CAS
Catskill Animal Sanctuary
Eating animals is a spiritual death. There's so very much sorrow behind a few seconds of good taste. Whether we're a cow or a dog, a chicken or a human, we all long for happiness.

Adopting an Animal

Catskill Animal Sanctuary provides a loving place for our animals to recover from the abuse and neglect they suffered before they came to us. But for most of these animals, CAS is not a permanent home. Every week, our waiting list for animals that need our attention grows longer.

We have space for 250 animals, but we've helped over 1600. That's because, after our animals are rehabilitated, we find loving new homes for them. This frees up space that allows us to take the next animals on the waiting list.

Maybe your home could be one of those loving new homes. We have high standards for anyone who would adopt one of our animals. But the fact that you're reading this is the first sign that you might be a good candidate.

Meet the Animals Available for Adoption

If you've visited the farm, then you might have an animal or two in mind. If not, you can meet some of the animals available for adoption here on our website:

Meet our animals who are ready for adoption

Given our requirement that we inspect your property prior to adoption, we can only place our animals at homes within a 2-hour drive from Saugerties, NY. Exceptions may occasionally be made for extremely hard-to-place animals.
