Peanut was found outside by a lovely fixed-income couple. She was so little she could fit in her human dad’s hand. Thanks to the warm hearts of her rescuers and the amazing SNIP voucher program here at WAC, Peanut is set to grow up in a happy, healthy home And not worry about becoming a teen mom!

Your time and donations help kittens like Peanut everyday! Help us prevent pet homelessness one spay/neuter at a time!

🍁 Those fallen leaves are more than yard debris — they’re part of a thriving ecosystem!

🐢 Eastern box turtles seek out protected places, including loose soil and leaf litter, to survive colder months.

🦋 Butterflies, moths, and beneficial insects use fallen leaves for shelter during different stages of their lives.

🐸 Frogs and salamanders depend on moist, sheltered habitats beneath leaves and logs.

🐦 Birds benefit from the insects and other tiny creatures that live among fallen leaves.

❤️ How can you help?

You don’t have to leave your entire yard covered! Simply allow leaves to remain in garden beds, beneath shrubs, along wooded edges, or in a quiet corner of your property.

And remember, before raking, mowing, or moving piles of leaves, be mindful of the little lives that may be hiding there.

🌎 Sometimes the kindest thing we can do for wildlife is simply leave nature alone.

Every creature has a place in our world, and even the smallest acts of kindness make a difference. 💚

🍂 This fall, leave a little wild space for wildlife!

🐾❄️ A Little Shelter Can Save a Life This Winter! ❤️

As temperatures begin to drop, let’s remember the community cats who have no warm homes to curl up in. For feral and stray cats, winter can be a dangerous time. But a few simple acts of kindness can make a lifesaving difference! 🐈

🏠 PROVIDE A SAFE, WARM SHELTER

You don’t need anything fancy! A sturdy plastic storage tote, properly insulated and protected from the elements, can provide much-needed refuge from freezing temperatures.

🌾 STRAW, NOT HAY!

This is SO important!

❌ HAY absorbs moisture, becomes damp, and can grow mold, leaving cats colder.

✅ STRAW repels moisture and helps trap warmth, giving outdoor cats a dry, cozy place to rest.

Remember: Hay is for horses. Straw is for strays! ❤️

🐾 GET THEIR SHELTER OFF THE GROUND!

Elevating a shelter several inches on a stable platform helps reduce heat loss to the frozen ground and protects against moisture. Insulating the walls, floor, and roof provides even more protection.

💙 A FEW MORE WAYS TO HELP:

🐱 Provide fresh food and water daily. Check often to make sure water hasn’t frozen.

🐱 Position shelters away from wind, rain, and snow.

🐱 Keep shelter entrances small to help retain warmth.

🐱 Never use blankets, towels, or other fabrics in unheated outdoor shelters. They absorb moisture and can freeze.

🐱 Whenever possible, help friendly stray cats find safe indoor homes.

❤️ COMPASSION DOESN’T STOP AT OUR FRONT DOOR.

These cats didn’t choose to live outdoors. Many are simply doing their best to survive. A little effort on our part can mean the difference between suffering and safety.

Please share this post! Someone in your neighborhood may be able to help a cat stay warm this winter.
