Grace started this farmstand recently and I can vouch for how delicious the baked goods are!! You will never buy store bought English muffins again! The cinnamon rolls are literally to die for. Follow the page because she is always offering new flavors!! Thank you Grace!! 😻

The Farm Stand will be stocked this weekend!

And this weekend, we’re giving back to some very special furry friends. 🐾

10% of ALL proceeds will be donated to Shady Owl Ranch! 🐶🐱

Shady Owl Ranch does so much more than support local animals they extend their care into surrounding counties, helping animals wherever they’re needed most. We’re so excited to team up with them and help support the incredible work Amanda does.

If you can’t make it to the Farm Stand this weekend, no worries! I’ve attached the Shady Owl Ranch Venmo below for anyone who would like to make a direct donation. Every little bit makes a difference! 🐾

Thank you for continuing to support our small business and our local animal community! 🤎

Garver's 'Adopt-a-pet' profile just got updated because we have learned so much more about him. He LOVES to play with other dogs, is good with cats and chickens and is actually younger than first estimated. He loves to play in water and go on hikes.

Remember when I asked for prayers for a couple kittens? This is one of them. This baby tested positive for Feline Leukemia. 💔 We sent the bloodwork away to make sure it wasn't a false positive and thats when I asked you for positive energy and prayers. We got the test results back today and it was both bad news and some good news.
Bad news... still FELV positive. 😞 Some good news is that her numbers indicate she has a regressive FELV infection. Cats with regressive infections are less likely to be infectious to other cats or to be sick due to a feline leukemia associated disease. One day they may eventually test negative.
Gato (cat in Spanish) will get vaccinated on Thursday, but we are going to hold off spaying her until she is 4 pounds. Her tuxedo sister (named Perra (Spanish for dog) or simply DogDog) has not been tested yet because she's so much tinier and has been battling some health issues of her own (not FELV related).
With all that being said, Gato is officially up for adoption. We can discuss what that means long-term for her and if possible for her to be adopted with another cat in the household if you are interested.

Mickey is so gorgeous! She was the first kitten I got from the Fast Food family so she is the most 'social'. Won't let me touch her but she is very curious. Her markings are incredible. I should be getting her fixed next week.

PENNY is such a big, beautiful, vocal girl! I love her so much! Go visit this talkative girl at the ReStore in Mt Vernon, Ohio and if you fall in love with her like I think you will, ADOPT HER! 💘

More kittens coming up for adoption soon...

This is the group that was trapped from a fast food restaurant in another county. 4 females and 1 male. I will be getting them fixed in a couple weeks. They are so beautiful but still so scared. I have been trying to work with them but to get this many socialized & adoptable is more than Im capable of so most likely because of how unsocialized and as old as they are, I will probably be looking for a barn for them.
I know that's not popular opinion with some rescues, but I have barn cats and they love their life and I believe if we find them a place that feeds them daily and gives them warm shelter in the winter, that is a lot better than living in a fast food drive-thru lane. I would love to find one or 2 barns for them to at least stay with a couple of their siblings. They will be available after I get them vetted but can be pre-adopted. I ask $25 for barn cats which covers less than half of their vetting. Some wonderful people are still trying to trap mom.

Here's another cat I have coming up for adoption soon....
STRIPES was found on a country road along with her baby 'Stars' over the July 4th holiday and has been recovering from an upper respiratory infection. Stars got adopted a while ago to great family. Stripes is a kitten herself, only 1 year old. She is so playful, is great with other cats & kittens and dogs, gets the zoomies, she will follow you anywhere. Stripes would be a great indoor/outdoor cat. She likes just being where you are. She follows me down to the chicken coop and goes on walks with us. She is a super fun cat. Adoption fee is 45.

Who saw Garver at the Mt Vernon farmer's market this morning? Look at how cute he is. Garver is in foster care with my friend Khara and still looking for his forever home!
