To Live Out Their Lives
Written By: - NONE - | Issue: 2017/10 - October
Why is the Forever Farm unique?
Very few sanctuaries like ours exist in this region. We purposely take in animals that are old or disabled, that most folks do not consider adoptable, and that have no place else to go to live out their lives. Every one of our residents are promised lifelong, loving care in a homelike environment. They are our family, just as your pets are part of your family.
Although we originally developed the Forever Farm for dogs and cats, we have diversified over the last few years to care for horses, goats, and even a couple of swine. We currently have 48 dogs and 90 cats at the Forever Farm. And for cats who need special nursing care or hospice, we operate the Joseph E. Pickelsimer Center to meet their needs.
One of the frustrating things about raising funds for our efforts is the lack of grants available for our type of mission. The large national organizations support spay/neuter, transport, and adoption programs. We must rely on individuals, and small family foundations, to help us care for our animals. Think about your sweet old cat lying next to you on the sofa, or your senior dog at your feet, and wonder who would take care of them if you were no longer there. They, one day, may need a sanctuary like ours to be their retirement home or “assisted living” facility.
