This Mother's Day, the greatest gift for Liberty cow, Mia pig, and Katie sheep is simply having the rare opportunity to care for their children.
Just like people, farm animal mothers form loving, protective relationships with their babies when given the chance. Sadly, the animal agriculture industry thrives on separating farm animal families, denying them the opportunity to experience these basic nurturing bonds.
These three resilient mothers all survived cruelty in the industry, but can now nurture their children-the first that they could ever raise-at Farm Sanctuary in peace.
This Mother's Day, help us honor their journeys and our work to save more families like theirs.
"Adopt" and sponsor a farm animal mother and her family today!
For a one-time donation of $35, you can support a rescued animal family through our Adopt a Farm Animal Program. These "symbolic adoptions" fund their lifelong care, as well as our work to end farm animal cruelty.
Meet the loving moms you can adopt this Mother's Day:
Liberty & Indigo
Motherhood saved Liberty's life. The Wagyu cow was already at the slaughterhouse when she gave birth to her daughter, Indigo. In most cases, mother and baby would have faced the kill floor regardless, in order to be "processed" for beef. But the president and CEO of Manning Beef thought Indigo and Liberty deserved a chance. With help from actor and activist Joaquin Phoenix, we welcomed the pair to our Southern California shelter. This is Liberty's first Mother's Day, and we look forward to many more to come!

Mia & Her Family
Motherhood is a vital part of Mia's identity. As a former "breeding sow" on a pig farm, she had likely lost children to slaughter. Others had died from neglect; the owner of the farm had left his 80+ pigs without proper food, shelter, or basic care. But all Mia wanted was to love and raise her family-and at Farm Sanctuary, she can do just that. Woody, Wayne, Crawford, Helena, and Iman are the first piglets she could ever watch grow up. With Mia as their protector, this tight family loves to explore by day and snuggle close each night.

Katie & Her Twins
At the time of her rescue, Katie was so malnourished from neglect that she could barely feed her two-month old twins. We learned about the trio-along with Katie's partner, Kevin-from their former guardians, who had trouble taking care of them. They initially purchased Katie and Kevin from a sheep breeding facility. Thankfully, instead of facing slaughter-or becoming "breeding ewes" like their mother-Josie and Maple will grow up at Farm Sanctuary with their mother and father by their side. Katie also serves as the "Barn Mom," taking newcomer orphaned lambs under her wing.
