🐈 Join us for KitTea time at LadyBird Tea House Fair Oaks Village, presented by Krystal Anne 🫖🍵

Come play with our adorable, adoptable cats while enjoying tea and homemade vegan Asian pastries by Krystal Anne. There will also be cat-themed crafts to keep you busy, if the cats aren’t entertaining enough 😉🐈‍⬛🧶

Every cat adopted at this event will come with a cat starter kit, which includes a litter box, toys, and treats! 🐾

Invite your friends and adopt a cat! Tickets are limited, and a portion of the proceeds from each ticket sale will benefit the animals at our sanctuary. http://onlysunshine.me/kittea

We have a new sheep friend we want you to meet — Oswald! 😍

We don’t know much about Oswald’s life before he ended up at our county shelter, Bradshaw Animal Shelter. Obviously, a shelter is a tough place for any animal, but they’re ESPECIALLY tough for farm animals — let alone disabled ones! We knew it would be best for him to be out of the shelter and seen by an experienced large animal vet.

Our amazing rescue partner Genevieve'sGentleHeartsRescue pulled Oswald from the shelter, taking on all financial responsibility for him. He will be living with us as a foster until he goes to his forever home at Tikkun Olam Farm Sanctuary in Oregon.

So, what’s up with Oswald?

After a visit with UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine on Tuesday, the vets think he essentially just didn’t develop properly in the womb. They don’t have reason to believe he’s in any pain, and his spine is straight and sturdy. He bears weight a bit differently on that crooked back leg, but he definitely uses it! He has pneumonia, but the vets think it’s secondary and doesn’t have to do with his (adorable) smooshed face. He’s just a wonky guy who will need monitoring for arthritis as he gets older, but that’s it! He’s super special and we are honestly a little sad that we can’t keep him forever 🥹 But we are really happy to have him while we do!

If you’d like to support Oswald, you can click the donate button on this post to donate specifically to his care. Or, click the link in our bio, and leave a note when you donate that it’s for Oswald so we can get the funds over to GGH! You can also donate via the link in Genevieve'sGentleHeartsRescue‘s bio.

Thank you for helping us give every animal a chance, no matter what they look like or what their circumstances are ♥️

This could be you if you come to our upcoming movie night 😍 showing “The Sheep Detectives” 🎬🐑🕵🏻

Come meet and hang out with our 4 rescued sheep residents — Dusty, Meadow, Willow, and Poppy! After lots of time snuggling sheep, we will watch “The Sheep Detectives” projected outside on the lawn of the sanctuary while enjoying vegan popcorn and hot cocoa! 😋

Is there anything better than watching a movie about sheep, on a sanctuary with rescued sheep?! 🥹🥹

Today is World Farmed Animals Day 🐷🐮🐔

Every year on October 2nd, we take extra time to recognize the billions of animals killed each year for food. In the US alone, that number is 10 billion per year (Source: Farm Sanctuary)

There are more farmed animals on the planet than there are humans. That means it is more likely to be born into life on a factory farm that it is to be born human.

We also read somewhere once that it is more likely to be struck by lightning than it is for a farmed animal to end up at a sanctuary. We like to think that means the animals at our sanctuary are LITERALLY miracles ♥️

We can all do our part to help farmed animals by choosing to eat vegan foods. And, if you are local to Sacramento, this month is the Vegan Chef Challenge, meaning local restaurants add new vegan items to their menu and compete for awards. There is no better time to try vegan than now!

For them ♥️🐖🐄🐐🐑🐓

🎬 Join us for our LAST movie night of the year — a special showing of The Sheep Detectives while hanging out with our rescued sheep at the sanctuary! 🐑🕵🏻‍♂️

Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, pillows, and anything else you need to get cozy. Open seating is available on the lawn, so come on time to claim your spot and settle in. Vegan popcorn and hot cocoa included. 🍿☕️

You’re also welcome to bring your own food and drinks, as long as they are 100% vegan. Out of respect for our animal residents, the sanctuary is a vegan property.

The movie will begin at dark (around 7pm), but guests are welcome to arrive after 6:30pm to meet the animals, explore the sanctuary, and get comfortable before the show starts.

We can’t wait to spend a magical evening under the stars with you! 🌌🐑
