This is how we wish to remember Parker. Unbothered, fat, lazy, and always photo-ready 🖤🐱

From the busy parking lot of Eton Centris in Quezon City, he came to us before BFFS was conceived. His days chasing birds and darting under parked cars were abruptly ended when he was hit by a car and left with a paralyzed hind area.

Adopting a cat who is unable to use a litter box is intimidating to many, and we wanted to change that. We learned to express his bladder and stimulate his bowels. 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes before bedtime was all it took to keep him clean and comfortable.

After being a loner for almost 2 years, we got him a little sister, a kitten who suffered the same fate. Still unbothered, he let little Vivi share his bed, showing her that life as a special needs cat wasn't so bad when you get to enjoy nice beds, toys, treats, and head scritches. They became inseparable.

Parker's health deteriorated over many months. While enduring several vet visits and bitter meds, he continued to be Vivi's strong and patient "kuya" until the very end.

To help us honor Parker, please consider how YOU might be able to change the life of a disabled rescued animal. Inquire with your local animal shelter, and try to get acquainted with adoptable rescues with special needs. Helpful information is also available online. Here's an article we wrote, to start with: https://bffs.org.ph/caring-for-pets-with-hind-leg-paralysis/

Thank you, Parker, for being a truly special cat. 🙏🌈

Basil waiting for his chewable supplements is too cute🥹 He has two hooman BFFs who continue to support him monthly. With their help, Basil has a steady supply of medicated shampoo and priobiotics. We are thankful❤️

Thank you to everyone who shared and engaged with our recent post looking for a helper. Thank you also to those who took the time to attend the video interview. We've found one part-timer who has been a HUGE help. We are still looking for another helper, part or full time, to assist with other duties.

Please don't be offended if we don't respond to comments. We prioritize applicants who show a genuine interest by messaging us proactively. Plus, animal care takes up most of our time. The hooman barely has time to shower (TMI?) 😶‍🌫️

Our feline residents are happy that their cattery is looking (and smelling) nicer. Again, thank you, and wish us luck! ❤️

At first glance, Rei looked like an ordinary rabbit, hopping and binkying about in his enclosure with no care in the world. But this precious bunny had to "endure" special care to keep him healthy and happy. Regular butt cleaning and trimming were part of his regimen. And as any bun parent would know, that is no easy task.

We were lucky that he was such a good boy. He would sit patiently as his hooman held him steady for a good 15 minutes to make sure that his butt stayed clean and dry. Without this weekly routine, he would have urine scalding due to his semi-splayed legs which kept him from p*eing in the correct position.

He was also a good boy when he traveled with us, whether it was for a quick vet check, an overnight stay at an Airbnb, or an activity-filled visit at a pre-school for an educational talk on rabbit care—he was the perfect furry companion.

Thank you to Doc Leo of New Alabang Veterinary Center and Doc Jonathan of Petwell Animal Clinic - Magalang for your prompt assistance and compassionate approach, and for giving Rei a fighting chance.

We will miss you dearly, little bun-bun. Binky free 🐰🌈🩷

We'd like to ask for a favor... We are in need of a helper, and finding someone with a genuine love for animals is not easy.

The doggos are used to being spoiled. Their hooman (yours truly) juggles work, household chores and animal care. The hooman needs help so that we can keep giving them the high standard of care that we promised.

In addition to salary and accommodation, we provide food allowance for stay-in help (loc: Angeles City, Pampanga) but we are also open to a stay-out arrangement. Other details will be discussed with anyone who inquires.

Referrals would be appreciated🙏We thank you in advance!!!

SUNSHINE AFTER THE RAIN ⛅️⛅️⛅️

It's so easy to take sunny days for granted. In fact, it's easy to take many things for granted. Like having a roof over our heads.

But not Ligaya. Ligaya is always thankful. 🙏❤️

No one knew Pedro, but we want him to be remembered.

Before we left our previous rental house, he came to us skin and bones, limping and starving. As we laid down some food for him, the first thing he did was rub up against the hooman's leg in gratitude. And then he wolfed down what seemed like his first good meal in days.

He came to us just as we were packing up to move to our new house. We'd like to think that he knew what was going on, and he wanted to come along.

We took him to the vet and found out he was FIV-positive. For 5 months, we tried to give him his health back. Today is supposed to be his follow-up after being confined at Petwell Animal Clinic - Magalang 2 weeks ago. He fought hard, but he had been unwell for too long and he was ready to rest.

We're comforted knowing that his last days were spent in a comfortable home. He had the unique privilege of being a spoiled solo cat in a multi-cat household, as we closed off our living area entirely for him. Every day, we gave him 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners, always mixed with extra servings of wet food. He loved sleeping in his cat bed, on the coffee table, the kitchen counter, the microwave, the shoe rack, the hooman's lap — all the years of sleeping underneath cars completely forgotten.

If you are considering getting a pet, please consider adopting an FIV-positive cat from your local animal shelter. RIP Pedro 🖤

Snakes get a bad rep -- and understandably so!

Popular media often depict snakes as villains. It's true that their venom can kill. And yes, some of our residents have died from snake bites. That's why we have taken serious steps to keep them safe.

But the reality is that not all snakes are venomous or aggressive. Snake aggression is often the result of feeling threatened or provoked. If you encounter a snake, the best course of action is to leave it alone. Many people make the mistake of poking or shooing them to try to make them go away, but that only triggers their defensive mode. Chances are, it's just as scared as you are and will go away on its own.

When left alone, they mostly go about their day, attending to their vital role in the ecosystem: Helping maintain biodiversity and population control of pests and rodents!

House fires are among the most devastating disasters a family could face. While they are less likely to break out during storm season, it's a good idea to take this time to review our fire escape plan, particularly as it concerns our pets.

The American Red Cross provides the following tips for including pets in our fire escape plan:

1. Organize a separate disaster kit for your pet

This disaster kit should contain preserved food, water, medicine, bandages, p*e pads, and other pet-care essentials you might need in the case of emergencies.

2. Arrange a safe place for pets to stay if you need to leave home

You may also consider getting a trusted friend or family member to babysit your pets while you're gone!

3. When you practice your escape plan, practice taking your pets with you

Evacuation drills are easy enough when alone, but it's a good idea to practice taking your pet, especially if you have more than two. You don't want to strategize how to carry all your bags and pets in a crisis while it's happening!

4. Train your pet to come to you when you call

All pet owners know the struggle of calling for your pet, only for them to run even faster with whatever it is in their mouths. While a funny anecdote, it might make for a stressful evacuation!

5. Keep pets near entrances when away from home, or somewhere rescuers can easily find them

This gives your pet a better chance of escaping and saves time for rescuers trying to locate them.

6. Consider attaching a '(number) Pets Inside House' sticker to your window

Doing so alerts rescuers that pets may have been left inside and need rescuing. This is especially helpful if you are away from home.

If owners know it's not possible to carry their pets or go back to rescue them, then as a last resort, they 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 release any pets from leashes or cages to give them a chance to escape.

No one likes thinking of disasters, but this Fire Safety Day, we encourage owners to take the necessary precautions that could protect their pets from house fires.

Our rescued turtle Enchong had a lovely home back at the farm, but we moved her to our rental house so we can look after her more closely. We've made sure that she still has plenty of space to roam, dig, and bask.

This is her showing off her remarkable balancing skills, and taking advantage of the sun before it starts raining again. 🐢

And did you know: Enchong has 2 hooman BFFs who regularly send her support for food! We're glad that we're able to give her a pleasant life with your help. 🙏❤️

It's National Kitten Day, but not everyone is celebrating. Unwanted kittens are still being thrown away, left to roam or to die from hunger, sickness, or injury.

Many well-meaning individuals and organizations do their best to help rescue and rehome these kittens, but the sad truth is that they are vastly outnumbered. Thousands of street cats give birth to an average of 6 kittens every day. Even pet shelters have limited capacity, and sometimes have to make the difficult decision of euthanizing their rescues before they get a chance to find a home.

Fortunately, there are ways to help! The most effective way is to spay or neuter your pets.

What are the benefits?

• Lessens the number of stray kittens, as they are often a result of unwanted litters

• Minimizes the likelihood of cats leaving home to find a mate

• Prevents testicular cancer in male cats, and breast cancer in female cats

• Often results in a much better behaved pets

• Relieves pressure on animal welfare organizations to accommodate a large number of rescues, and can instead focus on getting shelter animals adopted

Spaying/neutering, in tandem with adoption, will slow the growth of stray animal population.

PAWS offers affordable services to responsible owners who wish to get their pets spayed/neutered. You may find details such as rates, procedures, and FAQs on their website: https://paws.org.ph/spay-neuter/
