PAY AND FRIENDS, INC.
Provide a loving, safe sanctuary for cows rescued from the slaughterhouse and promote compassion for animals through rescue, lifelong care, community engagement, and education.
About PAY AND FRIENDS, INC.
Pay and Friends, Inc. is a small 501(c)(3) animal sanctuary founded from a rescue that began in 2018 and officially established as a nonprofit in April 2023. The organization cares for a small herd of rescued cows (commonly referred to as “The Babies”) and maintains year‑round husbandry including feed, veterinary care, hoof maintenance, shelter, and enrichment.
Since formal organization in 2023 the sanctuary has focused on long‑term care rather than rehoming, supports community engagement through on‑site visits and donation drives, and runs seasonal fundraising and visitor events to cover ongoing costs such as hay, veterinary bills, bedding and infrastructure repairs.
