I've been living in town for almost 20 years. Finally, went in here…read more I like everything about this place. I have no cats or dogs but have friends who do. So, I went for some cat gifts. As I came in I was greeted by a very mellow old dog who checked me out and wandered away. I was asked if I needed help. I flat-out told the man I didn't know where to start. He graciously pointed me to what they had, pointed out some popular items and was ready to answer any questions. But, that's not all. A very nice lady also pointed out some other items to me as well. They were pleasant and polite. They told me about the points program and signed me up. Prices were fair for the items I chose. I kinda want my own cat just to go back there. These folks are great.

The owner rocked. Caught a really rambunctious wrasse for me. Very personable. Highly recommend!read more

My husband and I adopted an older cat from this shelter last year. All of the cats looked in great…read morehealth and the staff were giving them plenty of affection. We had already picked out a cat from the shelter's internet site. The cat had previously been mistreated and was extremely fearful of people, but we wanted to give her a quiet, caring home. The shelter employees took the time to get to know us and determine whether we would be a good match for a cat with such a history, and we learned that another prospective owner had already been turned down. I was impressed by this, because the shelter could just as easily have taken the first interested owner in an effort to get rid of this "problematic" cat. Metrowest gave us our cat's favorite toy and bed when we took her home, and called a couple of times over the next weeks to make sure things were working out. They definitely care for their kitties!

It was heartbreaking hearing some of their stories, but so blessed to see they're happy and can live out their lives in peace. The tour guides were wonderful! Very informative and we were able to tour the farm and see many animals. There are cows, pigs, goats, chickens, geese, llamas, and more! The goats are so cute, and you're able to pet them freely. I highly recommend this place for any vegan looking for some animal loving or families looking for a fun and educated afternoon. Remember, this is a place that has saved many animals from being killed, not a petting zoo! It's wonderful!

When I told friends how we were going to visit a farm sanctuary, one of the first questions was…read moreusually, "What is a farm sanctuary?" A farm sanctuary is a kind of refuge for animals. Many of the animals are rescued from factory farms, from slaughter, abuse, or from abandonment. One of the things that distinguish Maple Farm Sanctuary is that it's the only sanctuary that was formerly a working farm. Jim and Cheri Vandersluis had a dramatic change of heart and a move of conscious that made it impossible for them to raise animals for slaughter. Their story is told in the documentary Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home. We visited Maple Farm Sanctuary on Father's Day and honestly I wasn't sure how my kids might respond. They're incredibly unpredictable. Would they enjoy the Farm Sanctuary? Would they be disturbed? Would they be frightened? Would they be bored? Would they complain? One of the things that make a farm sanctuary interesting and a sometimes troubling is that most of the animals have a story. Many of the stories are tragic and sad. These are stories of how the animals were often mistreated and treated inhumanely and how they eventually found a home here. It should also be said that while our guides at the Maple Farm Sanctuary were more than willing to share the stories of these animals in detail if asked, they were also sensitive to the presence of our small children. One sheep Tara Ann was rescued from three women who were beating her with sticks. Apparently these women didn't see anything wrong with beating an animal they were going to eat anyway. A Holstein cow Cassie, was raised in almost complete darkness for much of her early life. Her owners were just waiting for the day when they could bring her to slaughter. In Cassie's case, she did something remarkable, which rarely happens. She escaped the slaughterhouse by jumping a six foot high fence. One of the sad things about Cassie is that because of her experience, she suffered a great emotional trauma. As a result, she doesn't like open spaces and doesn't like spending time with other cows. Our guides shared about Cassie's story and about her slow recovery. We enjoyed feeding Cassie some carrots. Although, the stories of the animals were often troubling, it was somehow reassuring to know that they at least found a home here, where they can play, live and grow old. From my own perspective, the animals at the Maple Farm Sanctuary seemed genuinely happy. They were free to walk about and socialize and express normal animal behavior. The nature of life is that sometimes we don't experience a happy endings, but for these animals they found something of that happy ending. The animals that were most beloved by my own children were the goats and the llamas. The goats were incredibly friendly and affectionate. Although, you had to watch them, because otherwise they might nibble on your clothes. Overall the entire family had a great time at the Maple Farm Sanctuary. In fact, our youngest who is never shy about complaining, offered her highest praise when she said that she wanted to come back again.

There were 5 large rabbits each in tiny cages, and one of the Holland lop rabbits for sale had an eye infection. The tanks were dirty, and the entire shop looked shabby and depressing.

Heartbreaking, I hope the care improves.
