Athena the cow, living in sanctuary at The Gentle Barn California

Athena the cow, living in sanctuary at The Gentle Barn California

Athena was rescued from a backyard butcher along with many other animals. They were brought to us by local animal control after it was shut down. She was sick, riddled with parasites, covered in scars, and absolutely terrified of humans.

Once her body recovered at our Sun Chlorella Healing Center, we brought her to our main location to learn to trust us. In time, she learned not only that we love her, but how to be an amazing ambassador. Now she's gentle, soft spoken, and shy, but she allows Sunday guests to hug and cuddle her for hours.
