An Important Update from Serenity Farm Virginia

We want to share an important update about our cattery and how it will affect our November sanctuary tours.

We are currently dealing with an outbreak of a contagious feline respiratory illness among our rescued cats. Because these infections can spread quickly in a group setting, we have made the decision to close our cattery to visitors for the entire month of November.

When Mouse and Bella began showing symptoms they were promptly seen by our veterinarian and are already feeling much better following treatment. We are closely monitoring the other cats, and a respiratory PCR test has been submitted to help identify the cause of the illness and guide our cleaning and quarantine procedures.

Why the quarantine?

Our first priority is protecting the health of our sanctuary residents, but we also want to protect your cats at home. Some feline respiratory pathogens can be carried on clothing, shoes, and other items, potentially exposing cats who have never visited the sanctuary. Closing the cattery is an important precaution to help prevent further spread.

What does this mean for November tours?

The good news is that our sanctuary tours will continue as scheduled. You will still have the opportunity to meet Tucker the horse, Harrison the sheep, Leilah the goat, and all of our other wonderful residents. The only change is that the cattery will remain closed to visitors through November.

And we have something special for our November guests!

We know that spending time with our rescued cats is a favorite part of many visits. That's why everyone attending a November tour will receive a complimentary voucher for a future one-hour kitty visit, once the quarantine has been safely lifted.

You will have a chance to return and enjoy some extra-special time with our feline residents at no additional cost.

Thank you for your understanding, compassion, and support as we work to get everyone healthy again. Our cats are receiving lots of love and attentive care, and we look forward to welcoming visitors back to the cattery when it's safe to do so.

From all of us at Serenity Farm Virginia, thank you for helping us keep every member of our sanctuary family safe!

Check out the latest newsletter on our website: What if Nature Knows More Than We Think?

"Quietly observing our surroundings, can be a wonderful experience. Within minutes, we begin to realize just how much is going on around us. Birds are foraging for food, insects are busy at our feet, and the leaves of the trees are dancing in the breeze. It is easy to get lost in the moment if we allow ourselves.

During these quiet moments, I challenge you to go a little further. Allow your mind to wander beyond conventional thinking and consider the possibility that the plants around you are communicating with one another." ...read more at: https://serenityfarmva.org/2026/10/24/what-if-nature-knows-more-than-we-think/

🌱 Exciting News from Serenity Farm Virginia! 🌱

We are delighted to announce that Serenity Farm Virginia has received a $1,000 grant from the Community Foundation Northern Shenandoah Valley made possible through the generosity of the Community Future Fund!

This generous support will help us expand our outdoor environmental education program with a new Native Garden Teaching Area.

Designed for children ages 3–15, this hands-on learning experience will bring the wonders of nature to life. Children will plant native seeds to take home, nurture young plants in raised garden beds, and explore established gardens to discover how plants grow and support pollinators and other wildlife.

🌼 From tiny seeds to thriving habitats, every experience will encourage curiosity, compassion for living things, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Community Foundation of the Northern Shenandoah Valley and the Community Future Fund for investing in the next generation of environmental stewards.

Together, we're planting seeds of knowledge that will grow for years to come! 💚

Bailey's New Look: Packing Paper Couture!

When Bailey came to SFV after her beloved owner passed away, she was heartbroken. Grieving her loss and overwhelmed by the other cats, she withdrew into herself. No matter how much love and reassurance we offered, nothing seemed to lift her spirits.

We realized that what Bailey needed was peace and quiet. So we moved her into our office, where she could be the one and only cat. And what a difference! Away from the hustle and bustle, Bailey blossomed into a happy, playful girl.

As for her latest fashion statement? Some packing paper from a shipping box just happened to land on the office floor, and Bailey took it from there. She crawled right into it and made herself perfectly at home!

Sometimes the simplest things bring the greatest joy. And helping an animal heal means understanding what makes them feel safe.

The dogs get to lick the spoon after yogurt is added to their dinner. Shea is methodical and neat...then there's Teddy. He always ends up wearing it.

They grow up so fast. Seems like yesterday we were bottle feeding Opossum and Mouse.

Every single one matters, and every single one is loved. Our sanctuary family.

Petunia loves laundry day. She positions herself by the dryer vent and slowly turns around so she gets a full body warm air spa treatment. Just what she needed on this chilly wet day.
