Newly adopted Jake (formerly Stitch) is here to wish you a HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY and show everyone how much he is enjoying the good life indoors!
From surviving in the elements outside and once deemed feral, this lucky boy had someone see his true potential and give him time, patience and love. Today, Jake is transformed and thriving … neutered, happy and healthy!
Thanks to the Small Town Cat Project and Marley's Pet Rescue for stepping up to help get this boy off the mean streets of Northumberland County, his dedicated foster mom Steph and @mila_sassy pants for giving this little lion a loving Furever home 🦁🧡
I invite you to enjoy watching Jake commit to his clearly delicious & healthy meat smoothie from Caru Pet Food - we carry all 4 flavours (Chicken, Tuna, Chicken & Salmon, Tuna & Salmon) at the Boutique.
And today especially, we hope that more cats like Jake get a chance to enjoy the good & safe life indoors 🙏

Sunday loves his cat grass!
Sunday loves his cat grass!
DID YOU KNOW? Grass adds vitamins, minerals, roughage and fiber to your cat’s diet, which can help their digestive systems function at their best. Cats that regularly eat a small amount of cat grass often have less diarrhea or constipation, fewer hairballs, and a healthier digestive system overall.
It’s also a great source of mental enrichment 🧠
This premium blend from local County Cat Grass Co. is available in easy to grow containers and seed packs. Snag one today, your kitties will thank you! 💚
We get the CUTEST and most interesting visitors popping into the Boutique! We absolutely loved having Gertrude the Sphynx Kitty stop by with her family. She decided that the Daily Dish Smoothies Treats from Caru Pet Food were pretty delicious 😋
These are an irresistibly creamy, lickable treat for cats! Natural, 100% human grade ingredients with no added sugar, salt, preservatives or colors. You can pour into bowl, use as a dry food topper or serve right out of the tube which Gertrude prefers 😍
Curious about Sphynx cats? Here are some facts:
🐾 Personality: The Sphynx is an energetic, highly intelligent, curious and affectionate cat, described by many as being almost dog-like in their friendliness to both family and strangers. They are extremely outgoing, crave attention and will want to be involved in everything you do, to the point of potentially being irritating and in the way – be prepared to be supervised and assisted in all matters around the home, from paperwork to DIY, cooking to taking a bath!
🐾 Grooming: These guys also need lots of special care! The Sphynx cat needs to bathe a lot more than usual for cats. But since these cats don’t have the hair to absorb oils from the body, they tend to build up smells that aren’t always pleasant. In addition, because of all the folds they have on their bodies, Sphynx cats have a harder time grooming themselves.
🐾 NOT hypoallergenic: Because people commonly assume that the Sphynx cats are hairless, they also assume that the cats are hypoallergenic. They are not. If you are looking for a cat that will not aggravate your allergies, the Sphynx breed will not be the right match for you. Sphynx cats still produce dander, all the microscopic pieces of dried cats skin that gets everywhere—your bed, your couch, your carpets, and any other surfaces. This is actually what causes cat allergies, not cat fur. It might even be worse for the Sphynx because they don’t have enough hair for dander to hang
LOVELY DAY ☀️
My adorable fur-niece, Soleil, is showing off her foraging skills with her new avocado snuffle mat from PawzNDogz as we ease into this lovely Sunday morning 💫 And she’s on theme with the green 🥑🍀
Did you know that a dog being mentally stimulated for roughly 15 minutes can burn as much energy if not more than a walk?
“A snuffle mat can be considered as a puzzle dog bowl that is specifically designed to hide dry food, making it more challenging for your dogs to eat, all while encouraging them to practice their innate foraging skills. Snuffle mats act as a dog slow feeder or enrichment toy and require dogs to move the pieces of the mat around to access their food. Snuffle mats are a great tool to use if you are wondering how to make your dog eat more slowly and they can help prevent the dangers of your dog eating too fast.”
Snuffle Mats benefit dogs because they:
🐾 Provide mental stimulation
🐾 Prevent speedy eating
🐾 Reduce begging
🐾 Burn energy
🐾 Keep your dog entertained while you enjoy your Sunday morning coffee 😉
🐾 Help curb separation anxiety
🐾 Reduce stress
🐾 Stimulate their sense of smell
🐾 Help keep doggy dementia away
🐾 Redirect problematic behaviors to positive ones
🐾 All sorts of pets can benefit including cats, rabbits, rats and more!
Wishing you all a lovely day ☀️

✨SERVICE ROOM GLOWUP✨
I often mention my fervent belief in community over competition because I see it at work in my community and my circle of incredible small business owners. Today has been yet another example of this. My wonderful friend Jodi took time out of her day to help me in my store. On her day off when she could have been doing a million other things for her business Weekenders Vintage ~ which if you haven’t been to yet please do yourself a favour and go! They are having their annual March Madness 50% Sale 🎉
Now my beloved Service Room, which enables Catalyst Animal Chiropractic and Little Brown Dog Massage Therapy to provide therapeutic services for pets, will be even more welcoming and tranquil with this stunning wall mural of a birch forest 🍃 ☀️
We are all stronger together and as my other great friend Dana says “all ships rise with the tide” ❤️
