This could be the most important thing that you see us post! Its an epidemic this year, and these things are as lethal as a venomous snake in the wrong senerio! Please not only read it, but share it! Make sure we get the word out about these tics and the disease they carry!

It's summer! Time for camping, hiking and getting outside to play. Don't let those pesky annoying ticks stop you. Here's how with a simple homemade solution!

Repellent for your pets:

For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).

To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and ge****ls. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.

For you and your family:

In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil.

Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks.

After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine your skin and hair when back inside to make sure no ticks are on the body.

Hi - this is Michele and I know it’s a long post but please read it. Milo’s is close to being no more.

Hi, this is Michele Hoffman and I am the President and Founder of Milo’s Sanctuary, Inc. I never thought I would have to write something like this but I have tried everything in my power to keep Milo’s Sanctuary going but I’m at the end of what I can do at this point in my life. I’ve given almost all of my retirement, paychecks and other monetary donations to Milo’s Sanctuary and I have nothing left in my accounts.
 
We are currently struggling, and I mean struggling to meet the day-to-day finances that keep this Sanctuary running and the animals safe. That is why I’m asking all of you to help, the idea of Milo’s closing and these beautiful babies having nowhere else to go is ripping my heart out every day. We have tightened our belts, have been downsizing as we can and have not taken in any new cats and have no intention of doing so at this time.
 
As many of you know I just had a video come out with AARP and it has gone viral, I was praying it would find new donors but so far nothing has come of it. We don’t have corporate sponsors, celebrity sponsors or big donors like many of the large rescues and humane society’s local to Southern California do. We rely on our friends and followers. We have tried over the years to get corporations, celebrities or big donors interested in what we do but it has never happened.

It’s embarrassing and makes me sick to my stomach to have to write this but in order to save all the angels we have in our care I do this for them.
