🚨 URGENT: A lost sheep wandered onto Catskill Animal Sanctuary. After no owner came forward, she’s now an official CAS resident, but she’s still very scared and in need of an emergency shear and medical care.

We’re looking for #volunteers!

Join us as a Volunteer Tours Greeter at Catskill Animal Sanctuary and help welcome guests, check in tours, and support our visitor programs. Just 2–4 weekend days a month through November.

It’s a great way to give back and hang with rescued animals. 🐖🐴

Voted "Best Kids’ Attraction" in the Hudson Valley multiple years in a row! 🏆

Jess and Schmidt were never supposed to live beyond a few weeks.

They’re broad-breasted white turkeys: the kind raised and killed by the millions for food each year.

Luckily, these two will never know that kind of suffering. At CAS, they’re free to live long, healthy, peaceful lives.

Propaganda we’re NOT falling for… what’s yours? 🤔

This morning, we caught two of our beloved horses, Dharma and MJ, standing calmly while a few pigeons perch on their backs. It’s a small but profound example of the gentleness that lives within the heart of all animals when they are given the chance to simply be.

This is the spirit of sanctuary. 🐴🕊️

At CAS, we provide intensive care tailored to each individual’s needs. For Jess and Schmidt, that includes special diets, regular medical care, weight management, and lots of enrichment. While the industry sees them as commodities, we see them as individuals worthy of long, peaceful lives.

In the meat industry, turkeys are typically slaughtered between 12-16 weeks old. Beyond that age, their bodies begin to break down under the strain: joint issues, heart failure, and mobility problems are all common. Even feather growth can be a challenge, as we’ve already seen in Jess and Schmidt.

RESCUE ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨‼️

Meet Jess & Schmidt — two white broad-breasted turkeys who, at last, have found their forever home here at CAS.

These two recently arrived to us from another rescue that was at capacity. Jess is fearless, sassy and curious, while Schmidt is quiet, thoughtful and gentle.

🐄 To our dedicated supporters, friends, and community:
Join us in celebrating Kathy’s extraordinary contribution, not only to the 5,000+ animals she’s helped rescue, but to the countless humans she’s inspired to live more compassionately.

Thank you Kathy 💙

“Wow, this cow acts just like my dog!”

This was an exclamation made by one of our recent visitors to our Sanctuary while on a tour. While it can be surprising to discover just how incredible farmed animals are, we know this to be true: cows are so much more than our world gives them credit for.

This Pride Month, and always, we affirm:
Love is love. Liberation is for all. And none of us are free until all of us are. 🏳️‍🌈

Just recently, we granted underfoot (free-roaming) privileges to Sven (right) and his best friend, Vinny (left).

Sven and Vinny were rescued in October 2015 from a backyard slaughter operation. They have been really enjoying getting to meet guests with their new free-roaming privileges!
