Baby Cow Cuddling is a great way to connect to, relax and love a baby cow. Cows are very sweet, affectionate animals that love to kiss and cuddle. Their heart rate is slower than humans, so it tends to help people relax. They love chin rubs. They will often chew their cud while they cuddle with you which is very calming. Cows do this when they are relaxed and happy. Animals have a gift to help humans relax and heal. Most people when in the presence of an animal, especially a new one, tend to be in the present moment - no worrying about anything and oxytocin is released which makes them feel good. Not only is cow cuddling fun, it is also healing and healthy. Age requirement is 7 and older. Thank you
Come enjoy a private session of baby goat cuddling! They are just a few weeks old and absolutely love attention! The baby goats love to jump on your back. When they get tired, they will fall asleep in your arms. It is so important for these babies to get love and attention.
Being with animals can help a child's self esteem and confidence. Taking part in feeding them can give them a sense of responsibility. Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure. Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood.

In the company of these loving creatures, you find solace, companionship, and a renewed sense of inner balance. It's a simple yet profound reminder of the healing power of nature's embrace, and the profound bond that exists between humans and animals.
KITTEN CUDDLING ON HOLD! Kittens have been adopted!!
We have the cutest, most playful and snuggly kittens! They love to play and snuggle! They are also available for adoption!
The kittens are very young and delicate. They need to be handled in the most loving, gentle, and caring way. These sessions need to be quiet and serene. Parents, please keep this in mind when booking this session.
*This activity is likely not ideal for children under 5.*
There are actually some very tangible benefits to cuddling cats. Studies show that hugging a kitty can lower blood pressure, and help people cope with loneliness, depression, anxiety, and stress.
Studies show that positive interactions with people keep cats healthier, so you are helping the cats too!
