Alan and Sheree Napier along with their three children Melissa,
Heather and Alana opened their Bradenton family farm to the animals
of Napier's Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary, inc. The
sanctuary provides temporary homes and rehabilitation for horses,
pigs, chickens, dogs and cats until permanent adoptive homes
can be found. The sanctuary, a 10 acre farm, sometimes provides
permanent homes to animals that cannot be adopted out for various
reasons.
Jack & Hawk, personally owned by the Napiers, provide horseback
rides to anyone interested. People may ride them around the trail
on the property. It's also a great place for a child's birthday
party, school outing, scout outing, any group or family outing.
Educational material can be provided on the animals geared toward
the age group and animal studied. Proceeds from the rides benefit
the animals at the sanctuary. To schedule a time for rides or
group visits, please call the sanctuary at 941-750-8185.
Residing at the sanctuary are potbelly pigs Miss Piggy, Charlotte,
Wilbur, Princess Fiona, Templeton and Hannah. These little gals
and guy came to the sanctuary after growing too large to be kept
by their previous owners. They love to be petted and fed snacks.
They will beg and tell you how much they appreciate your attention.
Unfortunately, when born they are very cute and small, only to
grow up to be too large to be allowed in the city. If you live
in an area that allows farm animals, please call and adopt us!
Two rescued horses remain permanently at the sanctuary that need
sponsoring. Neither horse is rideable or adoptable. (Lucy - a
TB born missing an eye & Jazzabelle - an Appy that was beaten
so bad she is terrified around other people that she does not
know). Sponsors will receive progress reports and updated photos
by email.

Jack & Hawk are owned
by the Napiers and were donated to the sanctuary to provide horseback
rides for anyone interested.

Animal Sanctuary Holds Cat Adoption Event
Every Month
Napier's Log Cabin Horse & Animal Sanctuary will hold an
adoption event every month, from 11 a.m. to
1 p.m. at Tractor Supply, 4404 East SR 64, Bradenton. Call
for next date, (941) 750-8185.
Several cats will be there for adoption. A select
dog and/or puppy will also be there. Come see what the Sanctuary
has to offer and learn what it does for the community and animals
needing homes. Brochures and newsletters will be available with
information and photos of available animals for adoption.
Cats and most kittens for adoption have shots including Rabies,
are spayed or neutered, FIV/Leuk. neg., have 30-days of free
pet insurance for illnesses and are microchipped for ID. They
also come with take home adoption goodie bags filled with food
samples, coupons, brochures and a training video. Most cats are
$45; most kittens and declawed cats are $75 adoption donation.
Adoption donations help cover the costs of the above items and
for the care and feeding of all of the animals at the Sanctuary.
Wish list: Dog and cat food, leashes, collars, 50lb. bags of
10% sweet feed for horses, bags of beet pulp, rabbit food, chicken
food, 50lb. bags of bran, bales of hay, or Tractor Supply or
WalMart gift cards for pet supplies.
Adoption donations help pay for emergency
vet bills, shots, worming, spaying/neutering, microchipping,
coggins for horses, food, shelter, transportation, transfer fees
to save them from high-kill shelters or auctions, heartworm testing
and monthly prevention. Some animals require more money and time
from sicknesses or some are unadoptable and need care for life.
The Sanctuary needs all the donations an animal is able to bring
in as the money is used for ALL the animals to provide the above
services. While vet care is provided at reduced rates thanks
to generous vets that work with us, it still is expensive!
VETERNARIANS USED BY THE SANCTUARY:
Dr. Butler, Bradenton Small Animal Hospital (dogs, cats, ferrets,
rabbits)
Dr. William Whitler (Dr. Bill) of Solasassa Veterinary Services,
Sarasota (horses, pigs, goats, farm pets)
ADOPTION DONATIONS: Most large mixed breed dogs are $150; most
small mixed breed dogs are $185; most large mixed breed puppies
are $185; most small mixed breed puppies are $299; and most purebred
CKC registered small breed puppies are $555. Puppies require
the most care starting with 1st shots at 6 weeks and will continue
to receive age appropriate shots and worming until 12 weeks of
age (or adoption), where at this time most puppies can be spayed/neutered,
will have three sets of puppy shots including Rabies, de-wormed,
microchipped for ID, on heartworm prevention and FREE 30-days
pet insurance for unforseen illnesses.
HORSE ADOPTION DONATIONS: Most horses are $950; most drafts are
$1,600; and most foals are $750 adoption donation.
Most people do not realize how expensive it is to save the life
of a horse. Most of the horses come to the Sanctuary so skinny
from lack of food and/or neglect that it takes a minimum of 6
months to just begin to look like a "real horse" again,
are unwanted since they are seriously injured and no longer rideable
or the owners can not afford to provide medical care for an illness.
The vet visit for Coggins, shots including Rabies + West Nile,
de-worming, microchipping plus add in the cost of feed, hay and
supplements brings the cost up to approx. $1,600 spent to just
make the horse healthy and available for adoption. (Drafts like
to eat even more!)
 
FOALS - Yearlings & 2-Year-Olds:
"SUGAR" 2-year-old
QH filly available for $750 adoption donation. "BRANDY"
yearling QH filly available for $750 adoption donation. "PMU
PEGGY" 13-year-old Black Percheron mare available for
$1,400 adoption donation. All will have negative Coggins, microchipped
for ID, feet trimmed, shots.
Special Thanks to a group dedicated to saving horses from slaughter
for their support and donations to help save the PMU horses!
