Charlie wants to remind everyone to stay hydrated even during the cold weather, and maybe give someone a sloppy, wet kiss after taking a sip 😘

We received a message from a follower, asking for our address to send the outdoor cats a gift. We didn’t know what, or when, but a few days later these heated cat beds arrived. Thank you, Tabitha and Joya (and your pawrent 😉) for such a thoughtful gift. It came right in time for this ridiculous cold snap!

We’re all out of sorts here. The windchill is in the single digits this morning, and the girls want to stay by their heater. Who can blame them?

Introducing…Ritchie and Astrid!

We named Ritchie after a friend who, like him, had to persevere through some tough times before finding the good life. Unfortunately, our friend passed away suddenly at age 41…we hope he would feel honored for this guy to take on his name.

Astrid was the Norse goddess of divinity and strength. There’s no doubt this girl saw and experienced some scary stuff in her time at the game farm. She’s nervous, but we can see her strength shining through.

They still want space from humans, which is understandable. I’m visiting them for short periods throughout the day, making sure to offer treats and kind words each time. They are so beautiful, and Ritchie is quite the gentleman with Astrid, letting her know when he finds a yummy snack, and letting her hide behind him when she feels uncomfortable.

Happy Saturday, from Charlie 🐂

Charlie doesn’t bark or squeal or crow to remind us it’s time for breakfast…he trusts that we will show up with his grain and hay every morning. He’s patient (most of the time). He’s kind. He’s forgiving when we’re a bit late. He loves to be loved on, and gives us hugs and kisses in return.

Here’s the thing, though…he’s not that “special” for his species. Of course he’s special to US, but they all have the capacity to be just like him. While I was brushing him this morning, I watched the cows across the street with their babies. Doting on them, just like I was on Charlie. Those cows are left in the pasture with minimal, if any, human interaction until their babies are taken away in the spring. I dread those days, when the moms call out for their babies who won’t return. I’m crying just thinking about it.

I wish we could save them all, but we can’t do it alone. Please consider cutting back on eating our friends…if we decrease the demand, then supply will decrease, meaning fewer animals bred into existence just to be chopped up into food products months later. There are so many other food options!

Look into Charlie’s eyes. See the sentience. Have compassion. Make the connection. 💚

Our SURVIVORS arrived yesterday evening!

These two came from horrific conditions at the site of a cockfighting bust. They’re two of the lucky ones, and we’ll share more soon. For now, they are decompressing and trying hard to learn to trust humans. Our roo boy is very protective of his lady friend, which is lovely to see…and hopefully very soon he’ll realize he doesn’t need to protect her from us.

There are still 15 roosters in need of safe, loving homes, and time is running out! They will transport ANYWHERE…there is an amazing team of volunteers happy to help give these birds a chance at life. Contact if you think you can help give a rooster his ticket out of there.

Just two cute dudes out for a walk 🥰

We’ve been VERY BUSY here getting ready for our rooster and hen duo from the cockfighting bust. They are arriving in 2 days, and I think I might barely have their coop finished in time.

Thank you to those who have been able to donate towards this rescue! We’ve been able to order a coop camera, heater, heated water bowl, p**p scooper, and materials to build the coop! We will need more items for them, but those were essential to have in place. Can’t wait to meet them, and introduce them to you!

Charlie’s here to remind our US followers to set your clocks back an hour tonight. We will pretend we’re getting an extra hour of sleep, but everyone who has kids or animals knows that’s a lie 😅

⭐️Toby update⭐️

Toby is starting to feel better, and just had a solid 💩!
He’s down to waking us only ONCE in the night to go out, his f***l sample was clear, and he’s taking his meds like a champ. He has also learned that he loves mashed potatoes, and laps them up with his kibble.

His bloodwork overall looked pretty good, though he’s a bit anemic so we’re exploring options to support him with that.

AND we have a day of sunshine ☀️ ahead, so we’re all smiles!

Good morning!

Zoë is happy to report that the rain has stopped for the moment and the sun is trying to peek out from behind the clouds ⛅️

Temps have been dropping but it feels a little warmer without the rain, and Greta and Zoë were willing to eat breakfast outside their house 👏

Trying to get all the packed up to send to the next sanctuary…and Timmy was, of course, very interested in helping with the boxes. We have the best helpers keeping us in line!

Toby hasn’t been feeling well for a few days 😢. He’s had some diarrhea and urgency to go to the bathroom, mostly in the middle of the night. We have had 3 sleepless nights out of the last 4, and then he wants to sleep all day because he’s exhausted.

So, we booked a same-day appointment at the vet to hopefully get some answers! I tried to get a f***l sample for them but of course he hasn’t had to go since 3 am. I will take one in when things solidify a little 😏. But we went ahead and had some blood drawn, and we’re starting him on an antibiotic and adding extra probiotics to what he already takes. If that doesn’t help we’ll move to imaging in case there’s a partial obstruction, but he doesn’t present as if that’s the case so we’re starting conservatively.

Of course, he’s still in the van almost 2 hours after our return home! I’m making him some mashed potatoes as a bland topper to his dinner so hopefully I can lure him out with that.

Please send him some love and hugs for healing ❤️‍🩹
