Life is better with cats!

The care farm has been busy this winter steadily making improvements and preparing for tour season, and that includes a very special project in our cat cottage. We are so excited to reveal the recent remodel!

 

 

With the help of our wonderful volunteers and supporters, we’ve upgraded and refreshed everything from paint to toys and places to play, with improved sanitation, as well as upgraded furniture for our volunteers, so they can sit comfortably and spend even more time with the cats. 

 

Not only will the improvement to space offer our cats a greater sense of comfort, helping them ease into the home environment, it can also make a big difference for our human visitors. Many visitors to the care farm have had experiences with clinical settings that may be associated with trauma or hard times. This remodel will help the cat cottage feel less clinical and more like a home, offering a true sanctuary space for people and cats alike to heal. It’s all thanks to supporters and volunteers that this mission healing people, animals, and the Earth can continue, we are so grateful for the support that elevates and sustains this work!

 

 

You can take part in the Cat Cottage Remodel, by helping us refill the pantry! As we welcome more cats into our remodeled space, we’ll have lots of mouths of feed.  Check out our Chewy and Amazon  wishlists to help our cats with their vet-approved diet of Friskies Pate, toys, and more (please let us know of your donation via email so we can thank you!).

Adoption Update: Ven (aka Blackjack)!Here's the email Colleen received from Ven's human mom, it sounds like a purrr-fect fit!"Ven is a gem, and I have had the best time with him. I think I found a my friend for life. He is very sweet and he has adjusted to the residence hall with ease. He doesn’t care when we need to leave for fire alarms, and sometimes I put him in his backpack and take him out on walks with me. He is 14 pounds of big boy so he is hard to carry but if it means he can get a taste of outside in safety it’s worth it. I bought him several toys but he prefers to play with boxes and paper bags. His all time favorite toy is a plastic Wendy’s spoon. This last month and a half he has started to chase his tail while on top of his cat tower. It is the only spot I’ve seen him chase his tail. Why he doesn’t do it on the ground is beyond me. He is super chatty, and I was not expecting that from a deaf cat at all but I love it because I can talk back to him even if he doesn’t hear me. I am so happy that you let me adopt this silly goose of a cat. He is perfectly weird and we are a perfect fit (even if he just stole my glasses and hid them under the oven for a week and a half)!" ... See MoreSee Less

Ah, showy milkweed, Asclepias speciosa! Full disclosure, this photo is not of the farm’s milkweed (the farm has both the showy and narrow-leaf kinds), however we wanted to share this shot from a park in Medford where the Monarch butterfly graced this lovely flower…How could we not share this one?! ...

Meet Merlin, the powerful wizard!This young boy will surely bring lots of wonder and magic into anyone's life. He loves his doggy pals as well as his two-legged human friends!We don't know much about Merlin's start in life other than he was abandoned with the rest of his litter not far from Rescue Ranch in Yreka CA. While he was reasonably timid at first he quickly learned that we weren't so bad and showed off his goofy and playful personality.He has been amazing in playgroups and loves making new canine friends wherever he goes.Put in an Adoption Application for this awesome boy today: sanctuaryone.org/rescue-animals/adopt-us/adoption-application/ ...
