Cathy's Critters — Attraction in Princeton

UNSAFE!! RISK OF INJURY!! Unsupervised animals and facilities. They tell you the animals are safe to pet, but don't mention that some of them are aggressive. My wife was attacked by one of the large male sheep. It happened suddenly and without warning or provocation. It approached in a seemingly harmless manner, but when my wife's cup ran out of food, it clearly became frustrated, and it charged my wife too fast to react. It hit her with its head down directly below her stomach, in her center of gravity, with the force of full-grown person attacking someone. It knocked her back, up off her feet, and she slammed into the fence and down onto the dirt. It was the most shocking, frightening, and enraging experience I've ever had. Seeing my wife get attacked and knocked down like that is something you want to experience. The most heart-wrenching part is that my son had to watch his mom get clobbered right in front of him. I'll post a clip so you can see how big the animal was compared to my wife and understand how quickly it happened with no time for anyone to react. To add insult to injury, I mean this literally, not figuratively, when I talked to the supervisor to suggest they make improvements for people's safety, she had the nerve to say... "well, they're animals"... " you signed a waiver". I was furious. I wasn't trying to get anything out of them other than acknowledgement that there is room for improvement, but she would rather take offense than responsibility. No apology, no concern for my wife's safety. She didn't even ask if my wife was ok. Just a blank stare and cold responses. WOW! The lady who took our payment at the register was the only one who seemed to care that my wife was hurt, but you could see in her eyes she felt like her hands were tied and there wasn't anything should could do to make...

I went here with my two daughters, ages 3 and 4, another mom and her 4 year old twins. We were greeted kindly and since my 3 year old was scared of a roaming animals, a nice employee brought over a very gentle little baby chick for us to pet and acclimate ourselves to the environment. Unfortunately, there seemed to be one grumpy lady sort of shadowing us the whole time. Once, she told the pony guide that he was guiding on the wrong side, which really seemed to throw him off, since he and the pony were doing fine. Another time, this lady brought the milk bottles over and called for kids to line up to feed the goats, but as our kids lined up first, she corrected her call to "older kids", since the goats can be forceful when drinking from bottles. When she upset our children, she said we could try to find a bottle and share it amongst ourselves. I was disappointed that when I looked around all the older kids were also white kids. It was hard to feel like she wasn't discriminating, since she could have offered our younger kids a bottle to share first, rather than tell us to fend for ourselves in finding a bottle for our "younger kids". Later, we were letting the kids take turns using the restroom, this lady came into the reptile cabin where the restrooms were held trying to tell the employees they were doing something wrong, only to find no problems. It seems she thought our very presence there was...

I can honestly say I have never seen anything so terrible. The animals are starved, crammed in small cages, and thrown around like disposable garbage. When animals get sick, they do not get help. They get thrown in a cage or stall to rot and die. Baby chicks trample each other to death because hundreds are shoved in a small coop they can barely move in. Horses are fed 2 cups of food a day in a pasture of mud and barely any grass. Their ribs are showing, and there is even a dead horse in the back pasture with the other horses. The body has been there for a while. And even a goat too. When animals die they are left there most of the time. A goat got her head stuck in a gate and died I told cathy about it because I was unable to get her out. She was left there for 3 days. She was also pregnant The bunnies and Guineas are in small cages with a lot of animals so they can barely move. The freaking ferrets are in a 2 by 2 one story cage. There are nails, sheet metal and broken glass everywhere around the farm. Cathy loves the animals not because they are living beautiful creatures but because she can make a quick buck off of them. But to her they are disposable. All they see is a price tag on these sweet beautiful animals. So go ahead, go to this farm. If you want to support animal neglect...
