"Where Every Animal Is Special"

Pets

In addition to the animals we raise, we have many "pets". These animals are greatly loved creatures that we have around for "no reason" other than we enjoy their company. On a visit to our farm, you may meet any of these animals.

Milo

    Milo is our old barn cat. He was born in June 2000. He no longer lives outside. He has moved to the house due to an autoimmune disease that makes it hard for him to control his body temperature and to loose his hair. Milo is a yellow tabby. We rescued him and his two brothers  as twelve week old kittens that couldn't be touched. Milo is now a people kitty and Scooter is tolerant of "his people". We all sadly miss their brother, Morris, that died August 5th, 2008. He was a wonderful people greeter. Now Milo is taking his place with greeting visitors.

Tansy, Tabbie, and Tally

    We found these three girls on our road in May 2010. We brought them home with the intent of finding them new places to stay, but it became apparent that they had found their permanent home here. They took Milo's place as our barn kitties, but rather than learning to catch mice, they are largely enjoying their helpings of goat milk and kitten food.

Buddy

    Buddy Bird was hatched in 1999. He is a Quaker Parakeet. He loves to talk, and says about 50 words and phrases. He has learned to associate words and actions, such as "Good night" when lights are turned off.

Baby Bird

    Baby Bird was hatched in approximately 1991. He is a blue crown conure. He says many phrases (most include a part of his name) such as "Baby Bird!", "B-Bird", and "Hey Baby!". Thank you to Tina Travis for giving him to us!

Caesarion

Caesarion is a purebred traditional sealpoint Siamese neutered male. He was born March 27th, 2005. He was bred by Belynda Miller of Defiance, MO.

Christy

Christy is our black and white spayed female house cat. She was born September of 1994. We got her from Laurel Grench, who rescued her from a parking lot in Illinois.

Pip

Pip is our blue and white spayed female house cat. We got her from Wanda Twellman of Moscow Mills, MO. Pip was born in 1996.

Bo

Bo is our boa constrictor. He was born in February 1995 (yes, born as constrictors are live bearers unlike other snakes)  and eight feet long. Bo is extremely docile, though startling to many of our visitors. He has gone to many daycares and petting zoos to help educate people that snakes are not to be feared.

Sneak Attack

"Sneakers" is a blue tabby kitten that Teri adopted from Animal Welfare in Warren County in August 2008. He is going to be a very large cat, since he weighs 14lbs and won't be a year old until May 28th, 2009.

Marquee

Marquee is a calico kitten that Tora recieved for her birthday. She is going to be a little cat, but she has a great big attitude!
