WELL, HOLD THE PHONE...WE HAVE A WINNER! 🎉
After a whole bunch of excitement during our Kitten Kit Campaign, it's time to announce the lucky winner of our raffle for the stunning, handmade quilt!

✨ ANGIE HUCKABY! ✨

Now y'all, Angie didn't just toss her name in the hat and hope for the best. She showed up in a BIG way by donating a pile of kitten kit supplies AND making a financial donation to help the tiniest, most vulnerable kittens. That's the kind of support that keeps these lifesaving, outreach programs rolling right along.

Angie will be receiving the beautiful handmade quilt soon, it's headed her way this week!

We also want to give a standing ovation, a fist bump, and maybe even sparkle jazz hands to everyone who donated, shared, cheered us on, and supported this campaign. Thanks to you, we still have plenty of Kitten Kits available during business hours for community members who find themselves caring for vulnerable neonatal kittens.
3238 Clay Avenue Waco, Texas 76711
Monday thru Friday 8am-5pm.

Now, before everybody starts scooping up every kitten they see, here's your friendly reminder:
🐱 A kitten's very best chance at survival is with its mama, until 6 weeks of age.
Kitten Kits are intended for use only after it has been determined that mom has not returned for at least 24 hours. Mama cats are often off hunting, hiding, or keeping watch from a distance. If she's still in the picture, she's always the best caregiver for her babies.
When kittens truly are orphaned, these kits can be the difference between life and death.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our Outreach Programs. Every act of kindness helps us be ready when the next pet needs a helping hand.

Y'all are brighter than a Texas sunset and more fabulous than a large cup of Bushes Sweet Tea!

Thank you for helping us save lives—one whisker, paw and tail at a time. ❤️🐾

Within 100mi of Waco, there are currently 3,483 cats and 9,658 dogs on Petfinder.com looking for new homes. To help alleviate the strain on local shelters and rescues, we're proud to provide a Pet Food Pantry so that no family has to consider surrendering their beloved pet due to an issue that can be solved as simply as receiving a bag of food. 🫂

Unfortunately, our Pet Food Pantry is running extremely low - in some cases, completely out - of:
• Dry adult dog food
• Dry puppy food
• Dry cat food
• Dry kitten food
• Kitty litter

We’re asking our community to help us make sure no one has to face saying goodbye to their furry family member over a bag of food. 💚

How you can help:
Pick up your favorite pet food and goodies at your local store and drop off donations anytime we’re open! Drop off at 3238 Clay Ave Waco, TX 76711 | Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:30pm

OR

Send supplies directly through our wish lists below (you can even sign up for monthly shipping to help keep our pantry stocked):
Amazon - https://a.co/cMF3iQ4

If you’re able, please choose multiple smaller bags instead of one large bag. This helps our team distribute food more quickly and efficiently to the families who need it most!

Every bag donated keeps a bowl full, a pet at home, and a family together. 💜

🐾 June is National Microchipping Month! 🐾

Every pet parent knows the feeling. The panic that sets in when you can't find your pet. One open gate, a broken leash, or a moment of fear during a storm can change everything in an instant. A microchip is a simple, safe, and permanent form of identification that greatly increases the chances of a lost pet being reunited with their family.

While collars and tags can be lost, a microchip stays with your pet and provides a direct link back to the people who love them most. If your pet is ever found and brought to a veterinary clinic, shelter, firehouse, etc, staff can scan the chip and contact you using the information registered to it.

We've seen the tears of joy when a lost pet is reunited with their family, and we've seen the heartbreak when there is no way to identify a beloved companion. Microchipping helps ensure that if the unthinkable happens, your pet has the best possible chance of finding their way back home.

This National Microchipping Month, give your pet a voice when they can't speak for themselves. A microchip isn't just identification, it's peace of mind, hope, and a better chance at a happy reunion.

Click the link in the comments below to book your microchip appointment - It's one of the easiest ways to protect the pets you love. 🧡

The Dog Days of Summer Are Upon Us! 🐾🌞

When we first met Stella and Bellissima, these gorgeous girls were struggling with hair loss due to flea allergies. Within a short month on flea/tick preventatives, they had a massive glow-up! To celebrate their now itch-free lives and shiny coats, our Outreach team celebrated with a pool party. 😎

Yesterday May 20th was National Rescue Dog Day, and around here, we know rescue dogs are something special.

They come from everywhere: shelters, rescues, parking lots, highways and friends.

They all have the very best story of how they came to be in our life.

Rescue dogs have a way of changing everything. They become couch potatoes, adventure buddies, protectors, comedians, shadow-followers, and family. They teach us about resilience, compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love in ways words hardly describe.

Today, we want to celebrate the rescue dogs who found their people — and the people who opened their hearts to them. We also want to thank all of our local rescue friends who take it upon themselves to give love and compassion to animals that need it most!

Share a photo of your rescue dog in the comments and tell us a little about them: How did they come into your life? What is their story? What makes them unforgettable?
We would love to fill our comment section with happy tails, second chances, and dogs who made life better just by being in it.
We know every rescue dog deserves to be celebrated and deeply loved.

Thank you for trusting us with the care of your best companion-we are grateful!

We just wrapped up our annual Petworking in the Park event in partnership with the Cen-Tex African American Chamber of Commerce 🐶🐱

It was a warm one out there but thanks to our incredible volunteers, generous vendors, and every one of YOU who joined us, 187 pets at Brazos Park East received free preventative care, including vaccines, microchipping, veterinary exams, nail trims, and more! 🐾

This event is an impactful part of our strategic work to make affordable, accessible veterinary care a reality for every pet. By providing these essential services, we helped save local pets and their families more than $22,000 in care costs. The impact of May 9th goes far beyond just one day, it means healthier pets, supported families, and a stronger community for us all.

A special thank-you to Petco Love for their lifesaving partnership, providing support for vaccinations through their Vaccinated and Loved Grant! 💜

The countdown to the the 5th annual Petworking community event begins now and we can’t wait to do it all again!
