The sweet chickies have a lot to say about our freshly homegrown wheatgrass! 🫠 Wheat berries for the win- see the berries as sprouts and then as full blown grass!

One year ago, the first residents arrived at Mystery Meadows. Wow!💗

This community of 12 chickens was in need of a new home because their previous humans were moving. The truth is, well intentioned folks with “backyard chickens” can sometimes get in over their heads with compassionate care and safety protocols for chicken friends. If you Google “chicken care”, there is so misleading, dangerous, and simply FALSE info out there. 🤔💭

The chickens arrived with painful frost bitten combs and waddles. Their coop floor was soiled and caked with 6 inches of awful ammonia filled waste. We had to cover our faces because it burned our lungs- imagine how the chickens felt. 😕

Chickens have an absolute right to proper warmth, fresh air/food/water, and cleanliness just as you and I do.

Our winter electric bill is high and we sleep with coop temperature sensors at our bedside because we care and they deserve it. 🐔 💕

FYI: In the cold, coops are outfitted with cozy coop panel heaters and oil filled radiators. These are the safest options. 🔌

For more info, head over to The Open Sanctuary Project website. In their compassionate classroom, there is tons of free eye opening knowledge about rescue farmed animal care. 🌱📖

Renegade kitty Lisa Vanderfluff got a follow up visit at the vet this morning! ☀️ 👨‍⚕️

She’s recently been experiencing itchiness and sudden patchy hair loss from previous flea larva. Today, she was given a cortisone shot and was prescribed antibiotics for persistent upper respiratory issues. 🤕

It’s been over a month since we found her- she was severely underweight and neglected outside in the freezing temperatures. She eats like a champ and has gained a pound in a little over 30 days! This is good news! 💪

As a non-profit organization, we rely solely on donations. Today’s vet visit was $184.87. Can you help Lisa on her health journey? She’s a tough girl with a positive attitude despite her current health challenges. Whether it’s a $1 or $10, every bit counts! 💕

Our Whiskered babes are getting neutered today! 🍾

Bluegrass, Skelly, and Skunk are former ferals who live safe and warm in the Renegade Cat Haven at the sanctuary. 😻

Spaying and neutering cats is essential! ✔️Wish them luck on their surgeries- we love these boys to pieces!
