Our hearts are absolutely bursting as we welcome our two newest rescues to Catskill Animal Sanctuary: Longhorn cows Cecil and Hazel! These two breathtaking animals have only just arrived, but we can already tell just how much of an impact they’ll have for years to come. They come to us from another sanctuary whose animals … Read more
On February 22nd, the team at Catskill Animal Sanctuary welcomed home three sets of twins — and two mamas. It was one of the busiest rescue days we’ve had at the Sanctuary in a long time. First thing on Tuesday morning, we welcomed twin newborn calves, rescued from a dairy farm — and an hour … Read more
Welcome home, Buddy! Meet our newest rescue, the 31-year-old blind Appaloosa, who is gentle as can be. Most people are either unable or unwilling to provide the extra care required when horses lose their vision, and so many are euthanized. Buddy, in fact, was scheduled to be euthanized the very day we rescued him, as … Read more
Mother’s Day can be a wonderful celebration of the nurturers and caregivers in our lives, a way to thank them for their dedication, love, and kindness.

The nursery has been built for our two newest rescues: Alice and Leo. They are two 8-week old bonded rescues from the meat industry. Leo is blind. We’re so happy to welcome them to their forever home.
After learning that baby Leo is deaf as well as blind, we are interacting with him through touch. We are so happy to share that he is reaching new developmental milestones!
Alice loves to chase her favorite humans around, just like a puppy. In the ways that truly matter, we are all the same, whether we are farmed animals, companion animals, or humans. We all love to play!
Baby Alice wants to remind you all to stay hydrated! She’s learned how to drink water and graze but her adopted brother Leo still hasn’t picked up these skills, so he gets bottle-fed four times a day. Your support helps us give them the care they need.
