We don’t know much about Rem’s early days, other than the fact that he was rescued from slaughter. He was raised by a family who seemed to love him. From neighbor’s accounts, Rem (jersey steer), Sophie (cow), and Sid (goat) were all left behind after the caretaker’s home was foreclosed, and they were no longer allowed onto the property. For a year, neighbors stepped in to help. Once we were made aware of the situation, we immediately rescued Sophie. A neighbor fell in love with Rem and Sid and found a way to keep them on his land, but several years later we had the chance to reunite Sophie with Rem and Sid. Rem and Sid had a particularly special bond, with Sid snuggling up close to Rem every single night as they had for over a decade. Rem and Sid have several viral videos all over the internet thanks to their darling relationship!

Cici was rescued from a dairy farm in Vermont. She was found in an extremely filthy pen with dozens of other calves who were all very sick. Unfortunately, none of those babies were meant to live out their lives. Cici’s mother was artificially impregnated at a very young age in order to induce milk production for human consumption. She was bred to a smaller breed of bovine to prevent experiencing birth complications. Because Cici is not a purebred Holstein, she was considered a byproduct. She was so small and sick that they didn’t consider her worth the gas money to send her to auction (eventual slaughter). We rushed her straight to Cornell University where she fought for her life in the ICU for 28 days. Cici lost all of the hair on her body because her fevers were so high! She required so much intervention that every single day was touch and go. She then spent another 30 days in our medical unit before getting to meet her forever family and mama Sophie. Cici is the most vocal and spirited animal here at Mockingbird!

Sophie was once a 4-H calf, shown at fairs by a little girl whose mother worked at the dairy farm where Sophie was born. Once Sophie was around 1 year old, she was bred to induce lactation. She had four babies (two calves and a set of twins) taken away from her at birth, and her milk yield began to decline after 4 years. Sadly, it’s known that two of her calves died at birth. Sophie is such a maternal and gentle soul who surely grieved the loss of her babies. She was then sent to an auction house where she’d be sold to be slaughtered for cheap beef. The young girl and her mother who fell in love with her found out and raced to the auction. They bid and won Sophie. Despite all of the good intentions, the family was forced to leave their home and animals behind. Sophie was left in a field (with Rem and Sid) for a year with only neighbors to care for them. We rescued her in the middle of a massive blizzard back in 2018. She was the first cow to find sanctuary at Mockingbird, and her rescue is one we will never forget! Sophie has loved, groomed, and raised three calves here at Mockingbird.

In 2020, just before the first case of Covid hit the United States, River was found running around the city streets of Rochester, NY, at approximately 3 days old. Ultimately, the police had him cornered in someone’s backyard after a long and stressful chase. He was so young that he still had part of his umbilical cord attached. The SPCA called us to see if we had room for a calf, and we absolutely said yes. It turns out River was in fact very sick. He had many zoonotic diseases, so we had to be very careful handling him - wearing suits, gloves, masks, and boot covers. With tender loving care, he recovered and has since been the most gentle and gigantic steer ever.

We don’t know much about Daisy’s past other than the fact that she had been rescued multiple times throughout her life. She came to us due to her previous caretaker’s ailing health. She and her three goat friends traveled many hours to get to Mockingbird. Daisy is extremely suspicious of humans, even if you’ve got a delicious treat in your hand. We allow Daisy as much room, space, time, and grace as she needs to come into herself while living in sanctuary. We always hope to grant animals peace however they need it. Daisy has a pretty extreme underbite which makes it difficult for her to eat and keep weight on, so we are always changing up her feed routine so that she gets everything she needs. Fun fact, she REALLY loves her butt scratched!

​Radley is a Finn and Shetland crossed sheep. He was born on a local farm and had gotten his leg caught in a fence at less than 2 weeks old. At first the farmer thought he dislocated or temporarily injured it.
We picked him up for immediate X-rays and found that he had actually fractured his femur in half and was not a candidate for reconstructive surgery. The wonderful staff at Cornell University amputated his hind leg, and he is the most vocal happy boy on the farm! Everyone loves the Rad-man!  His missing limb  doesn't slow him down one bit!

​Ruby was rescued alongside her late mother, Lucy, who we sadly lost to metastatic cancer in the fall of 2024. Ruby was only a few weeks old when we were able to liberate them from the horrific fate of ritualistic slaughter. Ruby and Lucy were both very sick upon rescue, and it took weeks to get them well - even a trip to Cornell. Ruby always stayed close to her mom and has only trusted a handful of people. Since losing her sweet mom, she has bonded with Daisy (llama) and follows her everywhere! Ruby is a wonderful soul, and we are so thrilled she gets to live the rest of her life in sanctuary.

Gilbert and his companion, Anne, were unfortunately part of an abuse, neglect, and hoarding situation. At their previous home, their gate hadn’t been opened in years, and they were living in a muddy, manure-filled environment. Their hooves were so overgrown that they could only stand for 5-10 minutes before needing to lie down. They had unfortunately been fed a high-sugar and high-starch diet, which led to them becoming extremely overweight. Anne and Gil were once uncatchable and feral donkeys. Fortunately with time, space, veterinary care, farrier care, and gentle touch, they are now the most affectionate animals at the sanctuary! Gilbert was recently diagnosed with Cushing’s disease and requires daily medication. He despises this medication more than anything! Gilbert is deeply bonded to Anne and loves to be fly sprayed and roll in his dry lot throughout the summer.

Fortunately with time, space, veterinary care, farrier care, and gentle touch, they are now the most affectionate animals at the sanctuary! Anne is known for her side eye, leaning into humans for “hugs”, her love of fly spray, rolling, and when not receiving attention, she will gently grab clothing with her teeth and refuse to let go until she gets loved on.

Forrest also came from a local goat dairy farm. When a dairy goat gives birth to a male goat, there is no real use for them as they will never produce milk. These babies typically end up going to slaughter, though some people try to find them homes and spare their lives. Forrest is extremely vocal when he wants a snack or sees a caregiver coming over to love on him. Forrest enjoys heading out to the pasture to graze. Forrest is a sweetheart and spent his first few weeks being bottle fed and living in the farmhouse because it was so cold outside!

When we were called to evaluate the donkeys, Anne and Gilbert, we had to walk through over one hundred goats who were very clearly inbreeding, sick, filthy, and feral. All of a sudden, a tiny baby with protruding bones ran over and began suckling on Jonell’s pant leg. The farm hand asked us to take him because he was “tired of giving him his daily bottle.” A baby goat that age requires many more feedings than once a day. There was no question we were taking him back to the sanctuary. Quickly, we built a warm pen for Finch because he had a pretty significant parasite load and needed quarantine as all intakes do. Finch’s mother died during labor, as did his siblings. Finch had to be pulled from her, and it’s likely he didn’t get enough oxygen at birth. We have no idea what his cross is, but it doesn’t matter. He's as cute as a button!

We don’t know much about Barnaby's past other than the fact that he had been rescued multiple times throughout his life. He came to us due to his previous caretaker’s ailing health. Barnaby and his goat friends, Stevie (rest her soul) and Dottie, as well as Daisy the llama, traveled many hours to get to Mockingbird. Barnaby is extremely leary of people, but if you have animal crackers, that might help! Unfortunately, Barnaby suffers from extreme seizures likely due to a parasite that traveled to his brain years prior to rescue. It is our honor and privilege to care for their crew. They find comfort in their little family and will forever spend their life safe and warm.

We don’t know much about Dottie’s past other than the fact that she had been rescued multiple times throughout her life. She came to us due to her previous caretaker’s ailing health. Dottie and her goat friends, Stevie and Barnaby, as well as Daisy the llama, traveled many hours to get to Mockingbird. Dottie is the most shy and skittish of our whole herd. When she requires handling for hoof trims or medical reasons, she will shake in fear, so we try to be as quick as possible. We allow Dottie as much room, space, time, and grace as she needs to come into herself while living in sanctuary. Dottie had a total hysterectomy in 2023 and spent significant time at Cornell University getting world class care. It is our honor and privilege to care for Dottie. She finds comfort in her little family and will forever spend her life safe and warm.

Peggy was surrendered to the humane society by her previous human. She was abused, neglected, and made to run as fast as she could go in a tiny stall. She was extremely afraid when she arrived - kicking, biting, and bolting. She was especially terrified of men. At first, she’d run right through the front door, as well as electric fencing, requiring us humans to painstakingly catch her and bring her home. Now Peg is the most loving and trusting pony. She suffers from Equine Metabolic Syndrome and Cushing’s Disease, which causes her to struggle with seasonable laminitis, preventing her from seeing her friends due to needing deep bedding and stall rest on occasion. She is on life-saving medications and has a wonderful medical and sanctuary team who cares for her deeply. She even has a specialized hoof trimmer who travels 4 hours just for her every 6 weeks.

Bourbon was surrendered by his loving humans after they could no longer care for him due to medical reasons. He came to us pretty overweight, but over time he was able to lose a much-needed 100 lbs. Ponies are extremely predisposed to laminitis, so we do everything we can for Bourby-Boy to stay healthy! Bourbon loves food - any kind of food. He is quite food aggressive, but he’s learning how to be respectful with us humans. He is also very much in love with Peggy. He will follow her everywhere she goes. It’s precious that Peg gets to have a companion her size.

Luca is the son of Honey, our Belgian mare that recently passed away at 23 years old after a valiant fight at Cornell University with colic surgery. Luca is a gorgeous boy, and he knows it! Luca was born in 2013 but still acts like a teenager. When he was born in Colorado, he needed special treatment to straighten out his legs and at just 10 days old experienced a terrifying wildfire just miles away. He loves Bourbon the pony, being groomed, and being hand walked for adventures. He also loves to get into trouble. He is so smart, we’ve had to Luca-proof his stall door. He is a beautiful representation of his late mama Honey and Friesian Sire, the late Hawk. Luca’s full name is Hawk’s Luca Rae. His favorite snack is watermelon!

Gordy is a middle-aged potbellied pig. He is the most social of the three pigs that we care for here at Mockingbird. He was surrendered by his family after they were no longer able to care for him due to his size.

Gordy is “mule-toed” which means that he has a genetic condition giving him a solid, non-cloven hoof. Unfortunately, this predisposes him to future arthritis. He requires frequent hoof trims to keep him comfortable. Gordy comes running as soon as he sees people. He LOVES people, and he LOVES visitors! He has the softest ears and enjoys making new friends, especially if they have an apple or a pumpkin for him.

Teddy is a tiny little potbellied pig who came to us after his family could no longer care for him in their home. They loved him very much, but he truly wanted to be an outdoor pig rooting in the mud and exploring the great outdoors. Ted is a pink pig which predisposes him to skin cancer; therefore, he requires sunscreen. Ted is extremely food motivated and lives for his meals and treats! Ted loves basking in the sunshine, a good muddy wallow, snacks, and belly rubs. Teddy is considered middle aged, and he is loved by everyone who meets him.

Neko was surrendered to our friends at Savannah Pig Rescue after he was found in horrible conditions. We had the space and agreed to give him a forever home here at Mockingbird. He was purchased at a livestock auction, and he was living in a rabbit cage unable to turn around or move for over 12 hours each day. He was occasionally fed dog food which led to malnourishment. Neko also suffered from an extreme case of mange. Neko has grown into a beautiful and sweet boy! He gets along with everyone and loves a good cuddle puddle.

Littlefoot is a Broad Breasted White turkey. Her breed is often slaughtered for holiday meals around 16 weeks old. Did you know around 46 million BBW turkeys are consumed in the US for Thanksgiving?

Littlefoot and her sister Petrie (who sadly was diagnosed with bone cancer and laid to rest in August 2025) were rescued as just baby poults with severe respiratory infections. They slept right in the farm house with 24/7 care and the best vet care possible. It's a miracle they survived! Littlefoot is now over 1.5 years old. With careful diet, exercise, and  love, we hope she lives a nice long life, as she deeply mourns the passing of her sister. Littlefoot's favorite person in the entire world is volunteer Darren. She often sits right on his feet to prevent him from moving! He has to stop frequently to snuggle her when working around the farm. These turkeys have been some of the most soulful animals we have ever had the privilege of caring for.

Lenny came to us with spraddle leg (meaning her legs were flat out to the side and she couldn't walk). With experience fixing this condition, we agreed to take her in (along with a friend because they always do better with a  pal)- especially because  guinea fowl are social and truly wild. They are native to Africa and despite humans trying to domesticate them,  they have remained true to their roots! They  After splinting and careful physical therapy, you'd never know  Lenny ever suffered from spraddle leg!  For their safety (they can fly high up into the trees)  but they can consume 1,000 ticker per day! They LOVE to dine on bugs and greens within their aviary jungle. They are gorgeous birds and we are thrilled to have been able to welcome them.

Chester was hatched in a kindergarten classroom. He is the poster chicken for how poorly that experiment can go. Often eggs are hatched within classrooms to teach children about life cycles, but there is nothing natural about hatching an egg in an incubator without their family around. On average, for every hen that hatches, a rooster hatches. Most towns and cities are not zoned for roosters, so thousands are abandoned each year. When Chester hatched in the classroom, he could not stand on his own. A compassionate teacher brought him home and found him forever sanctuary at Mockingbird! Chester recovered with targeted nutrition and physical therapy, though he will always struggle with genetic conditions that cause his feet to require corrective surgeries. Chester is the most affectionate and loving rooster, as most are when treated with love and respect. He has many different vocalizations that mean different things (alerting perceived danger, finding a delicious snack, wanting pets and attention, and crowing all hours of the day). He loves to go on adventures and turns into the cutest flat pancake when pet. He falls asleep in your arms, and he’s just the best boy!

Aspen was surrendered by a local farm store at 3 days old. She had traveled across the country from a massive chick hatchery to be sold during their “chick days” event. Aspen was struggling with a very preventable and treatable condition which caused droppings to build up and block her vent, proving to be fatal if not corrected quickly. The farm store was expecting over one hundred new chicks to arrive in the mail the following morning, and they did not have the resources to simply clean her up and treat her. They surrendered Aspen and another chick on the spot. This condition is called “pasty butt,” and it’s caused by improper diet, lack of heat, and hygiene.

Peach was living in a tiny crate, with about a dozen other young geese, in the middle of the summer heat with no shelter. It didn't take long for us to jump into action and drive several hours to free her. Unfortunately, they would only surrender one gosling.

Peach suffered from "angel wing," a condition that causes flight feathers to grow outwards like airplane wings rather than tucked close to their bodies. Without immediate intervention, angel wing would become permanent. It's generally caused by lack of proper nutrition. Fortunately, we were able to correct her wings and give her a big flock and aviary to live out her life. We adore her so much!

Rufus, Ralphie, and Rory were found by a good Samaritan, having been dumped on a local public pond. Like many domestic ducks found in the wild, it can be assumed that they were once purchased as ducklings and abandoned to fend for themselves.Though they are hilarious and wonderful beings deserving of proper care and love, ducks are messy and high maintenance, and once grown up, the novelty typically wears off. Domestic ducks cannot survive in the wild because they cannot fly, migrate, forage for food, or find shelter on their own. Our team was successful in rescuing them off of a huge pond! Rufus suffered from a broken wing and a sprained hock joint, and they all had internal and external parasites. With time, they healed up and joined the beautiful Mockingbird flock. Rufus will always have one feather that grows a bit differently, but that’s what makes him beautiful.

Sophia, Blanche, Rose, and Dorothy were rescued from one of the most difficult neglect cases we’ve been a part of. Over one hundred domestic ducks and geese had been dumped onto a private pond behind a restaurant out of state. Multiple rescue organizations worked to free the birds from freezing to death during one of the coldest months we’ve experienced in our region. These birds were frozen into the lake requiring folks to risk their lives in order to chisel them free. It took weeks to rescue every single one from the pond, meeting great resistance from the community and restaurant owners who were under the impression that all ducks (wild and domestic) could co-exist together. This is a huge misconception, leading to hundreds if not thousands of domestic waterfowl being dumped into the wild every year. The restaurant had been profiting from their existence on their lake, drawing patrons who bought t-shirts after purchasing food from gumball machines to feed the ducks. Unfortunately, this was the only feed they had, leading to starvation and fighting for food. Each bird rescued required extensive quarantine, medical care for foot injuries, parasites, and refeeding programs. Eventually, they integrated into our flock never to have to worry about predators or their next meal again.

Shannon and Boyson are a deeply bonded Khaki Campbell duck pair. We received a call about a 3-day-old duckling who wasn’t able to stand up on his own. We took that duckling in, as well as Boyson who was suffering from a significant limp. We successfully treated Boyson for a slipped tendon, but the duckling who couldn’t stand sadly passed away within 30 minutes of coming to the farm. Boyson was then sadly alone for about a week. We offered him comfort with constant human snuggles, toy rubber duckies, and stuffed animals. We were called about another duckling a week later! Once home, they immediately bonded, and it was delightful watching and discovering that they were in fact a male and female pair. They are never more than a few inches from one another!

On February 14th, 2019, there was a grey striped cat waiting to come into the farmhouse at night. When we let him in, we were shocked! It wasn’t Tootles, our other cat! All of a sudden, there was a gigantic Maine Coon kitten who seemed to be making himself perfectly at home. He jumped right on the couch with the dogs, drank from their water bowl, and curled up next to us. He wasn’t neutered or microchipped. We put out a ton of “lost cat” signs and alerted the humane society, lost and found animal groups, etc. No one claimed him. So, he claimed US! We started a name game fundraiser online, and our supporters named him “Hart” because he showed up to Mockingbird on Valentine’s Day!

Hart is extremely popular at the farm because he is the first one to greet all of our visitors and new animal friends. He comes along on every public farm tour and stays in the barn as long as we are there. He rolls in dirt, sand, and all kinds of yuck before coming to cozy up right on our beds. His personality is gigantic, and it’s like he has always been here.

In 2013, when Mockingbird’s founder Jonell lived in Colorado, in the early days of the sanctuary (before moving to New York), she walked into a feed store, and someone had left a box of three kittens on the sidewalk with a “free” sign. All three kittens were so tiny, filthy, and terrified. Jonell had initially driven into town to purchase horse feed, but couldn’t leave the kittens behind, of course! Jonell took two of the kittens (a grey tabby boy and a tortoiseshell girl), while another kind patron took the last little orange one. Unfortunately Tootles’ sister, “Tink,” had a massive heart murmur and suffered from seizures every hour requiring her to be by Jonell’s side 24/7. Within 6 months, Tink’s body was weak, and she could no longer pump enough blood to her heart and brain at the same time. An extremely compassionate veterinarian treated her at no cost, and Tootles became Jonell’s shadow after the loss of Tink. Most folks think that their cats are the best, but Tootles is actually the BEST cat.

Sgt. Gray and Mr. Green were both born here at the farm in 2023. They are the most adorable little guinea pigs who look just like their late father, Colonel Mustard. Col. Mustard was rescued and lived for 6 years! We were asked to take in a male naked or “skinny” pig (a hairless guinea pig) and thought Col. Mustard would love the company after he sadly lost his brother Professor Plum to a kidney stone blockage. For a year, they lived in complete harmony until one day there were two adorable little babies in their enclosure. WHAT? We were shocked. Mockingbird doesn’t promote breeding of any kind, but the previous family had been assured that the mother of these babies was male. Turns out, everyone was wrong. They are very bonded and have their own room! They love greens, herbs, carrots, and hay.

Jim Dear was purchased by a young boy who felt as though he couldn't quite care for him, so he did such a brave thing and brought him to Mockingbird! Jimmy’s favorite snacks are timothy biscuits, lettuce, and carrots. Jimmy is the most social rabbit and loves to be pet until he's flat as a pancake!
