Towards the end of kitten season, when it’s starting to get very cold at night (and all through the winter) just about every kitten we pick up that was born outdoors has a horrible upper respiratory infection (snot, fevers, horrible/painful pink eye, lethargy, and not wanting to eat). These guys have weak immune systems and often will not survive without medical intervention. Being in the cold is too much for their little bodies 💔
Please, if you see unfixed outdoor cats around your home or place of work, make plans to get them TNR’d BEFORE they have kittens.

we have been on a journey with little lady Sunkist. while her brother Creamsicle grew big and strong, Sunkist lagged behind dramatically. At 8 weeks old, she weighs just over a pound. today, x-rays revealed that she has a hiatal hernia, when a portion of the stomach or lower esophagus pushes up through the diaphragm's esophageal opening into the chest cavity. Most feline cases are congenital and often involve a "sliding" (Type I) hernia where the displacement comes and goes. this has made swallowing difficult for her, and has caused her acid reflux and vomitting. We have new medications for her and a game-plan to help her put on more weight.

keep our little chicken nugget in your thoughts and prayers 💖🐈

Leia is a gentle little lovebug. 💕 At 8 years old, she’s mastered the art of being sweet, calm, and cuddly. All she wants is to hang out by your side, soak up the love, and be your cherished companion.

Meet Blossom 🌸💕 This sweet girl was once a young mom, and now it’s finally HER turn to be loved and spoiled! Blossom absolutely adores people and would love to be your one and only feline companion. She’s not a fan of other cats, and honestly, can you blame her? We all have people we’d rather keep our distance from, and Blossom feels the same way about other kitties! 😂 She knows what she likes, and that’s having her humans all to herself. If you’re looking for a loving companion who wants to be the queen of her castle, Blossom might just be your perfect match!

🩺🐾 IT’S NATIONAL VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK! 🖤🐾

This week is an opportunity to observe the veterinary teams who bring clinical knowledge, patience, technical skills, and emotional effort to the hospital every day (with an EMPHASIS on emotional effort!). From taking great care of ill patients, to dealing with difficult owners, to working exhaustingly long shifts - veterinary professionals deserve more recognition than they get.

We could not take care of our rescues and our own pets without their selflessness. We are eternally grateful to the amazing veterinary teams we rely on for being there when we need them most.

For taking care of our rescue kitties/bunnies and our own pets, a special thank you to the following teams:

🖤 Mercerville Animal Hospital
🖤 Cats Only Vet Hospital & Mcsnip
🖤 Nottingham Animal Hospital
🖤 Edinburg Animal Hospital
🖤 Dr Jarvis - Cats at Home
🖤 Heartland Veterinary & Boarding - Drs. Katina & Bill Carter

We encourage everyone to tell your veterinary teams how much you appreciate them this week 🐈💖
