Surrey Hills Sanctuary

Surrey Hills Sanctuary Surrey Hills Sanctuary is a non-profit (501c3) micro-sanctuary dedicated to the human-animal bond.

Surrey Hills Sanctuary is a non-profit (501c3) founded in 2013. Located on a 7 acre farm in upstate New York, SHS is dedicated to providing a home for senior animals or those with special medical needs. Many of these animals have been discarded or unloved and SHS is often their last chance to live our their lives in a safe and loving environment. Our sanctuary is available to farm, companion (dog/

cat/bird) and wild animals. Although senior and medical needs animals are our specialty, we occasionally provide a home for animals that are healthy but due to special circumstances are without a home. In line with our mission, our sanctuary provides a permanent home for select wild/feral animals and birds that are unreleasable due to special medical needs. Surrey Hills Sanctuary is not a rescue organization or your typical animal shelter. Our animals arrive at our door only via referral from veterinarians, shelters and wildlife rehabiliators. We rarely adopt out our animals, unless we feel that the potential adopter will be able to care for the animal’s special needs. SHS is an alternative to euthanasia for most of these animals. We provide them with the love, attention, care and enrichment that will enable them to live fulfilling lives, despite their physical limitations or age. In addition to the Sanctuary, SHS provides funding to other established animal welfare organizations (such as the Wild Bird Fund or Frankie's Friends). SHS provides educational information and lectures to those interested in learning more about Animal Behavior and the Human-Animal Bond.

Record freezing temperatures around here so of course we brought all the chickens inside the house! I think they are genuinely enjoying the enrichment- it’s like a vacation!

Although I personally prefer seniors, I can’t help but admit that kittens are adorable! 🥰 We have almost 50 animals at the sanctuary, the majority are special needs feral cats! Please consider sharing this page or a donation, every penny counts!

I’m not sure that Chompy is thrilled at being a kitten nanny once again 😂🥰

Kitten alert! Paul went to the auto mechanic and came home with a 3 month old feral kitten. She is incredibly sweet! We don’t have a name for her yet, what do you think we should call her?

The boys, Magnus and Callum, decided that for Christmas they would go visit the cows at the farm around the corner. So today we had to walk them back home. Cows be cow-ing, they are notorious for going wandering. If you’ve never seen a cow walking down a road blocked by police, it’s really funny. But such is sanctuary life. My cows are so b***d to me that I just have to call them and they follow me home. Cows are deeply feeling animals and quite smart and affectionate. I love my boys tons. Merry Christmas from Magnus and Callum! 🎄🎁🐄🐮 Hopefully they don’t go traveling for a while, I’m exhausted! 😴

Happy 15th birthday Beatrice aka Queen Bee aka Kitty Kong! She’s officially the oldest resident at the sanctuary. She was born outside and abused by a child until she was about one year old. As soon as we learned about it we stepped in. She still hasa broken tail and ptsd but she’s just grown more loving and sweet with each passing year. We love you little Bea! Wishing you many more happy years!!

Poor little Oscar Butter is back in the hospital again!! Yes this is the third time this week and fourth time this month. He has a condition called Functional Mega-colon. Basically his intestines don’t contract to push out stool and he gets backed up and it has to be removed manually. We are working very hard with the amazing doctors and staff to try and find a treatment that works. As much as he loves Jamie and his people at the hospital he doesn’t love the frequent enemas! In the past month alone we have spent over $3000 on his procedures AFTER the sanctuary discount. This doesn’t count other sanctity expenses like the medical bill for Professor Chompy or regular food/litter expenses. We care mostly for special needs animals at the sanctuary, so it can get very expensive. Please consider a donation this holiday season. We appreciate all the help and good wishes! Our Venmo is

Chompy is back at the vet! He’s getting older and has some health issues including arthritis and allergies and fistulas. Chompy has always been special needs, since he was found outside years ago. Almost all of the animals at the sanctuary are special medical or behavioral needs. It’s incredibly time consuming and expensive but they are worth every minute. Please consider helping with a donation this holiday season, we always have outstanding vet bills. We are incredibly fortunate to be working with such an amazing vet team at . Despite all his issues, Chompy continues to be the sweetest boy and loves cuddling with all the doctors and staff at the hospital. 🥰
