Farm – Rescue – Brewery
Bringing Sage home from the animal shelter was when I realized that I wanted to operate a rescue. Poor Sage had spent an entire year at the shelter. For some reason, no one was interested in taking on a friendly 12-year-old cat with no other health problems.
Skittles is probably the tiniest of the cats living here at Second Guess, but she’s the spunkiest. There’s good reason why we refer to her as the “Goddess.”
Of the seven cats under this roof, Spike has a most special place in my heart.
Right before Thanksgiving of last year (2018), a call went out for a winter foster or permanent rehoming of this approximately 10-year-old grey cat. Spike is a former feral who has seen some stuff. His ears are tattered from past fights, and he’s totally deaf. Spike is also blind in one eye. And completely toothless.
There are currently seven cats under this roof. The ‘baby’ is our most recent addition, an 8-year-old mouser named Stanley.
Second Guess has been a great many things in its short existence. At first the goal was to be a sustainable homestead farm growing heritage and heirloom fruits and vegetables, and doing some brewing on the side.
Then time passed.
Now, its goal is to provide a safe home for senior and otherwise homeless cats (while still growing heirloom veggies and doing some brewing).
I rescued Sage after he sat in the shelter for a full year. At 12 years old, no one was interested in him. Their loss.
Now he’s 15 years old. The youngest cat here is eight. And somehow, they all have names that start with ‘S’.
Check in here for their adventures!
