thank you for the kind words and condolences. rufus wasn’t with us long but he made a huge impact on our home. if you’d like to do something in rufus’ memory, consider donating to your favorite and/or local shelter, adopting a senior cat, or a cat with medical needs

Really looking for anyone with bottle baby experience who could take on up to 5 2-week old kittens (or two 3 week old kittens). Things with mama Shiva are just not stabilizing and she is beginning to neglect the kittens and I am going to have to step in. I am beyond capacity, overwhelmed, exhausted.

Do you recognize these pets?

Every pet in this post is an unclaimed stray from the last two weeks. We'd love to reconnect them with their owners.

It's National Pet Choking Prevention Day!

Did you know cats can choke on everyday items? Keep your kitty safe by cutting up string/yarn toys, chopping treats into mini pieces, and avoiding small, swallowable objects. Know the signs of choking: pawing at mouth, gagging/no sound, & panicked behavior

a standard issue cat laying down on a human. the human has a finger pointed towards the cat, and the cat has a strange, almost perturbed look on its face. the cat does not think she is stinky, especially since the human smells like a strange dog right now
