Pay and Friends Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal sanctuary for cows rescued from the slaughterhouse. Our six remarkable rescue cows have a unique and heartwarming story we hope you enjoy.
Your kindness is crucial to their care.
Taking care of our gentle giants at Pay and Friends Inc. is a big job, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.
Here are some fun facts about what our beloved Babies need:
- Each resident munches through about 52 pounds of feed daily.
- With 6 residents, that’s a whopping 312 pounds of food every day, 365 days a year!
- This includes fresh pasture grass or dry green hay and alfalfa during winter.
- From late July until early June, when there’s no natural pasture feed, we keep their adorable bellies full with grass and alfalfa bales.
- In spring and summer, flies love to bug our Babies, so from May to October, we spray them twice a week to keep those pesky flies away.
Seasonal challenges are part of the fun:
- Heavy snow and extreme cold mean extra straw bedding.
- Sweltering heat calls for additional shade shelters.
- Occasionally, a vehicle might run off the road, damaging our fence.
- Plus, volunteers help clean up roadside garbage, making our space beautiful and safe.
And let’s not forget the fun stuff!
Our Babies LOVE toys, especially LaLa, our playful youngest member. Toys keep their senses engaged and bring endless joy.
Regular vet care and hoof maintenance are essential for their health, along with any emergency needs that pop up.
At Pay and Friends Inc., something new happens every week, sometimes even daily!
We welcome any and all forms of donations—time, money, produce, or love—for these sweet grass puppies who light up everyone’s day.
Thank you for helping to support our mission and bring more smiles to our pasture!
Mission
Dedicated to Compassionate Care. At Pay and Friends Inc., our mission is to provide a loving, safe, and happy home for rescued cows. We believe every cow deserves a life of freedom, fresh grass, and endless belly rubs. Our sanctuary is dedicated to nurturing their well-being and spreading joy through moo-ments of compassion and care with our staff, visitors and communities that surround us. Join us in creating a sanctuary where cows can thrive and their gentle spirits can shine!
Background Statement
At Pay and Friends Inc., our vision is a world where every animal is cherished and treated with kindness. We dream of expanding our sanctuary to welcome even more friends, offering them top-notch care and lots of love. By spreading the word through education and community fun, we hope to inspire a wave of empathy and compassion. Join us in our mission to make a positive difference in animal welfare! From One Humble Rescue to a Sanctuary, Pay and Friends Inc. began with a simple act of love in 2017 when Pay was rescued from a dairy farm to enjoy the natural life of a steer. Soon, five more rescues joined Pay, and our sanctuary was born. Friends, family, and the community eagerly pitched in to help care for the ‘grass puppies’ that bring so much joy to our pasture. By 2023, thanks to endless dedication and support for our ‘babies,’ Pay and Friends has grown into a sanctuary that provides a loving home to six sweet souls.
