Kate is the co-founder and manager of Little Oak Sanctuary and is deeply committed to promoting compassion and justice for farmed animals. Kate's journey into animal advocacy began in 2011 when herself and partner James were moved by an exposé on the live export industry by Animals Australia.
This revelation led them to explore the realities of animal agriculture in Australia, which then led them to adopting a vegan lifestyle. As they lived on a small rural block of land, they began rescuing animals in need, including two tiny piglets who profoundly touched their lives.
The sanctuary, founded in 2013, was inspired by one of these piglets, Little Timmy, who sadly lost his life after suffering a seizure at about 6 months of age. Kate and James honoured the memory of his strength and character by planting an oak tree over his grave.
His spirit continues to guide their mission; to plant seeds of compassion in the community through sharing the individual stories of farmed animals, who are so rarely seen as the individuals they are.
