Sunday Turns 10 — A Heartfelt Celebration & Fundraiser Success 🐷
Ten years ago, a tiny piglet sat quietly in a cage outside a gift shop in Gloucester — displayed as nothing more than a Christmas meal. But fate had other plans. That piglet was Sunday.
When Sunday was rescued, he was given the chance to live the life all animals deserve — one filled with sunshine, mud baths, and friendship. Over the years, he’s become one of Moo to Ewe’s most beloved residents, a gentle soul whose story reminds everyone who meets him that compassion can change everything.
This November, we celebrated Sunday’s 10th birthday. It was a lovely turn out of people who have been a part of the Sanctuary, as volunteers, family and helpful hands. (Along with delicious food, including an incredible plant-based Tiramisu by none other than Compassion Creamery, lunch and sweet pastries catering by Miss Sina donated by Claudia & Scott, and some awesome sugar cookies inspired by Sunday!). Sunday loved his cake though his birthday wish was to eat it laying down.

To mark the occasion, we held a Birthday Raffle Fundraiser, bringing together our community to honour Sunday’s life and raise funds for the sanctuary.
We’re overjoyed to share that the celebration went beautifully, and through everyone’s kindness and support, we raised a little over $1,000 to help care for our residents over the summer months. These funds will go directly toward hay, medical care, and keeping our animal family cool and comfortable as the weather warms up. 🌾☀️
A huge thank you to everyone who bought tickets, shared our posts, and joined in the celebration. Your compassion means the world to us — and to Sunday.
A massive thank you also to the local companies/humans who donated to make this whole raffle possible: Harris Farm Market, Glee Coffee, Bunnings Warehouse, @allveganbooks, Friends & Co (a vegan hairdresser in Ourimbah), Lush.
🎟️ Congratulations to our raffle winners:
1st Prize – Steph

And to all who entered — thank you for helping us continue this mission of care, connection, and kindness.
Here’s to Sunday — our wise, gentle boy who reminds us daily that love transforms lives. 💛
