Merry Christmas to all my past boarding kitties and their families. I sure miss seeing all of you and think of you often. Would love to hear how you are all doing. Please feel free to update me and post pictures 💞

Anyone interested in fostering a semi feral mom with newborns or a semi feral mom with 3 week old kittens? It’s kitten explosion time! Shelters are full to the brim with surrendered cats, pregnant females and kittens!!

These two meowzers are up for adoption. 8 year old sisters. A bonded pair that must go together. They are quiet and sweet typical orange kitties. Apply to Katie’s Place and fill in an adoption application.

Remember the kitty rescued from Boston Barr that had been shot with a BB gun?

I’d like to introduce you to Kitchi meaning brave young man. He is blossoming in his foster home and recovering well from all his wounds and trauma. He will soon be looking for a forever loving family.

Thank you to everyone that donated to his care. He now gets a second chance because of you!

* FOSTER NEEDED *

Hi! My name is Millie and I am a healthy 11 year old female. I have been at the shelter for almost year now and am very ready to go to my forever home. I struggle a bit with meeting new people, but once I get to know you I promise I’m a great companion. We posted a video on our story today of me snuggling with a staff member if you don’t believe me!

The staff at FVHS thought someone might be more able to take a chance on me in a foster placement (and hopefully foster to adopt). So if you think I would be a good match for you, please contact us through messenger!

Have experienced this with three of our senior horses😢 they absolutely greave for one another. Making it even more gut wrenching and hard to take 😢

Anyone who doesn’t realize these beautiful souls have hearts and emotions and families has simply spent no time with them or paid attention. We had to euthanize Ajax this afternoon. It was gut wrenching, heart breaking and a loss that will never be filled. Quarter Quarter - on the right - loved this big draft gentleman. He was one of a kind amazing and gentle and taught this little man all about being a horse. So I wanted him to be able to say goodbye to Ajax and find an understanding in his own way as to why he was going to be gone and never come back. I didn’t want Ajax to just “disappear” and Quarter look and cry for him as I have seen happen with others.

Quarter spent over an hour trying to get Ajax up. He pulled on him. He bit him. He pawed him. He pushed him. He whinnied at him. Over and over for more than sixty agonizing minutes. When I or his mama tried to move him away or console him he laid his ears back, bared his teeth and pushed us away from Ajax’s body. He was guarding him and wanted nobody near. Finally, he fell to the ground next to Ajax and cried. I don’t really care if anyone believes a horse can cry, this little man did and it has left me sobbing for three hours. Deep, guttural wails of grief. And so he lay, until his mama finally forced him to his feet and we were able to move him out of the riding arena so we could take Ajax away.

The lessons we could learn that are right in front of us that so many simply can’t see. This is family. This is grief. This is love. It just looks different.

Hope update💞
We’ll Hope has quite the little fan club! So many of my Cats in the Meadow families have asked in the past year….. How is Hope?
So I wish I could say she has changed and become much more lax but there has been little change to her behaviour. Partly because last July we lost our little dog Lola. Many of you will remember our little Puggle sounding the alarm when you dropped off your kitties for their stay. Because I am not happy being dogless, in came Chico. Chihuahua crossed with something 🤷‍♀️ we think Corgi ? Chico has a strong prey drive and thinks Hope wants to play with him. In the beginning he literally terrorized her. She has now come to accept the whirling dervish and seema unphazed by his shenanigans. Hope loves to be petted and brushed but still remains guarded. She does not want to be picked up although I do from time to time…. It then takes her a week to forgive me lol. At times I still feel guilty for not allowing her to go back to her feral life existence, but then on a cold rainy/snowy night I am
Happy she is safe, warm and looking for her treats.💞
See remarks for Chico & Hope games that goes in all day.
