Latest Happenings at Iron Horse Sanctuary
Iron Horse Sanctuary, a nonprofit dedicated to improving animal welfare and ending cruelty, is hosting a Dance Party Benefit to support its growing barn cat population.
The event will take place on Saturday, February 15th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Mountain Lake Park
Lodge.
The celebration will feature dancing, a silent auction, raffles, kids’ activities, snacks, and beverages, all aimed at raising funds for over 35 cats recently rescued from a colony in Pine Island. This large-scale rescue effort, which more than doubled the sanctuary’s original cat population, follows the relocation of a colony of over 70 cats living in unsafe conditions in the Pine Island area.
For over 9 months, the local shelter and volunteers worked tirelessly to trap, vet, and care for the cats. While many were placed into homes or shelters with adoption potential, others—due to their temperament—had to be returned to the site. Iron Horse Sanctuary stepped in to rescue over 35 of these cats, offering them a safe, loving environment where they can roam freely on the farm, enjoy sunbeams, and receive the veterinary care they need.

4 Horses Get Redemption at Iron Horse Sanctuary
4 horses locked in their stalls since 2017 finally get redemption with Iron Horse Sanctuary.
Six long years locked away in stalls. No turnout, no contact with other animals. Day and night in solitary confinement.
Deprived of contact and sight with any other horses they relied on their hearing for herd comfort. A torturous existence for such beautiful creatures. They are safe now.
The thoroughbred stallion (Pip) suffered the most as his poor body slowly deteriorated and most of his muscle wasted away. He was barely able to turn his body in his tiny stall.
We are facing major care and veterinary bills with the stallion Pip. He is one of four horses rescued from Montrose, PA. Their plight was awful and no other rescues contacted in PA and NY were able to step up for them. We are full at IHS but we made room for the two critical cases and fostered the other two to a kind individual in upstate NY.
We welcome any donation of any size. Every penny will help Pip and Thor on their road to recovery. Please visit https://ironhorsesanctuary.org/donate and click on the donate button. We also welcome checks to our 2155 State Route 17A Goshen Ny address!
Today we welcomed students and teachers from Orange Ulster Boces
