Freddy’s guardians worried for his safety when he repeatedly escaped his enclosure, so he came to live at Farm Sanctuary, where he’d be safer. Here, he joined a flock of sheep that also includes a few shy, gentle goats like Freddy.
Cali arrived six years later, after losing her best goat friend. Her guardians knew she needed a companion, so they contacted Farm Sanctuary. The heartbroken Cali remained depressed through her short quarantine period away from the other goats. But that would change quickly.
When we introduced Cali to our flock, she perked up the moment she spotted Freddy, a fellow goat, among the sheep. Though Freddy was hesitant at first, for Cali, it was love at first sight. She patiently and persistently won his friendship, and the two became inseparable. They ate together, lounged beside each other, and slept side by side. Cali found the companionship she had been desperately missing, and, with her support, Freddy grew more confident and comfortable every day.
Recently, we had to say goodbye to sweet Freddy. His loss has been deeply felt by everyone, especially Cali—and we’re grateful she has the rest of her flock of sheep and goats to provide solace.
