Work Parties are a great chance to not only volunteer but also to get  up close and personal with the residents as well as learn animal care or construction skills. Due to the nature of the work children must be 12 or older and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian.

You MUST RSVP for our work parties as spaces are limited and we plan our projects around the number of volunteers we will have.

If you have a large party of 15 or more please contact us to schedule a work party for your group.

A vegan lunch will be provided at the end of every work party. We want to provide our volunteers with a delicious lunch as a way of saying THANK YOU!  Please note we do not allow any meat or animal by products on the property.

Vegan Potluck

In July 2016 we started hosting monthly vegan potlucks at the sanctuary. Our potlucks are a chance for our vegan friends to come hang out, meet one another and share food and recipes. They are also a chance for our non-vegan friends to come try all sorts of food, learn about veganism, and hopefully make a compassionate change in their lives.

Our potlucks, like our tours and volunteer opportunities, are rain or shine, though may be canceled due to severe weather or lightning.

Vet Program

In 2017, Kindred Spirits Sanctuary started a new innovative program called Kindred Cares Veterinary Services. This program allowed us to hire a staff veterinarian and to assist other rescued farmed animals at little to no cost to the sanctuaries that provide them forever homes.

Kindred Cares Veterinary Services is currently operating in the south, in both Florida and Georgia, and our veterinarian, Dr. Rogers, oversees the medical care of over 1,000 rescued farmed animals. These animals are often rescued from horrible conditions and have been bred to live short lives. Due to those conditions, these animals need very specialized care and Dr. Rogers works closely with caregivers to make sure that each resident at the sanctuaries get the treatments that they need.

This program also allows us to reach veterinary medicine students, who are about to go out into the world, through our veterinary externship program. Extern’s work closely with Dr. Rogers and our vet tech, Emily. Our goal is to teach them to see these animals in a different light and help them understand that they are deserving of the same treatment as animals typically considered pets. We have a long ways to go, as even rescued farmed animals are considered by the medical community and the FDA to be ‘food animals’, but our hope is that through the years we will build a strong voice for farmed animals and their care.

We are not open to the public as a veterinary clinic and can not answer medical questions without a valid relationship with a sanctuary and the animals.

Donate

Kindred Spirits is a different kind of farm sanctuary. We rescue the MOST neglected, the MOST abused, and the MOST in need of urgent care – anywhere.

But to say this past year has been tough financially is a HUGE understatement.

We need your critical gift to meet our year-end budget so that we can continue to provide our farmed animal residents the best shelter, food, and medical care they deserve. So please be generous.
