Share with your friends!

Thanks so much, Tami Roy, for generously sponsoring this amazing day and getting one of our biggest celebrations of the year off to a special start. Queen Negra is turning 49 today!

“Happy Birthday dear Negra! You are beautiful inside and out, and I know you are an inspiration to the others. We all love you so much! Have a wonderful day!”

We truly appreciate you thinking of Negra and making her day extra wonderful, Tami!

It’s a big day here at the sanctuary! In addition to Negra’s honorary birthday, Terry is turning 33 AND it’s the anniversary of Negra and her group’s arrival to their sanctuary home fourteen years ago, all of which we are celebrating together this year as The Trifecta Jubilee!

We love you, Neggie! May you reign long, well, happy and full of your very occasional, very loved Hawaiian rolls. Negra during her recent recovery:

We always know spring has fully arrived when Negra makes her appearance on Young’s Hill to collect fresh grass:

It’s the only time of year we often lose sight of her:

Until her royal nest calls:

Be sure to tune in later today for the grand celebration and another wonderful Sponsor a Day!

    Thank you, Tami, for your sponsorship, and Katelyn for your fabulous photo choices! I can just imagine Neggie roaming far and wide looking for the just right tasty green morsel. Her freedom to be able to do that warms my soul. And her fabulous, cozy nests await her always. She truly knows how to live her best life these days. I’m deeply grateful she (and all of the gang) have those opportunities. It just slays me that she makes a pillow to support her head! Maybe they all do and I’ve not noticed but we have to admit Negra knows how to make herself cozy!

    Thank you Tami! for highlighting our dearest Negra, truly the darling of CSNW.

    I’m curious, when did she first become Queen?

      I think she was born that way….blue blood !

      Maybe the first time she put the blanket over her head…or, if you watch the party video, the first time she gently shoved someone off “her” lunch seat on the scale!
