Sponsor Monti

Monti's journey began when he was found wandering the streets all alone, suffering from a painful eye infection that ultimately took his right eye. But his luck changed forever when one of our caregivers discovered him and brought him to safety. Monti is truly one of the luckiest turkeys in the world!

Sponsor Benjamin

Benjamin is the most dominant turkey at the sanctuary. He came to us when his caregiver had to go into assisted living. He missed his caregiver with all his heart but he has finally found true love and friendship with his new friends, Norman and Monti.

Sponsor Norman

Norman is one of our shyest turkeys, and at 10 years old, he proudly holds the title of our senior gentleman. Rescued from a production facility, he would have faced a grim fate as someone's Thanksgiving dinner. Now, he enjoys a peaceful life alongside his best buddies, Benjamin and Monti, who are always right by his side.

Sponsor The Whole Flock

This November, we aim to provide extra treats and a warm, cozy environment for our turkeys, ensuring they thrive throughout the colder months. With your continued support, we can purchase warm straw to keep them comfortable and offer them the love and care they deserve. Your donation directly impacts their well-being and happiness, and together, we can create a safe haven for them. Can we count on you to make a special ongoing donation to help support our cherished flock?

Did You Know...

Each year, 46 million turkeys are slaughtered in the United States for Thanksgiving. Many of these birds suffer in overcrowded conditions on factory farms, enduring painful procedures like debeaking and toe removal without anesthesia. These sentient beings deserve far better treatment.

Since 2015, Tamerlaine Sanctuary’s Adopt a Turkey Project has inspired people to symbolically adopt a turkey for Thanksgiving instead of consuming one. This cherished campaign showcases the unique personalities and intelligence of turkeys while shedding light on the abuse they endure in our exploitative food system, reaching millions with its message of compassion. By contributing today, you can symbolically adopt a rescued turkey at Tamerlaine Sanctuary or enhance your impact by sponsoring this year’s featured flock of three.
