Kim's Nurturing Nest Animal Sanctuary
"Rescued is our favorite breed..."
ABOUT THE SANCTUARY
Here at Kim’s Nurturing Nest Animal Sanctuary we strive to give every domestic/farm animal the best possible life. We respect where they are at when they arrive at our sanctuary. Some are abandoned, abused, injured, elderly or born with an abnormality. We have always had a particular soft spot for the special needs animals and will do everything we can to make their lives fulfilled.

ANIMALS FOSTERED
A current priority here at the Sanctuary is spaying and neutering kittens and cats, making sure they receive all their shots and then become socialized so they can find their forever homes. A large portion of this involves fostering the kittens until spaying and neutering is possible. There are many cats not able to be socialized, so we also focus on "TNR" (Trapping, Neutering, and Releasing) the cats so although they are feral, they can still receive proper treatment. We are also in an ongoing partnership with Joybound, a local non-profit animal rescue. Part of this partnership involves a series of spay and neuter “Feral Fix” days aimed at fixing 80 to 90 feral cats each day over a period of four months. This is an ongoing effort to make an impact prior to kitten season to prevent an even larger unhoused cat population. Learn more about our spay and neuter program here.
In addition to cats being fostered until spay and neuter time, we continue to foster other animals that come in and go out from the time we take them in after rescue, during treatment, and until they find their own homes.
Our Senior to Senior program is a long-term program that helps place senior cats who are 7 years of age and older, with senior citizens who are 62 years of age or older. Learn more about our senior cats needing homes and the program here.

WHAT'S GOING ON AT KIM'S NURTURING NEST
Animals Up for Adoption!
There is often a need to rescue animals out of dangerous situations and foster homes are usually difficult to find short notice. We work towards finding homes for animals in our foster care and try to always keep space available to accommodate new animals when there is a need. We have fostered cats, kittens, goats and chickens. Check out animals open for adoption to their forever homes as well as animals we have had the joy of fostering in the past.
Our Special Warriors
Some of the most amazing animals we have encountered are those that have had the roughest lives. But yet most learn to trust and thrive in a loving, healthy environment. To see the transformation these individual beings make is one of the most rewarding gifts in life. We’d like to share a few of our Special Warriors stories with you so you can see what resilient Warriors truly are.
What We're Growing and Eating
There’s nothing better than eating foods in the season they were meant to be consumed in. It does get tricky knowing when that is since our grocery stores have so many fruits and vegetables year round. We try to grow as much as we can at the sanctuary so we can benefit from their optimal nutrition.
Educational and Instructional Content
At the Sanctuary we are proud to be part of assisting warrior animals in rehabilitation and living out their lives to the fullest. Occasionally this means extra treatment for part of their lives or for all of it while we have them. Here you will find educational and instructional information on how to take care of select conditions that we have in the past or currently treat animals for.
