October is here 🍂 our favorite time of year at CAS! Take a tour with us: casanctuary.org/visit

Meet Ferguson 🐑💛 He’s got charm, quirks, and a story that will make you smile. We’ve just released a new video all about him: watch it to see why he’s one of the most loved residents at Catskill Animal Sanctuary. 🎥 Watch now: youtu.be/NZx6LRBeYEw?...

🚨 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. 🐖🐴

New video posted! 🐄💚 We sat down (literally!) with Anya and Milton — twins calves rescued from the dairy industry — to share their story and talk about how you can help cows like them. Watch now: youtu.be/pTvJQAP7VIU?...

Got a little one who loves animals? 🐑💛 Our Family-Focused Tour is perfect for toddlers 4 and under! Meet gentle rescued animals, hear their stories, and enjoy cozy cuddles from those who adore tiny humans. 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.

🗣️“Paws, hooves and wings all deserve love! Mutt lovers/cousins visited Catskill Animal Sanctuary, where the love is truly ‘spoken here.’ Come experience the compassion! Kindness looks good AND feels good!” Thank you, #TheMuttMix team for your kind review 💙🐐

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

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. 🐴🕊️

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.

Just had a great afternoon at @casanctuary.org hanging out with some beautiful animals. Kids had a blast and staff were so kind and professional. Anyone taking a trip near the Catskills should check them out!

In 2001, Kathy Stevens walked away from a stable career and a steady paycheck to follow a vision: to create a haven for farmed animals, a place where their lives would be valued, and their stories would change hearts.

“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.

At CAS, we exist to champion compassion for ALL beings who experience marginalization, discrimination, or violence simply for being who they are. As we celebrate Pride Month, let’s talk about why advocacy for farmed animals is deeply connected to the advocacy for LGBTQ+ communities:

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!

Every spring, classrooms hatch chicks for "education," but behind the scenes, the reality is heartbreaking. 💔 Learn the truth: 🐣 (1/5) casanctuary.org/life-after-t...
