. Companion animals, farmed animals, and wild animals are also terrified and trying to find safety.

Please contact us if we can help you.

🌅🐓🏠Good morning from a whole bunch of happy feathered friends. Seeing our rescued chickens joyfully greet a new day always makes me smile.🌞

Oddly…most people seem to think of chickens as “food” but I don’t eat chickens for the same reasons I don’t eat dogs and cats.🐓🐕🐈They are all living, breathing, intelligent, sensitive, loving and emotional beings. Why would I eat any of them? That would be wrong and weird.🤮
