More than 100 animals call Fluffy Cow Farms in Melrose, FL home, and every one of them has a story. Some were rescued from neglect, some were found as babies, and one fluffy Highland cow started the whole farm. Meet a few of the residents below, many in their own words, then come say hello in person.
Jett, Our Fluffy Highland Cow
Jett is the heart of Fluffy Cow Farms. He has thick red fur, big doe eyes, and a gentle nature that draws people to him like a magnet. He stands only about 36 inches tall at the shoulder and often lies down for cuddles once the excitement of treats wears off.
In Jett's Words
"Hi! I am Jett, and my family originated in Scotland. That is why I'm so fluffy, because the weather there is cold and rainy. It's also why my personality is so gentle and sweet! People say I'm cuter than a bug, and I believe it. I'm here to help raise funds for my cow and animal friends. It costs a lot to care for over 100 animals, so your help means a lot to us. I love to cuddle!"
Jett's Favorite Things
Jett loves bananas, visitors, and a good snuggle. His sponsors receive a complimentary cuddle session with him after three months of support.
The Cow Herd
Beyond Jett, our main herd includes cows of every size, and our baby cows love cuddles too. Each one came to us with a story that shows why kindness matters.
Tinsel, Not a Decoration
"I was on the dead pile at an auction with my friend Holly. That's where animals who are too weak to walk through the auction end up, but we were not dead! We were just a few days old. It was Christmas time, a time when folks were supposed to be kind. We never even got to meet our mom or taste the milk she had for us. Please choose milk made from plants, so it isn't taken from helpless baby cows."
Latte and Her Baby
Latte is a beautiful, sweet mini cow who came to us with her calf as a neglect case. We did not realize Latte was pregnant until a darling little surprise arrived. You can be their hero by sponsoring their care.
Pigs, Turkeys and Farmyard Friends
Our pigs and turkeys are some of the most entertaining residents on the farm. Bring a snack and a sense of humor.
The piggies are all rescued along with the birds, the big brown and white turkey loves to be hugged. They puff up and show off but they are very gentle and they enjoy blueberries, grapes and small snacks. There's nothing like a picture hugging a turkey to share with friends and family!
01
Poppy the Pig
"I am hungry all the time! Yep, I never get enough to eat around here, but other than that, this is a great place to be a pig. I talk a lot. I just want to make sure the people don't forget me if they have any snackies. I was dumped by folks who said they loved me, and I was so sad, scared, and hungry. Now I always know I'm going to get something to eat. I just wish it was all the time!"
02
Billy Bob the Turkey
"I'm a big deal around here. You'll know it as soon as you see me! I love strutting around and telling everyone who's boss with my gobble-gobbling. I dare you to gobble! I'm a tom turkey, and I'm here with my four partners. We came here when our home was invaded by a bobcat. We're the lucky ones!"
03
Leo the Lover
"I lived at a school and loved it. I got to visit lots of kids every day, until one night some older kids threw rocks at me and my friends. After that terrible night, some nice teachers brought us here. I'm still a lover, and I can't wait to meet you! Don't forget to save a snackie for me."
Aurora, Chewy and Gabby
Some of our residents arrived needing extra care, and some arrived as bundles of joy. All of them love visitors who bring carrots.
Aurora and Chewy
"We were sold to a lady who couldn't take care of us properly. She didn't brush us or anything. My coat was one big mat, and Aurora had a hurting eye that made her cry all the time. Here, I got a body clip and felt so much better, and Aurora had her eye removed. Now she feels great, no more tears! We can't wait to meet you. Don't forget the carrots!"
Gabby the Mini Horse
Gabby is our adorable little mini horse, born in 2024 and as cute as a bug. She is one of the youngest members of the farm family and never fails to draw a crowd.
Dexter the Dinky Donkey
he is HUGE, there are lots of pictures of people hugging him, he is a doll and the cutest thing since fluffy cows! People are going crazy for him. Dexter is my baby donkey who came to help protect the animals. He's tiny and he's sweet as apple pie! He loves hugs and snuggles and enjoys treats. Guests are welcome to bring snacks or buy them here.
The Farm Guardians and House Crew
Every farm needs a team that keeps things running. Ours has four legs and a lot of personality.
Rocky and Bear
"My brother Bear and I have a super important job. We keep the predators away! Panthers, bears, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and more. Just being here is usually enough, but if not, our large size and ferocious bark do the trick. We love visitors after we're introduced."
Ginger and Gracie
"We are Ginger and Gracie, the Chiweenie sisters, and we are the bosses around here! You can rub our bellies and pet us, but please don't give us treats. Gracie has a very sensitive tummy. We love running all day and making sure everyone behaves."
Carley the Cat
"I was found as a little kitten, lost as could be. Now I have fun all day, eating lots of delicious food and treats. When I'm not eating, I like to follow people around. You may not see me when you visit, but rest assured, I'm watching you!"
