To celebrate a decade of sharing stories of kindness and compassion for animals with our community's youngest animal lovers, we'll be hosting a special edition of our story time on September 28th. Every guest will receive a small memento to mark our special milestone!
Have you always wanted to have a pet pig? Register now for our Pigs 101 presentation to learn all you need to know about pigs: basic care, enrichment, behavior, and the truth behind "micro" pigs!
Want some hands-on experience? Attend one of our practicum sessions, where you'll work alongside our staff and volunteers to get real-life experience with handling and caring for pigs.
Got community cats in your yard? Come learn how to build winter housing or feeding stations and make the colder months easier on them.
We'll walk you through the build at the MSPCA at Nevins Farm on Sunday, September 30th in an instructor-led workshop. Workshop attendees will be supplied with building materials (though participants should bring their own tools) and guided through the build from start to finish. Attendees are then welcome to take their winter housing or feeding stations back to their community for use or are invited to donate it to Nevins Farm to be distributed to local altered/vaccinated colonies in need.
Get your horse ready for winter at our popular once yearly firesale by stocking up on blankets and sheets from our Tack Shop. For one day only and in our indoor riding arena, we'll be selling all of our blankets for $30 and sheets for $15 - and all of the proceeds will benefit the horses at Nevins Farm!
