This must be heaven! 😇👼 #touchthesky #cottonbranch #newlaunch

Hope everyone’s having a wonderful day! A lazy afternoon after a busy morning of volunteers painting and sharing pumpkins. So thankful for our Cotton Branch family! You’re welcome any day, 365 days a year. Shifts are posted through 2027: CottonBranch.org/volunteer

Fall is here. Levi would like to speak to whoever decided pool season was over. 🐷🍂 He has mud, sunshine, and absolutely nowhere to be. But life wasn’t always this peaceful. Take 30 seconds to hear his story and see what your kindness makes possible. 🤎 #CottonBranch #PigSanctuary #AnimalRescue

Bright sunshine, a little chill, and pigs who would like to know why breakfast doesn’t come with heated blankets. ☀️🐷🍂 Good morning from Cotton Branch! How’s everyone feeling today?!? Up and ready, or negotiating five more minutes under the covers? ❤️ #CottonBranch #FallMornings #PigLove

Good night from Darè. 🐷🌙 Sleep well, be gentle with yourself, and remember to make your own care a priority, too. You deserve the kindness you give to others. 💚 #GoodNight #SelfCare #CottonBranchRefugeProject

At some point, “my space” quietly becomes “our space,” and then eventually you’re just grateful they left you a corner. #PigLife #PigParents #CottonBranch

Our new Cotton Branch website was set to launch tonight, but bugs crashed the party. Rude. 🐛😂 Hoping for later tonight or tomorrow morning! Meanwhile, Clover and Jolene are busy doing absolutely nothing. Unrelated to the website. Absolutely worth sharing. 🐷❤️

Romance is nice, but have you ever walked into the room carrying fruit? That’s the kind of devotion we’re talking about. #PigHumor #PigParents #CottonBranch

Pumpkin, peanut butter, soybean meal: daily protein bombs for pigs who need extra nutrition, at AM and PM feedings. 🐷🧡 Help through our Amazon wish list. Thank y’all! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... #CottonBranch #WishlistWednesday #SupportSanctuaries

🎃 Cotton Branch needs 15 pumpkin donors! Five 15-oz cans each, about $8, covers 3 months of pumpkin for our homemade protein bombs. 🐷 Donate: a.co/8SciIxG Pumpkin Pig-Out: Sat. 10/17, 1 PM, Leesville, SC! givebutter.com/pumpkin2026

Mr. Piggles is slowly learning to trust. ❤️ His neuter helped, and we’re preparing for his Fantastic Four reunion. Clover is building trust with Jolene. They set the pace. Thank you, Cotton Branch family! Send him love and prayers. 🐷 #CottonBranch #FantasticFour #PigRescue

Micro pigs do not exist 🐷❤️ #cottonbranch #pigrescue #animalrescue

This Saturday, the pumpkins don’t stand a chance. 🎃🐷 Join us at Cotton Branch for The Great Pumpkin Pig-Out! Come celebrate fall with our rescued pigs, who will be demonstrating some wonderfully questionable table manners. 🧡 🎟️ Get your tickets: givebutter.com/pumpkin2026 #CottonBranch

So much confidence. Absolutely no reasonable explanation for those legs. 🐽😂 Tap to pause and discover your pig alter ego! This is a very serious personality assessment conducted by absolutely no qualified professionals. Tell us which pig you got! 👀

A new chapter starts October 15! 🐷✨ New website. New ways to give, get involved, and help animals across South Carolina and the Southeast. Get ready, y’all! ❤️ #CottonBranch #AnimalWelfare #CompassionInAction

Today’s forecast: rain with a 100% chance of snuggles. 🐷❤️ Jolene and Clover’s storm plan involves a cozy porch, a shared blanket, and absolutely no intention of getting up. 😂 We’re thankful we haven’t had much wind, and these two are riding out the rain tucked in beside someone they love. 🥰

Big snoot. Small ask: $5. 🐽 It’s Five Dollar Friday! Help Cotton Branch buy final supplies to limit erosion and protect our animals’ home before tonight’s heavy rain from the incoming hurricane!! Give now: paypal.me/cottonbranch

Experienced pig people know silence is not always peace. Sometimes it’s just the sound of a plan coming together. #PigParents #SmartPigs #CottonBranch

Hurricane Isaias, aka Iggy Azalea, has ruined our weekend plans. Here at Cotton Branch in the Southeast, we’re prepping for rain and shoring up erosion-prone spots tomorrow and this weekend. Our dirt wants to relocate. The pigs want dinner. We’d like a nap.

Our wishlist is nutty. Our pigs can locate a suspicious pill with the precision of a TSA agent. Everyone has questions. Everyone would like a second opinion from a pig whose medical credentials are “I smelled something.” Our goal is to have 10 people grab the peanut butter goodness! a.co/8SciIxG

Side effects may also include rearranging your entire life around tiny hoofed opinions and somehow being completely fine with it. #PigParents #RescuePigs #CottonBranch

This past Sunday, Josh shared how pigs can help people living with trauma feel safe and grounded. It’s part of why we’re building Safe Harbor Refuge Project, a future mental health program guided by licensed clinicians. We’re taking our time and doing it right. Listen to his story. ❤️🐷

Apparently the radical position is: Animals deserve kindness. Animals deserve safety. Animals deserve dignity. Their lives matter. Fine by us. 🐷❤️ RADICALIZED BY BASIC DECENCY. We’ve been radicalized by compassion. No recovery planned. 😂 👕 Shop: Cotton Branch Store⁠ #RadicalizedByBasicDecency

It starts with “just one pig.” Then somehow you’re rearranging your life around three… or seven. 😂🐷💗 If you know, you know. Pig math is VERY real. #PigLife #RescuePigs #CottonBranch

Your legacy is being written in ordinary encounters. It lives in who felt safer, seen, or less alone because you were here. That is a life worth building. 🕯️ How did your presence affect another life this week? #CottonBranch #LegacyOfCare #LeaveSafetyBehind

The light you carry was never meant to stop with you. Offer it through patience, truth, protection, or a simple act of care. Someone may find their way because you did. 🕯️ How will you pass it on today? #CottonBranch #CarryTheLight #PassItOn

Generosity should not require disappearing from your own life. Give what you can with an open heart, then honor the limits that keep your kindness sustainable. 💚 Where can care and capacity meet? #CottonBranch #GiveWithinYourMeans #SustainableKindness

We’ve been a little quiet because it’s been a WEEK. Between medical barn contractors and repair plans, we’ve had our hands full. Then Clover moved in with Jolene. Five minutes later: “Best friends?” “Best friends.” “Snack?” “Obviously.” 🐷❤️🐷 Sometimes friendship really is medicine.

Caring deeply can bruise the heart, but numbness is not the only protection. Rest, repair, and keep your compassion. The world needs it alive. 🐾 What helps restore your heart? #CottonBranch #KeepCaring #TenderHearted

Not everything beautiful must become yours. You can admire the sky, respect an animal, celebrate another person's gift, and let each remain free. Wonder does not require possession. 🌙 What beauty did you simply witness today? #CottonBranch #NoticeWithoutTaking #BeautyBelongs

Readiness often arrives after the first step, not before it. Begin with the courage you have, even if it feels small and borrowed. 🚶 What have you been waiting to feel ready for? #CottonBranch #StartBeforeReady #CourageBeginsHere

A new month does not require a new personality, perfect plan, or dramatic promise. Begin October as yourself, carrying what worked and loosening what did not. 🎃 What intention feels honest for this month? #CottonBranch #BeginFromHere #OctoberIntentions

Some days are not for conquering. They are for getting through without abandoning yourself. If today is heavy, surviving it with tenderness is enough. 💙 What do you need to make this day gentler? #CottonBranch #HardDaysCountToo #SurvivingIsEnough

As September closes, thank the version of you who carried all its ordinary burdens. You may not have handled every moment perfectly, but you brought yourself here. 🍂 What would you tell the person you were one month ago? #CottonBranch #ThankYourPastSelf #MonthEndReflection

Wishless Wednesday, Cotton Branch family! 🐷 Can 10 people buy omeprazole from our Amazon wish list today? We use it daily, and an omeprazole delivery makes us embarrassingly happy. 😂 https://f.mtr.cool/fpzlskgxvy Thank you for caring for these amazing animals. 💚

Purpose is not always a grand calling. It may be feeding someone, protecting one vulnerable life, or making one corner of the world less cruel. 🐷 What small act feels meaningful to you today? #CottonBranch #PurposeInTheSmall #SmallActsMatter

You do not have to wait until you are overwhelmed to admit you need care. Hunger, exhaustion, loneliness, and fear are messages, not moral failures. Listen before they must shout. 🫶 What need have you been minimizing? #CottonBranch #NameWhatYouNeed #CareBeforeCrisis

T-Shirt Tuesday is officially a thing. 😂 From now through GivingTuesday: 10 Tuesdays, 10 new Cotton Branch designs. #1: human · kind (be both) Black, Blue Jean, Ivory, Moss & Pepper. Which one are you grabbing? https://f.mtr.cool/m3qu9ryu6w
