Noggie
White Nosed Coatimundi

Noggie was a much loved pet at one time, but as he
matured he became more aggressive and unpredictable.  
His owner called Broadbent and ask if he could
have a home here at the Sanctuary.
Nogs has lived here for 3 years now and during warm
times of the year shares an outdoor habitat with a few
raccoons.
He enjoys them immensely!
If you are wondering about his previous owner....
she still calls to check on him every few months.
Gentleman & Baby
Rhesus Macaque

Gentleman and Baby were taken from their abusive owners
by the State of Kentucky and placed at Broadbent.  
When found, they were housed in an old outhouse
with over a foot of compacted animal waste in the floor.
They were terrified of people,
especially if they were wearing boots or camouflage
clothing.  We hate to think of what they endured
before coming to the Sanctuary.  

It makes you wonder how can people be so cruel?
Ostriches

We have been given a small herd of Ostriches
who were previously being raised
for the meat industry.

Many times when a business does not make
enough profit on herd animals they are left with
unneeded and unwanted livestock.

These Ostriches have a permanent home at
Broadbent.  The staff finds them quite
interesting and there eggs can be used
to feed to the other animals.
Water Fowl

Our Ducks and Geese  have come to us for many
different reasons.  Some were victims of animal
attacks, some were injured accidentally by
sportsman's fishing line left behind or boats,
and some were simply unwanted.
They now have a safe place and a pond of their own.
