Sheep 

Noah

Little Noah was purchased from a backyard butcher to be a prop for a video shoot. When the shoot was over, the producers were not sure what to do with the lamb. Fortunately for Noah, a compassionate cameraman knew of Kindred Spirits Care Farm and asked if we would be willing to take in the little lamb. Who could say no to that face? He is such a character and not nearly as nervous as most sheep. He will join the crowd of bigger sheep and goats when treats are offered. Fearless and adorable, what a combination. And so, little Noah has joined our family, but he sure would love to have a sponsor!

Jasper

Jasper came to Kindred Spirits Care Farm when he was just a few days old. He was born the runt of triplets, but was too small and weak to get up and follow his mother and siblings back to the barn. The man who was overseeing the flock didn’t have time for a “bummer lamb”, and was going to leave Jasper in the field to die. Lucky for all of us, a compassionate lady was riding her horse past the field, convinced the farmer to let her take little Jasper, and arranged for him to live at our sanctuary. Even though Jasper lives with the flock, his favorite thing is to spend time with people. He is an amazing animal ambassador, teaching people how loving and affectionate farm animals can be. Won’t you help Jasper continue his efforts to teach humankind how wonderful all animals are?

Freckles

Freckles was living in a flock of sheep being kept by a man who intended to eat them. He let his sheep breed at will and soon his flock was “too big” and he wanted to get rid of some. Lucky for us, we found out in time to rescue Freckles and her son. Now they live in safety, assured that they will never be in danger of being eaten. Freckles is a good mother, and a curious and gentle soul. She is especially fond of dried cranberries. How would you like to show Freckles that she is a loved and valued member of this world?

Lily

Lily spent her early life as part of a meat herd, constantly pregnant and giving birth only to see her babies mysteriously disappear. However, a lucky chance brought her to our farm sanctuary. When she first arrived, the vet told us she was going to have one lamb, but to our surprise she had three beautiful babies! Lily takes her maternal duties very seriously, protecting her children and the rest of the flock. Would you like to sponsor Lily to help her keep the flock safe and sound?

Matisse

Matisse got his name because he is clearly a work of art and his fleece is as soft as a plush doll. The people who turned him in at the dog shelter said that this baby lamb was found wrapped in barbed wire. He was just a couple of weeks old when we got him so he needed to be bottle fed. We are loving watching him grow up.

Dan

Dan is Lily’s only living son, and is growing up big strong to protect his mother and sisters. But Dan needed a little help to get there. When Dan was just a few days old, his mom Lily had a plugged teat and Dan could not get enough milk. Fortunately, we were able to supplement his diet with formula to help him get the nutrition he needed to thrive. This extra attention not only helped Dan grow, but also helped him become familiar with human people. A sponsorship for Dan will help him continue to win friends and influence everyone’s opinion of farmed animals.

Penny

Because sheep only have two nipples, if a mama sheep gives birth to triplets, the runt has a hard time competing with the two larger siblings to get enough milk. Sheep farmers call these runts “bummer lambs” and often discard them since they rarely thrive without supplemental bottle feeding. Some animal rescuers reached out to a sheep farmer and asked him to give them his bummer lambs so they could find homes for them. Penny is one of those sheep. We got her as a tiny baby lamb and bottle fed her. She is such a gentle soul who loves to be cuddled. We are thrilled she is a part of the Kindred Spirits Care Farm family.
