This trio came to Misfit Manor through PSPCA's working cat program. This program is designed for cats that do not thrive well in normal households. They prefer minimal contact with humans and adjust well to barns, warehouses or other facilities that may need some pest management. They each have some form of physical disability or minor health flare-ups which made them less desirable to average working cat adopters. Not Misfit Manor, of course, we are happy to have them.

Phineas is one of two pot-bellied pigs that came to us from PSPCA. He lost both of his ears from a combination of frostbite and untreated injuries while being kenneled with dogs. Phineas now enjoys a life of luxury which includes his own private play yard, complete with a pool!

Olive is one of two pot-bellied pigs that arrived to us from PSPCA. Once emaciated and unable to move, Olive is now back to her ideal weight and learning to trust people. She enjoys going for walks and making nests.

Named after the Saved by the Bell character, A.C. Slater is not as tough as he looks. In fact, he’s quite a softy at heart. This handsome fella arrived at Misfit Manor after he was found abandoned in an empty lot in Philadelphia. He can now be found at the ranch hanging with the hens and crowing at airplanes.

Violet arrived at Misfit Manor with her partner Quack Morris after they were surrendered to a Philadelphia shelter. Sadly, Quack crossed the rainbow bridge in August of 2019. The loss was difficult for Violet but she has taken solace with the other ducks. She can usually be found sun bathing, swimming or foraging for bugs.

Full of personality, Muscleman quickly became a fan favorite when he arrived at Misfit Manor. He was one of over 1,000 baby chicks seized by the PSPCA in September of 2018. No longer a baby, Muscleman spends his days hanging out with his best friend Olive the pig and fellow rescued rooster, Tony Squawk.

Wilford Halloween Brimley had a rough start for the first 7 years of his life. Seized from a backyard breeder, Wilford spent over a year in the shelter before being adopted. He then found him self back at the shelter a year later when he was picked up as a stray. A matted and ill mess, he arrived at Misfit Manor where it was discovered he needed nasal surgery in order to breathe properly.

Once a skittish and shy cat, Wilford has come out of his shell considerably since arriving at the ranch. He can now breathe through his nose, his digestion issues are under control and he’s learning to trust people. He enjoys playing with toys, watching birds and following the other resident cats around.

Found running through a park in North Philadelphia, Ophelia has quickly become one of the most popular misfits at the ranch. She enjoys interacting with people, digging in the dirt, eating snacks and starting trouble with the bigger animals. Ophelia earned the nickname “mosh pig” because she also loves running in circles, knocking things over and jumping off of whatever is in her way. Check out our Instagram page @misfit.manor for videos of Ophelia the Mosh Pig in action.

Carlton and Quillary Banks arrived at Misfit Manor after a brief stay at a Philadelphia shelter. They were just a little ducklings when they arrived and spent the first few weeks in the nursery until they traded in their baby fuzz for feather. Since they spent time around humans at a very young age, they’re usually among the first to greet guests and are not shy about demanding snacks.

Staci, Stacey & Stacy arrived at Misfit Manor in the Fall of 2018. They were part of the 1,000+ baby chicks seized by the PSPCA in a cruelty case and have been at the ranch since they were two weeks old. As Cornish Cross hens they’re raised to grow really big, really fast and then ultimately slaughtered at 8 weeks old for human consumption. However, at Misfit Manor these gals get to live out their lives, eating healthy food and getting lots of exercise.

Pig it up! Pig it up! Little Franceska came to the ranch as an owner surrender when her first family found out you can’t have a pig in the city. It took some time for her to adjust to farm life and while she enjoys foraging in the yard, she also loves following people around. Franceska earned the nickname “Ska Pig” due to her two-toned front hooves.

The tiniest hen in the flock also happens to be the head hen. Even though she arrived after the other red hens, Tori quickly established herself as leader. She can usually be found foraging with the head rooster or laying eggs in everyone else’s nesting boxes.

Once the head rooster at his previous home, Zeke found himself demoted when a younger cockerel moved to the farm. Despite attempts at making it work, his owners wanted to find a new place for Zeke to retire as he was getting beaten up pretty badly. Fortunately for Zeke we had an opening at the ranch. Zeke arrived in January of 2020 to live out his golden years in peace.

This fancy duo were part of a cruelty case through PSPCA in July of 2020. Arriving with a mild case of bumblefoot and some very crusty feathers, Bianca & Trixie have quickly transformed into the gorgeous birds they were meant to be. (Bianca is definitely a rooster.)

An estimated 17 years-old, Harley Race was picked up as a stray in Danville, PA before he found his way to the ranch. It appears that once upon a time someone loved Harley as he has a metal plate in his hip. This previous injury coupled with his age resulted in Harley developing megacolon, a chronic and frustrating condition. He doesn’t let that get him down though. Harley loves sitting in windows and cuddling with humans.

Once part of a large group of animals seized by the PSPCA , these gals arrived at Misfit Manor in November of 2020. They were fairly skittish in the beginning but quickly adjusted to the routine of sanctuary life. Top: Moriticia Bottom left to right: Harriett, Patty, Selma and Marge

Vivian arrived at Misfit Manor in the Spring of 2019 as a duckling with her mate Bill who passed unexpectedly in the March of 2020. Vivian is an independent gal who often leads the other ducks on foraging adventures. When she’s not quacking from across the yard she can be found relaxing in the pool.

The Jersey Shore ducks started their lives off as store bought Easter gifts only to be abandoned at a wildlife rehab center. Since they’re domestic ducks they couldn’t be released into the wild. Luckily there was space at Misfit Manor and in May of 2021, Snookie, Pauly D. & Vinny arrived at their permanent “beach” house.

Grayson used to be a member of a cat colony in West Philadelphia. One day he went missing and when he returned his leg was badly injured. After a consultation with a veterinarian, it was determined that it would be best to have the leg amputated. Grayson was not interested in being a house cat, so his advocates contacted Misfit Manor to see if he could live as a barn cat after surgery. Arriving in October of 2020, the other barn cats took to Grayson immediately. It took several months but he’s finally come around to farm life, and doesn’t always run away when he sees the humans.

The tiny but mighty Monty arrived at Misfit Manor in October of 2020 after spending several weeks at the animal control center in Philadelphia. Not a lot is known about Monty’s history though it’s speculated that he was abandoned for being a rooster. He’s a skittish little guy around people but loud and bossy around other chickens.
