Why hello there!

Hello and welcome to my blog, Homestead Houston. I run a small hobby farm and animal rescue/sanctuary. We are currently caring for over 100 animals from ducks to dogs, and almost everything in between. (The ducks are my personal favorites, but don't tell the others that as they all get butt-hurt!)

I initially began this blog as a way to document our lives and happenings on the homestead, but have become so busy lately with rescuing and fostering kittens. We currently have 14 cats/kittens in our care, 5 of our own, the rest are fosters. I rescued them all on my own, and we are caring for them out of our own pocket. I am hoping to get funding from a local animal rescue as long as I continue to foster, so fingers crossed!

My mission to rescue animals began with one neglected duck. I quickly realized how many ducks, not to mention other creatures, that were out there who needed my help. With the help of friends and a lot of nice people from Facebook groups, we built an awesome set up for the ducks and chickens (almost all for free!). We are always expanding, hoping to eventually add goats and sheep to the mix.

We don't eat our animals, instead we offer them a sanctuary to live out their lives freely and happily. We do sell the extra eggs as well as adopt out kittens to proper homes once we fully vet them and have them spayed/neutered. In the spring I plan on selling the chicks and ducklings, which are inevitably going to be born with all the males I have around here!

I look forward to seeing you back here as I start blogging daily, as well as reviewing some cool products! I have a lot of things in store, including some awesome giveaways, so be on the look out! :)
