Meet Spot

Spot is one of our cherished Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys who found her way to Ahimsa Safe Haven under challenging circumstances. Originally bred for meat production, Spot faced neglect when a severe foot infection was left untreated by her previous home. Recognizing her need for immediate care, we welcomed Spot and her companion, Coretta, into our sanctuary family.

From the moment she arrived, Spot's affectionate nature was evident. She loves to snuggle, often leaning against us to demand attention, and finds comfort resting her head under our chins. Her favorite treat is blueberries, which she eagerly enjoys. Despite her past hardships, Spot has a feisty spirit and a loving heart.

Spot's foot condition, diagnosed as severe bumblefoot that had progressed to her bone, required extensive medical attention. With daily foot soaks, specialized footwear to alleviate pressure, and a regimen of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, Spot has shown remarkable resilience. Visits to avian specialists have provided hope, indicating that while her foot may remain misshapen, the infection is no longer active. Throughout her treatment, Spot's bravery and trust have been truly inspiring.

Now, Spot enjoys her days alongside Coretta, engaging in playful chases with our resident guineas, James and Tula. She has adapted well to her new environment, showing a preference for warmer weather and cozy snuggles. Spot's journey from neglect to a life filled with care and affection embodies the mission of Ahimsa Safe Haven: to provide a safe and loving environment for all beings.

Your generosity enables us to continue providing Spot with the specialized care she needs. By sponsoring Spot, you're helping us ensure she lives a comfortable and happy life.
