Uncle Neil’s Home is a nonprofit farm animal sanctuary and cat rescue located in New Jersey. The sanctuary is dedicated to rescuing animals from abuse, neglect, and even the food system, and it provides a safe home for animals in need.
One of the residents is a pig named Cashew, who was found as a piglet in April 2023, alone, sick, and covered in ticks and mange in the woods. Since then, he’s called Uncle Neil’s home and is thriving. He also came up with the cutest way to scratch an itch that he can’t reach on his back, and after watching this video, you’re guaranteed to have a smile on your face!
The clever pig figured out a very creative and fun way to scratch his own back! Uncle Neil’s Home joked in the caption, “Cashew is fine! LOL! You know when you finally get to scratch the itch that’s been bothering you all day, and it feels euphoric? That’s what that was!”
