🐈‍⬛🖤 Happy National Black Cat Day! 🖤🐈‍⬛

Today we’re celebrating the beauty, mystery, and charm of black cats – often overlooked due to old myths and misconceptions.

🐾 Sadly, black cats are still the least likely to be adopted from rescue centres. They account for nearly three times more entries into RSPCA care than other colours and take around three times longer to find a home.

Why? Superstitions, outdated beliefs, and the idea that they don’t photograph well have all unfairly impacted their chances – but we know how wonderful they truly are.

✨ Have a black cat in your life? Share a photo and their story in the comments – let’s show the world just how special they are!

🏡🐾 Great news for renters and their pets! 🐾🏡

It’s a great day for private renters, as the Renters' Rights Bill has officially passed through Parliament! 🎉

For the first time, landlords will no longer be able to unreasonably refuse pets in private rental homes. This long-awaited change means more people can enjoy the companionship of a pet without the fear of losing their home or being forced to choose between the two. ❤️

This milestone comes after years of tireless campaigning from organisations such as the RSPCA, Dogs Trust, and Cats Protection, to name just a few. Their dedication has highlighted the thousands of renters who were previously forced to give up pets due to restrictive tenancy rules — and today marks the start of real change.

Once it receives Royal Assent, the Bill will officially become law, paving the way for happier, more pet-friendly homes across the country.

This is an important moment for pet owners, making it easier for them to enjoy life with their furry companions at home. 🐶🐱

🐢🦎 Reptile Awareness Day: Keep Your Scaly Friends Happy! 🐍

Reptiles are fascinating pets, but they need the right care to thrive. Here are some tips to keep them healthy and happy:

🌡 Temperature is everything – Most reptiles are cold-blooded, so they rely on heat lamps or basking spots to regulate their body temperature.

💧 Humidity matters – Snakes, lizards, and turtles need the right humidity levels to shed properly and stay hydrated.

🏡 Habitat is key – Provide hiding spots, climbing areas, and water sources to mimic their natural environment.

🥗 Diet counts – From live insects to specialised reptile pellets, each species has unique nutritional needs.
🧼 Cleanliness keeps them healthy – Regularly clean tanks and enclosures to prevent illness.

🕒 Routine care – Check your pet daily for signs of stress, injury, or unusual behaviour.

Reptiles may not purr or wag tails, but they thrive when their environment is just right. 💚

✨🪔 Happy Diwali from all of us at Petpals! 🐾

As homes across the UK light up in celebration, we’d like to wish everyone joy, love and prosperity this Diwali.

While you celebrate, please remember to keep your furry friends safe and comfortable too:

🎆 Fireworks: Keep pets indoors during displays, close windows and curtains, and pop on some background noise to help mask the sounds.

🕯️ Candles & Diyas: Place them safely out of reach — curious paws and wagging tails can easily cause accidents.

🍬 Festive Foods: Many Diwali treats, like sweets and fried snacks, aren’t suitable for pets. Keep them well out of reach, and offer pet-friendly treats instead!

Wishing you and your pets a safe and happy Diwali! 💫🐶🐱
