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!).

Farewell to Pavarotti-At Sanctuary One, the bonds we form with the animals in our care run deep, creating a profound circle of connection and healing. Among them was Pavarotti, affectionately known as Pav, a spirited Boer goat. Pav arrived at Sanctuary One at the age of 12, a time when many goats like him have already said goodbye. Yet, surrounded by nurturing hands and compassionate hearts, Pav thrived for another eight years, becoming a cherished symbol of resilience and the mutual care that flows between the sanctuary’s animals and its people. He embodied strength with a gentle presence that deeply impacted everyone who knew him. His peaceful demeanor brought a sense of calm and connection to those who cared for him, inspiring perseverance and providing moments of reflection in the serene surroundings of the care farm. For many, his ability to connect with people on such a profound level served as a reminder of the unspoken bond between animals and humans—a bond rooted in trust, healing, and mutual respect. Pavarotti’s legacy, and that of the other animals we've lost, serves as a powerful reminder of the full circle of care that defines Sanctuary One. The animals we nurture also nurture us, teaching compassion, patience, and connection to everyone who walks through our gates—from staff and volunteers to field trip students and visitors. As we continue our important work, we remain committed to honoring this beautiful balance, ensuring that Sanctuary One continues to be a place of healing, growth, and connection for animals, people, and the earth alike. ...

With summer solstice upon us, it's time to harvest lavender! Our intern Marley was very patient with the bees as we collected them into bundles, even cutting around stalked occupied by the little fuzzy guys. We will be donating a big box of lavender bundles to the Teresa McCormick Center this week, along with some tomato plants for those participants who are interested in growing their own 'maters. With 80 tomato plants freshly planted in our Healing & Learning Garden this past week, there will be plenty for all TMC participants this season! ... See MoreSee Less
