We haven’t had a Toby post in a while!

He’s enjoying his muggy morning walk, following whatever scents he is picking up on.

The heat wave seems to have broken 🤞. We hope you have a great day!

Sylvie hopes you take a moment for yourself to cool off during this heat wave! Maybe take a mud bath or eat some frozen fruits and veggies.

There are only a few weeks during the year when we get to see Greta’s b***y spots 😍. Soon her coat will grow back in and cover up her cute tushie.

Timmy is enjoying the outdoors again!

The catio was out of commission for a few months due to the severe winds we get from winter to mid-spring…we need to figure out a way to secure it to the porch so it doesn’t blow around.

We got it moved back into position this past weekend, and yesterday Timmy was climbing the window, trying to figure out how to get into his play space! I got all of his decor put back in place this morning so he’s enjoying watching the lawn mower from the comfort of of his steps 🐈‍⬛

Henny did great at her vet visit today, and we got a sweet treat from since we were both good girls at the doctor 😊

Her crop has gone down a little over the past week, and it’s not *that bad*…which is good, but it still isn’t emptying all the way and we don’t really have an answer as to why. Nothing specific showed up on her X-rays that would indicate a definite obstruction, but she is developing abdominal fluid again 😞. This could be because of a blocked oviduct or a tumor, both unfortunately very common in these egg laying breeds whose bodies have been manipulated for human use.

Dr. Rhyne is also worried about Henny’s kidneys since she was dehydrated, and her last bloodwork showed an elevation in her kidney levels. Henny got some subQ fluids at her appointment, and we’re switching up her pain meds for something gentler on her kidneys.

I’m getting a small outside area ready for her so she can enjoy some fresh air. She will need constant supervision so she doesn’t eat all the grass (I’ve cut it really short) or her dirt bath - she still wants to eat all the things she shouldn’t, and just picks at the foods she should eat.

Henny was our first chicken ever, and she’s only 4 - not young, but certainly not old. Hopefully she will gain some weight back and stick around for a while 🧡

🩷Introducing Twyla🩷

This little lady showed up a few weeks ago looking for some snacks. We live in a rural area where the feral cat population seems endless…and it might just be, because cats can multiply quickly!

It seems Oliver has been giving our address out and inviting all of his friends over for meals. However she found us, we’re glad she’s here and will get her spayed so she doesn’t have to worry about babies. It’s hard enough to live the life of a feral cat - finding food and water, looking for shelter from the weather, hiding from predators; having to protect your babies adds an additional difficulty and we’re glad to take that stress off of her.

Oliver has been helping her feel safe and guarding her during meals when she shows up, and right now he’s hanging out and talking sweetly to her, hopefully telling her she’ll be ok.

Our friends at are helping us get her spayed, and will bring her right back here when she’s ready 🩷

Thank you to Carla and Ed for coming out to lend a hand today! They gave lots of love to the residents, helped adjust this wallow (the girls helped, too 😅), and helped clean out some of our overgrown flower beds. We’re so thankful for your support!

Henny is on day 2 in the basement because her crop hasn’t emptied. We’ve gotten a few 💩 but not enough. She is getting exercise while exploring the basement several times per day, but requires very close monitoring because she likes to eat wood, cardboard, drywall…pretty much anything you’d find in an unfinished basement that is used as a storage space. She’s very feisty and bright, so that’s a positive sign!

Send her lots of 💩 thoughts!

Timmy is judging me for what I choose to spend personal funds on, but will humor me by wearing his new bow tie collar for a bit.

He later figured out how to remove it. Good thing I didn’t buy the expensive ones 😆

Sylvie and Indie would like to know if you have any snacks to spare 😊

06/06/2025

350(ish) pounds of love, relaxing after a day of rooting and grazing and wallowing (and yelling that her meals and snacks were late 🙃). Indie has no idea how lucky she is; no idea she was meant to end up on someone’s plate. It’s a thought that haunts me, though.

We think often about those we can’t save. Even if we had twice the land and resources, it wouldn’t be enough. Some days it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to get past those thoughts. But then we focus on those in front of us. The animals are the true heroes in the sanctuary world - escaping, sometimes taking an actual LEAP of faith to change their lives.

And hopefully they also change the lives of others, just by allowing us to showcase their personalities and the peaceful lives they all desire and deserve.

Have a good day, friends. Do something kind for yourselves or someone else 💚
