Phaedra & Phriends Representing Disabled/Special Needs Pets as disabled does not mean disposable. To quote a FB friend: "Blindness is their ABILITY not their disability."

(We also helped feral cats in our mobile home park that desperately needed care, by promoting a TNR program) http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=gno_listpop_wi Phaedra & Phriends is designed to share the love we have of our blind cats "Phaedra, Keller, Joker & Geordi" (plus the rest of our "special" kitties) with all animal lovers AND where those who may also have special needs animals can share photos and their stories of their pets. Here is the link to an article written about Phaedra: http://peacelovenwhiskers.com/2012/08/11/animal-articles-meet-phaedra/

We started in a mobile home community within Holland, MI, and developed what we called (for lack of a better term): "Phaedra's Pherals". We supported the feral community that Phaedra was born into, by giving them food, shelter, and medical care. If left up to the management of the park, the cats would have been trapped and dispatched of. Most of that community lives on Social Security, Disability, or unemployment, which is what makes this task of helping so daunting and why we are in need of assistance. We have saved many feral kittens, seven of which are blind, and hope to be able to continue saving them and getting them in a TNR Program (trap, neuter, release). Anyone wanting to help "donate", we have two ways people can donate:

Any donation helps with food and supplies for the animals. We are hoping to get enough donations to get Tadpole a new wheel to run on as the one we have doesn’t turn anymore.

“We take in these special babies… and when they do so well… we get complacent or get so comfortable that we forget that we never know how much time we have with them.”
I went and gave Aurora and Tadpole more food, two cans of moist food as treats, filled their big bowl with water yesterday. They were happy. I woke early today, let the boys out and I always take to Aurora and Tadpole through the window while I’m outside. Tadpole was too busy eating to care, Aurora didn’t appear… and I just knew. She passed during the night.
Fly free sweetie, I know Nebula was there to greet you the second you crossed and I know you are running like the wind with her. 💔

Happy Halloween from all of us at Phaedra & Phriends!

Today is going to be fun! We are having a Halloween contest at work and I’m going as myself! Mismatched clothes, I brushed hair, torn blanket, dog toy, cat toy, everything that tells my furbabies that the unemployed poor person doesn’t have to work. The only thing I’ll be missing is the nekid cat stuck to my shoulder!
I will let you figure out which picture is my costume and which one is from when I woke up! 🤣😹🐶😹🐶😹🤣
