Thelma turkey is the Tender Heart of our flock, a comforting presence and a friend to all. But Thelma’s more than just sweet; she’s also a survivor—a phoenix who rose from the ashes to start a new life…twice!
Soon after a rescuer saved Thelma from slaughter, wildfires put her home at risk. So, we welcomed Thelma with open arms, and this affectionate turkey happily swooped in for love.
Many days, Thelma is an explorer who roams her yard, and now that she’s an older gal, she has slower days when she rests in the barn. But one thing’s constant: Thelma cozies up with her snuggly friend, Serena turkey, each night for bedtime.
By joining Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Project, you will support the daily care of our rescued residents, like Thelma, and help us protect billions of farm animals from cruelty.
Thelma is so lovey that she follows us around to ask for attention—and she plops down in the grass for pets and snuggletime! We’re so lucky to have a friend like Thelma.
John, will you support one of the sweetest birds we’ve ever known? Your one-time $35 gift today will support Thelma’s ongoing care at Farm Sanctuary.
To show our gratitude, we’ll send you a digital or print adoption certificate featuring a photo of Thelma and her story. Adopt by November 17 to get your print certificate in time to display it on your holiday table.
Since 1986, Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Project has inspired thousands to choose a compassionate holiday tradition by supporting a turkey instead of eating one. Join us!
Thank you in advance for your kindness and support.
