Visit animal enclosures armed with carrots & treats as the animals come and visit. The horse, donkey & goats love carrots & grapes, the pigs will eat just about anything. See if you can get them to roll over when their belly is scratched! Inside the chicken enclosure baby chicks can be held if mommy hen permits. Mother hens with chicks or sitting on eggs are sometimes visible. A colony of rabbits enjoy the garden while tending to their babies.
Treats, like fresh lettuce can be offered as the
eager hens gather around looking for their favorite snacks. Just sitting back and watching the animals feed, swim and engage with each other is fascinating. Safety guidelines must be respected so that the experience is safe for the animals and the visitors. At any time of year there are many rescued animals that live here harmoniously.
Things are always changing with the seasons too. The raised bed gardens provide vegetables, herbs and flowers and are used to feed the household and also the animals. Large compost piles give us beautiful black rich compost each spring to produce our abundant garden. The circle of life is illustrated in a rich tapestry at the Kitty Hotel, a modest homestead. 100% of your fee goes toward the upkeep and care of the animals.
