About Us

501C3

From the beginning, we personally funded the care of every animal here—from feed and immunizations to vet visits and farrier work. As our sanctuary has grown and more animals have come to rely on us, we realized we could do even more with the help of others who share our passion for animal welfare. That’s why, in 2025, we became a 501c3b non-profit organization. This allows us to welcome support from donors, expand our impact, and continue giving animals the lifelong care they deserve.

Thank you to our corporate donor, Oliver's Corner Market! We named our new donkey, Ollie, after Oliver's!

Hi everyone! My name is Cat, and I am an animal lover & advocate. I'm the assistant farm manager at Kitzman's Farm Sanctuary & Harmony Hills Animal Sanctuary, as well as a wildlife rehabber for Illinois.

I've worked with animals throughout my entire life; I have experience with all farm animals, as well as raccoons, otters, fox, deer, and so many more! I'm a self taught farrier, and I know how to vaccinate/medicate animals. Currently I am in school to be a vet tech, and I hope to further my career by becoming a vet for the sanctuaries I work at. When I'm not hanging out with animals I love to draw, paint, and do tattoos! :)
